179 Main Street is located in Beacon's central business district. With its unusually wide sidewalk and historic neighbors, this "twin" building (circa 1870) is a standout on one of the best blocks in the City. Three generous stories high (each about 1250 square feet) the 3750 square foot building includes a basement, back yard, and convenient driveway access from Commerce Street. The retail space is ideally situated for foot traffic and could include use of the backyard and basement. The second and third floor one-bedroom apartments are larger than most 2–3 bedroom units in Beacon and, with the Main Street location, particularly desirable. Beacon's heart is a unique, one mile long, Main Street that is packed with things to do (restaurants, galleries, wine bars, distilleries, concerts, boutique shops, movie theater, yoga, gourmet store, and more) as well as home to the purveyors of what's needed for day-to-day living (groceries, dry cleaning, vet, post office, computer repair, etc.) Beacon's Hudson River waterfront (made famous by resident Pete Seeger's Clearwater Sloop) and its extensive trails and parkland are loved by residents and attract visitors from around the world. Last but not least, you can connect with New York City (or points North) via the MTA's Metro-North Commuter Railroad Line from the Beacon station.
