Property Description
12.14.23 Offer accepted, negotiating PSA. Positioned for a quick sale, the former Unity United Methodist Church, built in 1915, occupies the corner of Edmondson and N Stricker Streets, across from Harlem Square Park in West Baltimore. The church, which closed during Covid, has a long history of ministry and outreach in the community. The building is estimated to be 5600 SF on each of two levels. The upper level includes a sanctuary with seating for approximately 350, as well as space currently used for offices. The sanctuary has the original "statement" vaulted wood ceiling, and many of the original wooden fixtures, including pews and altar rail. The organ conveys and was operational when services ceased during Covid. The lower level includes a foyer, fellowship hall, offices, restrooms, and a large room that formerly served as a commercial kitchen and storage that supported the former food pantry ministry. The property needs significant work to modernize the interior and improve aesthetics. Recent repair work was recently undertaken to prepare the property for sale, including a new roof and gutters, along with plumbing repairs, replacement of interior plaster/drywall damaged by roof leaks, and removal of two "weed vines" growing along the Stricker Street gutter and the rear door of the church. There is existing A/C equipment at the rear of the building, but it appears to have been vandalized, and its condition is unknown. The building is heated by a steam boiler, which is currently unused. Though the installation date of the boiler was reported as 2008, there is believed to be a water leak in the building's plumbing lines, so the boiler is turned off. Chattels convey with the sale.
