This Sanctuary is 6,000 sq. ft. of space with dramatic ceilings, custom wood trusses, beautiful stonework, and striking stained-glass windows.Finished Lower Level is an approximately 3,000 sq. ft. basement with 10' ceilings, a full kitchen, and gathering/meeting rooms. The church sits on a 50 x 201' lot. The main chapel portion is gas forced air with central AC with additional furnaces for other parts of the building. Newer roof and flashing. Zoning & Potential: RS-2 zoning offers: continue utilizing it as a church, or reframe it as a community art center, performance venue, or live-work artist studio. The city has indicated they would not favor a change from the current zoning to any kind of multi-family housing. Being sold AS-IS. It could make a cool single family home. There is not a full bath in the church, just 3 half baths. The adjacent single family home can be purchased also, but is not a requirement.
