This unique 2,584-square-foot loft combines historic character with incredible flexibility for a wide range of business uses, an opportunity that is difficult to find anywhere else in Lake County.
The space features:
• Original hardwood floors
• Exposed historic brick throughout

• Private restroom and kitchenette
• Full-floor privacy
• Open-concept layout with flexible use potential
Located in the heart of Downtown Painesville, the loft sits above Sidewalk Cafe and is surrounded by local businesses, restaurants, community events, and ongoing revitalization efforts.
We would love to find a tenant who appreciates the history, character, and potential of this special space.
