Captain Swanger’s old general store! Would be nice to get this back to looking like an old general store. Hopefully there are hardwood floors underneath the tile. The store was built in 1844. It is located in Locustville, Virginia. Just a short walk to Burton Bay Beach. The upstairs has been turned into an apartment. Could live upstairs and run a business out of the bottom. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,936 square feet. $178,000

From the Zillow listing:
Captain Swanger, a merchant ship captain opened the store over 100 years ago, then renovated the 2nd floor into a lovely apartment and the first floor became a general store with breakfast and lunch restaurant. Ready to begin operation as home and business combination. Pleasant walk to Burton Bay beach.
