519 Plum Street – 513 Plum Street

Property Description

A rare opportunity to acquire two distinctive historic multi-use properties in the heart of Downtown Macon.  The offering combines the expansive commercial space of 519 Plum Street, complementary loft/flex space at 513 Plum Street, and a private courtyard creating a unique platform for an owner-user, investor or adaptive-reuse developer.

519 Plum Street:  The 10,200 SF+/- primary commercial building offers an expansive open interior enhanced by 16’+/- ceilings, exposed structural beams and historic architectural details.  Its flexible configuration allows the dramatic open space to be retained or reconfigured to accommodate a variety of commercial concepts.

High ceilings, expansive open space and existing support infrastructure provide a strong foundation for a new owner seeking a distinctive retail, food-and-beverage, showroom, office, wellness, creative or hospitality concept.

519 Plum Street has a long association with Macon’s transportation history, serving uses connected with livery, horses and carriages beginning in 1911.  The property later became home to Huckabee Buick and ultimately the Emerson Ballroom.

513 Plum Street:  The 3,577 SF+/- two-story adjoining building offers a distinctive combination of loft-style living and flexible-use space. Completely built out in 2020/2021, the property features an open, contemporary interior with three bedrooms, multiple baths, generous living and flex areas, an eat-in kitchen, laundry/mudroom and ample storage. The building opens directly to the private, gated courtyard, creating a unique complement to the adjoining 519 Plum Street commercial building.

A private, gated and landscaped courtyard connects the two buildings and provides a distinctive outdoor amenity.  Artificial turf installed in 2021, mature landscaping and brick walkways create an attractive, low-maintenance setting that enhances the property’s flexibility and character.

513 Plum Street was formerly utilized as a storage garage/warehouse before being completely built out in 2020-2021 as a distinctive loft/flex space incorporating modern improvements. The entrance doors were salvaged from a church in Madison, Georgia, built in the late 1800s.
