Description

Unique opportunity to own a historic 1936 church property with the potential to become a one-of-a-kind residence, retreat, gathering space, or continue its legacy as a place of worship. Located in a Rural Residential (R-R) zoning district, this property offers flexibility for a variety of future uses, including residential conversion, subject to applicable permits and approvals. The building’s charming country-church architecture, complete with a covered front porch, white vinyl siding, and metal roof, creates a nostalgic setting reminiscent of a simpler time. Inside, the main level features a welcoming foyer, two half bathrooms, a spacious sanctuary with traditional pew seating, a raised platform area, sound system controls, projector and screen, and additional rooms that could easily be reimagined as bedrooms, offices, living areas, or storage space. A piano will convey with the property. The full basement offers both interior and exterior access and includes multiple partitioned rooms that were previously utilized for Sunday school classes and study groups. With painted concrete floors and block walls, the lower level provides substantial space for storage, workshops, recreation areas, or future expansion plans. Outside, the property offers gravel parking areas on both sides of the building, an older picnic shelter situated on a concrete pad, and a peaceful stream bordering the southern property line. Historical information suggests additional homes once existed on the property, which may be of interest to buyers exploring future development possibilities. For buyers seeking a unique residential project, the existing layout and structure provide an excellent canvas for conversion into a distinctive home with character and history. For religious organizations or community groups, the property may continue to serve as a place of worship through the applicable special use permitting process with the local jurisdiction. Whether your vision is a custom residence, private retreat, community gathering space, or the continuation of its longstanding role as a church, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while creating something truly special for the future.
