Property Description
**Discover the Charm of The Old Courtableau Café in Historic Washington!** PRICED AT RECENT APPRAISED VALUE! Located at the central intersection of Main Street and West Moundville, The Old Courtableau Café is not just a restaurant; it's a piece of history. Recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, this captivating building features original antique pier and beam construction that dates back to the early 1800s, a time when steamboats ruled the waterways and Washington was the key port between New Orleans and St. Louis. The property was thoughtfully renovated in 2017 by its current owner, preserving its authentic charm while incorporating modern amenities. You'll be enchanted by the delightful antique ''wavy glass'' window panes that provide a picturesque view of the charming Main Street scene. Currently functioning as The Old Courtableau Café, this gem offers patrons a chance to relish home-cooked meals while soaking in the nostalgic ambiance of days gone by. As the sun goes down, the café comes alive--a favorite gathering spot for locals and visitors alike, with live music and the spirit of a Cajun fais do-do. Make your mark in Historic Washington, where rich history meets vibrant culture. Experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of this extraordinary town--you may never want to leave! Don't miss the opportunity to own a slice of history! Note: there is an unfinished second floor which could expand the available space as needed. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are not included but are negotiable with an acceptable offer.
