2029 DANIELS ROAD, Ellicott City, Maryland, United States, 21043

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a house of worship in Howard County, where the inventory of religious facilities is low.  Perched on a hill that once overlooked the Daniels mill town, Gary United Methodist Church has been a fixture in the community for well over 100 years, and claims among its past congregants former Maryland Governor William Donald Schaefer.  The beautiful stone and brick complex was built in two iterations -- the Gothic-Revival-style chapel in 1879, and the modern brick addition in 1961, with kitchen, hall, and restroom updates in the 2005. The chapel includes an unadorned sanctuary with wood pew seating for about 200, and a 25-seat overflow room that functions as conference/meeting room when the oversized doors are closed. The mid-century addition includes a recently-renovated hall and commercial-style kitchen, ADA-compliant restroom, and ministry/classroom space, which can be configured into three separate rooms by accordion-style dividers.  On the lower level are restrooms, ministry space, storage, and a mechanical room. The building is served by a passenger elevator, fuel-oil heat, mini-splits, central A/C, well, an septic. The roof shingles were replaced about 15 years ago. Included in the 2.57-acre parcel is the cemetery (no longer in operation).  The buyer's only obligation regarding the cemetery is lawncare. The paved parking supports about 43 vehicles; bussing or other parking arrangements may be necessary on busy worship days. The seller has limited knowledge about the property and welcomes buyers to undertake a full inspection. The seller makes no representation regarding condition, zoning, or use.  Buyers are asked to address any issues during the study period.  The property will be sold as is; seller will make no repairs.  Owner financing may be available for a full-price offer. Commercial loan terms: 30% down, 7% interest, amortized over 20 years, 5-year balloon.  Terms are non-negotiable. This is a commercial sale. To schedule a tour, please have your real estate professional book through ShowingTime.  There is no option to lease the building -- sale only.
