I am trying to determine as a Real Estate agent who the target buyers would likely be. I know that with the square footage of a retired firehouse the first thought would be to look at other uses. Where would be the best places to market this to? It has been remodeled and finished as a single family home and is zoned that way. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated, as I would like to exhaust all avenues. Thanks in advance.
Obviously Firefighters, volunteers, and retirees. There are well over a million in the US. Also military vets, mechanics, gearheads.... then there are millennials, and hipsters.
Think about all the cool old gas stations and garages that have been converted. Now you upped the cool factor because it's a fire house.
The town I grew up in CA closed one of their firehouses and it was converted into a SFH. Its just a regular house now. The only way to know it was ever a firehouse is when one looks at the driveway with a very wide cut to the street. It is well made!
