Special Notes
Historic Church with Endless Possibilities on Two Lots!
Bring your vision to this one-of-a-kind historic property offering over 3,000 square feet and situated on two parcels, providing exceptional space for redevelopment, restoration, or continued use.
Rich in character, the stunning sanctuary showcases original stained glass windows dating back to the 1890s, beautiful woodwork, soaring ceilings, and architectural details that are difficult to find in today's construction. Whether you're dreaming of converting it into a unique residence, event venue, studio, community space, or preserving it as a place of worship, the possibilities are endless.
The building features 5 rooms, 3 bathrooms, a large sanctuary, an unfinished kitchen, two furnaces, and a basement, offering a solid foundation for your renovation plans. The current owner has already begun restoration and is including tools and building materials with the sale, giving the next owner a head start.
Located just two blocks from UnityPoint Trinity Regional Hospital and Dragon Boat Park along the Des Moines River, you'll enjoy easy access to walking trails, fishing, recreation, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, all within minutes.
The additional lot behind the building extends to the end of the block, providing abundant outdoor space for parking, future expansion, gardens, or other creative uses.
If you've been searching for a historic property, investment opportunity, adaptive reuse project, or a chance to own a truly unique piece of local history, this property deserves a look.
Property is being sold AS IS. Buyer is responsible for verifying zoning, permitted uses, and future development opportunities with the appropriate local authorities.
