Or convert the building into a two-story home with room for three bedrooms, two baths upstairs, and kitchen, dining room, and large high ceiling living room downstairs. Have a different idea? The cafe's 17' high ceilings make it adaptable to many uses: another business, a workshop, an art studio. The bakery kitchen can also be used for hunting/fishing processing.
