3974 Route 78

Welcome to The Route 78 Pub & Residence — a landmark property in the heart of Strykersville offering a rare chance to live, work, and invest under one roof. Now priced at $550,000, this turn-key restaurant and four-bedroom apartment combine small-town character, proven business opportunity, and financial flexibility in one exceptional package. Downstairs, the well-known Route 78 Pub has long been a community favorite — recognized for its welcoming atmosphere, quality food, and local following. The space is fully equipped and ready for new ownership, featuring seating for 100+ guests, an outdoor patio, and a beautifully crafted bar with hardwood floors and timeless charm. The commercial kitchen is built for performance, complete with a full cook line, walk-in cooler and freezer, prep and pizza stations, and a separate overflow kitchen. A walk-up ice cream service window provides an additional seasonal income stream and draws extra traffic in the warmer months. Upstairs, a spacious, updated four-bedroom apartment adds valuable income potential or the ideal setup for an owner-operator. The apartment features open-concept living, modern finishes, a third-floor bonus area, 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). From an income-and-expense standpoint, the ability to live on-site while operating the business creates a significant advantage and keeps overhead low. The Route 78 Pub & Residence is fully outfitted and poised for success — waiting for someone to bring their vision, energy, and ideas to the next chapter of this established local favorite.
