This Tamaqua landmark presents an wonderful opportunity for the next owner. Located in within walking distance of downtown attractions, schools and the community college. The property offers three levels of mixed use. The lower level was once a take out shop. Much of the equipment remains. The main level is a working ice cream parlor that has ample seating and restrooms. The ice cream business and most of the equipment will convey with the sale. As an added benefit to the main floor there is a commercial grade kitchen as well. The top level is the residence portion of the building. This level has three large bedrooms, a fulll bath, and a large closet/laundry room. Two balconies for relaxing and enjoying the views. The cherry on top is the lockout tower. From this room you can see for miles in most directions. The address falls into the CRIZ for Tamaqua (City Revitalization and Improvement Zone). This unique program helps Tamaqua reinvest state tax dollars into underused properties, encouraging new development, supporting local business growth, and creating jobs.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
