An exceptional and rare offeringâ this stately, fully operational historic church blends enduring craftsmanship with outstanding future potential. With solid bones, elegant original features, and ample space across three expansive floors, the property is ideal for continued religious use, creative redevelopment, or adaptive reuse as a residential, event, or community space. Or all of the above simultaneously.

Every corner reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and timeless style. Beyond the sanctuary, the property offers unmatched functionality:

Two kitchens: A full-service kitchen with a walk-in pantry in Wesley Hall, Lower level, and a separate galley-style kitchen off the narthex in the Parlor for smaller, simpler gatherings plus the opportunity to reconstruct a third kitchen on the second level.

Seven lavatories, well distributed throughout the building for large gatherings or multi-use configurations.

Three spacious floors, providing room for offices, classrooms, meeting areas, or conversion into residential or commercial units.

The structure is solid, the layout is versatile, and the aesthetic is unforgettable. Whether you envision preserving its sacred use or reimagining it as something entirely new, this property offers a rare combination of architectural integrity and modern adaptability.
