Martin Manor · Multifamily Property For Sale · 18 Units

Martin Memorial Hospital was originally built in 1915 as both a hospital and a training school for nurses. After a fire in 1953 it closed it's doors to the public. Fast forward to the present and the Martin Memorial Hospital has been renovated into beautiful apartments, that still keep the styles of the decades it thrived (with modern amenities of course!). The exterior of the building is made with beautiful light grey granite from the nearby quarry, which is the largest open-faced granite quarry in the world (one of the many great things Mount Airy has to offer).  The original structure had been added onto several years after construction and the “Nursing School” was built at that time as well. The Nursing School still stands and is located across the street and also made of the same quarried granite. Martin Manor Apartments has a long and storied past that you won’t find in any other apartment complex. This impressive quarried granite structure has stood for over 100 years and should easily survive the next one hundred...or two. Taken from a local quarry with walls almost a foot thick, Martin Manor was built to last. The current owners have recently taken the building through a complete renovation of all the units. The appliances have all been updated, paint, flooring, new bathrooms. The electrical system was updated so there is no knob and tube anymore. New hot water heaters in the basement as well. Martin Manor is located in the quaint town of Mount Airy, famously known for being the home of Andy Griffith and his adventures in the quaint fictional town of Mayberry. Living in Mount Airy, you can immerse yourself in the history of the show and take a step back in time. There are a multitude of attractions including a museum, a tour of the city in Andy's police car, and Andy Griffith's Playhouse.  There is never a dull moment on Main Street in Mount Airy! The city also has a thriving performance scene, from bluegrass and old-time music performances and festivals, to community theatrical shows throughout the town.
