About this home

Originally built in 1900, this historic rural church with stunning stained glass, a beautiful brick structure, and church bell is ready for its next owner, bringing creativity and vision. Church, wedding venue, Airbnb, or home, this building has so much potential and charm. When you walk in, the main sanctuary is filled with stained glass, a large stage, and theater-style sloped seating. There is plenty of storage on the main floor behind the stage. There is an additional room on the first floor (11x18) and two bathrooms. Upstairs, there are three rooms (all 10x11) with original hardwood and newer vinyl windows. There is also a storage closet upstairs. Downstairs in the basement, this room was used for gatherings with a large open space (37x43) and an additional room (19x11) with outside access. The church sits on a .62 acre lot with mature trees and a peaceful country setting but also sets in a convenient location minutes away from SR3 and I69. Easy access to Fort Wayne, Marion, Bluffton, and Hartford City are all within 45 minutes. There is an LP gas furnace, water heater, sump pump, and well located in the basement. Outside, the roof looks to be in great shape, and there is plenty of room for parking with a gravel lot. There are numerous opportunities for this historic building- bring your vision to life with this endless opportunity. Motivated seller and immediate possession.
