Public Remarks: For lease only and not for sale - Step into Bismarck's history with this beautifully preserved Victorian building, originally constructed in 1889 and long recognized as one of North Third Street's most iconic properties, which used to be known as the Frankly Scarlette Salon & Boutique. Featured in a 1987 news article celebrating its restoration, the building has continued to receive thoughtful care and updates while maintaining its classic Victorian charm.
Offering 3,817 sq ft of flexible commercial and residential space within the DC Core zoning district, this property is suited for a wide variety of business uses. The main commercial level provides an open, adaptable layout with excellent street visibility and true drive-thru potential—a major advantage for any café, beverage concept, or high-traffic service business. The exterior layout also allows for a future wrap-around deck, expanding opportunity for outdoor seating, events, or increased customer flow.
The property also includes a functional basement level featuring a break room, two laundry rooms, and ample storage space, offering valuable support areas for business operations or tenant use.
Recent improvements help minimize age-related concerns. The roof was replaced just three years ago, the entire property has been repainted, ensuring a fresh and well-maintained environment, and the air-conditioning and heating systems are professionally serviced every quarter.
A standout feature for any downtown property: this building comes with its own private off-street parking, offering rare convenience for customers, staff, and tenants in an area where parking is often limited.
The upper level includes a comfortable 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with a kitchen, brand new stove and living room—ideal for on-site living. The third-level loft includes a half bath and an additional flexible room suitable for storage, an office, or expanded living space.
