The baptistry is located behind the pulpit, and has stairway access from the rear entrance foyer. On the lower level is a fellowship hall, nursery, three classrooms, and storage.+- Both levels include plenty of natural sunlight. Suggested+- improvements to the church would include updating restrooms and adding a warming kitchen.+- The house is a two-level cinder block structure with a large multi-purpose room and several smaller rooms.+- Although the roof was replaced in approximately 2015, the building needs considerable work to make is usable.+- The house is not including in showings, but can be viewed by special request.Because the property is+-+-2.14 acres, there may be the potential to expand the existing building, build new, or subdivide the land and create two separate building lots, which could be sold, should a buyer wish to attempt to generate income.+- There is an engineer mark-up included with the photos on this webpage.+- The markup is a concept only, and is not guaranteed or warranted in any way.+- Potential buyers should consult a civil engineer as part of their due diligence, should they wish to pursue subdivision.+- The seller makes no representations about zoning, use, or buildability.The church is heated with an oil-fired boiler, and the sanctuary is cooled via fans and window units.+- There has been a water issue in the lower level, where a plugged exterior drain in a below-grade exterior door would allow water to accumulate and, on occasion, seep under the door.+- The owner installed a sump pump, but sump pumps fail when the power goes out. A more reliable solution would be to cover the entrance with a canopy/vestibule/Bilco doors or to close it off completely.+- The property is served by public water and sewer, though at one time would have had a well and septic.+- Parking is partially paved and graveled; it is not striped.+- All chattels convey with the sale. Chattels include shed, pianos, organ, tables, chairs, nursery and classroom furniture, and kitchen items. Property sold as is; not available for lease.The property is ideally located for a congregation whose members come from a variety of locations.+- The property has easy access to I-95, Route 7, and Route 40.+- From the property's location in White Marsh, driving time from Rosedale is 15 minutes, Towson 20 minutes, Bel Air 20 minutes, Columbia 30 minutes, and Owings Mills 30 minutes.
