Description
Dangriga, Stann Creek, N. Riverside St
This is a prime corner lot in the center of Dangriga?s main business district that includes a two-story, well-built and well-maintained building. The first floor of the property has been consistently rented to Government offices while the second floor has been a long-time residence. A new owner will be faced with attractive options including the possibility of operating a quality, view restaurant on the second floor.
The location is across N. Riverside St. East from the North Stann Creek River and one block west of the Dangriga Central Market. The property has eastern and southern views to the Caribbean Sea and the river with its frequent small boat traffic. N. Riverside St. East has the greatest amount of pedestrian and vehicular traffic of any east-west street in Dangriga. The Central Market, the popular Why-Not Island, Town Hall, Princess Royal Park, and Ramos Stadium are all reached via this street.
The 36? x 42? building was built in 1964 for a long life and has been maintained on a regular preventive maintenance schedule by an owner with a long history of maintaining mainland and caye properties. The first floor is concrete block, the second of hardwood from Belize Estates. It has an asbestos roof, treated rafters, and cabbage bark siding. The second floor wooden interior walls were all replaced two years ago. Every year the entire property is sprayed for termites and wood lice. Every five years the building is repainted inside and out with top-of-the line commercial paint.
The second floor consists of a living-dining room that runs the entire length of the building, three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a kitchen. There is an inside, covered stairway to a first floor entryway that leads to an exterior door and a door into the first floor office space. The east and south walls are almost entirely windows with panoramic scenic views.
