Property Description

Seller is no longer accepting offers -- 09.26.24. One of Baltimore's most iconic churches, Mt. Vernon Place United Methodist, is being offered for sale. Built in 1872, this beautiful Norman-Gothic house of worship is located in the heart of Historic Mt. Vernon -- adjacent to the Washington Monument and across the plaza from the Peabody Institute. The church is approximately 24,000+ SF over three levels. The ±900-seat main sanctuary boasts a balcony, handcrafted pews, ornate stained-glass windows, and an elaborate ceiling and plasterwork. The organ is an MP Moller Opus R-524, with 2600 pipes, installed in 1956 (needs servicing). Behind the sanctuary is the chapel, with seating for ±40, a small kitchen, storage, a meeting room/classroom, and a large meeting space, currently used for worship. On the upper level is Davis Hall, a large multi-purpose room with balcony -- seating capacity of ±250. In the lower level is a full-size fellowship hall, currently built-out as a child care facility (which would require the installation of sprinklers should a daycare wish to operate there in future). There is also a large commercial kitchen, meeting space, and storage. Heat is provided by a boiler; cooling includes ceiling fans and window units (no central air). Recent repairs include plumbing and slate roof; the property suffers from deferred maintenance, and will require a certain amount of repair and maintenance work. As a component of the purchase price -- which has been significantly reduced -- the purchaser will be asked to accommodate a lease allowing sufficient area for the Mt. Vernon Place United Methodist congregation of ±25 to hold weekly worship, and maintain a Pastor's office. The lease term will be 7 years, with 7 renewal periods (each 7 years). Additional details are available upon request. This is a sale only: there is no option to lease. The church is a nationally-registered historic site, part of the Mt Vernon Historic District; exterior alterations are not permitted. The property is zoned OR-2. It would be highly unlikely that a developer would be permitted to repurpose the property for residential or most commercial uses. The seller makes no representation regarding condition, zoning, or use.
