Own a piece of downtown Aurora and position your business where the town gathers.

Prime commercial opportunity in the heart of downtown Aurora, NC, located on Fourth Street just steps from the Aurora Fossil Museum and the festival grounds that host the annual Aurora Fossil Festival. This highly visible location places your business in the center of community activity within one of eastern North Carolina's most recognized small towns.

The front building previously operated as an ice cream shop and still includes two commercial freezers, providing a head start for reopening as a café, creamery, specialty retail shop, boutique, or other small business concept. The storefront maintains classic downtown charm while offering flexible commercial potential to fit your vision.

Behind the main building is an approximately 46x36 garage/shop structure with large sliding doors. This expansive secondary building offers substantial storage, workshop capability, equipment space, or the opportunity for renovation and adaptive reuse. With its size and accessibility, the possibilities are wide-ranging.

Located less than a mile from the Aurora public boat ramp on the Pamlico River, the property benefits from seasonal tourism, waterfront traffic, and year-round local support. Known as the Fossil Capital of the South, Aurora draws visitors annually for its fossil heritage and longstanding community events.

If you're seeking an affordable, character-filled commercial property in an established small-town setting with built-in foot traffic and growth potential, this Fourth Street location offers both visibility and versatility.
