18 Cross Street, Brighton, VT 05846 - Essex County

An Island Pond staple since 2017, this turnkey restaurant offers a fantastic opportunity for someone ready to make this established dining spot their own or repurpose the space for a new venture. Currently serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the restaurant provides seating for up to 48 guests, along with take-out service. Located in the heart of town, it draws both locals and visitors year-round. With winter here, Island Pond becomes a snowmobiling hub, and the in-town access to the VAST trail network brings steady traffic from riders looking for a warm meal. All restaurant furnishings and equipment are included, making this a truly ready-to-go operation. Above the restaurant is a spacious 3-bedroom apartment with a private entrance, offering the convenience of living onsite or the option for rental income. The apartment features an eat-in kitchen, large living room with oak flooring, two enclosed porches, and a full bath with laundry on the second floor. Three bedrooms and a half bath sit on the top floor. The primary bedroom includes two closets and a deck overlooking the village and lake—perfect for watching the Fourth of July parade and fireworks. Another bedroom has an adjoining room ideal for a walk-in closet or office. Don’t miss the chance to own a well-loved local landmark with exceptional potential. Schedule your showing today!
