102 E Lafayette ST Monticello, IL 61856

This is your first opportunity, in nearly 30 years, to own this quaint and charming landmark in the heart of Monticello. Over the last 3 decades; the Steeple Gallery has been used as a tea room, retail store, art gallery, antique shop, office space, a framing shop, coffee shop and currently as an event rental space. It is very visible as it sits just 1 block off the downtown square. The main floor is loaded with charm; ie original - stain glass windows, hardwood floors, balcony and the arched ceilings & niches. There is a deck off the back with a 'walk-up' window. Enter the portico that either leads up to the main floor or to the lower level that has an open room, a certified kitchen, office space, a bathroom & storage area. There was a coffee shop recently that closed during the COVID restrictions. However, the equipment associated with the coffee business can convey with the building if the new owner chooses. The owners hear from locals & out of towners how unique, quaint and charming the Steeple Gallery is & how lucky Monticello is to have it. Call for your private showing. Then let your imagination go - the building could be home to your new business adventure!!
