About 3974 Route 78
Welcome to The Route 78 Pub & Residence — a landmark property in the heart of Strykersville offering a rare opportunity to live, work, and invest under one roof. This turnkey restaurant and 4-bedroom apartment combine small-town charm, proven business success, and income potential into one exceptional package.
Downstairs, the established Route 78 Pub has long been a cornerstone of the community — known for its welcoming atmosphere, great food, and loyal following. The restaurant is fully equipped and ready for operation on day one, featuring seating for 100+ guests, an outdoor patio, and a beautifully crafted bar with hardwood floors and timeless character. The professional kitchen is complete with all the essentials for high-volume service, including a full cook line, walk-in cooler and freezer, prep and pizza stations, and a separate overflow kitchen. A walk-up soft-serve ice cream window adds a fun and profitable seasonal income stream.
Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious, updated 4-bedroom apartment that lives like a full-sized home — perfect for an owner-occupant, short-term rental, or long-term tenant. The unit includes an open-concept living area, modern finishes, a 3rd-floor bonus space, and a private primary suite with deck and walk-in cedar closet.
Recent updates include newer furnaces and central A/C (within 4 years) and a full roof replacement (approx. 12 years ago). The property offers multiple income options: continue operating the thriving restaurant, lease out the commercial space, live upstairs, or rent both levels for dual cash flow.
This property delivers small-town lifestyle, built-in business opportunity, and investment versatility — all in one. Also listed as commercial under MLS B1624606. Square footage is based on updated measurements at the time of listing
