Description:

**Rarely available -- house of worship with a seating capacity of 550.**  The former St Rose of Lima religious complex includes a church with hall, plus a large detached rectory, a two-stall garage, and paved parking on ±1.04-acres.

The church, totaling 21,718 SF, offers a sanctuary, sacristy, two small offices, and storage on the main level.  Although the sanctuary seats 550 in pews, the seating configuration also allows for a more intimate worship service, by using the seating that occupies the front and side areas nearer to the altar.  The lower level of the  church was originally built as a second worship space, complete with an altar area, room for seating, and a sacristy.  The worship area has since been reconfigured into a hall, and three sizable classrooms.  It could easily be restored to a huge multi-purpose room, or further divided to create additional office, meeting, or classroom space.  The lower level also include restrooms, mechanical room, storage rooms, and additional ministry space.  

Built in 1968, of brick and precast concrete, the church has central heating and cooling, with water boiler, chiller and cooling tower serving air handlers and radiators. The building systems were operational when last used in early 2025. 

The rectory, totaling 8520 SF, was the former home of the priests who served the parish.  Built in 1920, the four-level home includes a main kitchen, living room, numerous offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, and an upper-level kitchenette.  The rectory, given its size and number of rooms, could be used for a variety of ministries:  administrative offices, meeting spaces, education, youth ministry, food pantry in the basement, and so on.  The rectory is served by a central boiler, along with split system units, and window A/C units.

Located in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Baltimore, the complex offers easy access to I-895 and Route 2 -- increasing the ability to draw members from surrounding counties.  The property will be sold as is. There is no option to lease. Some chattels will convey, but religious items will be excluded from the sale.  To request a showing, please have your real estate professional book through ShowingTime.  Proof of financial wherewithal will be required.  There is no seller concession.  Buyer should compensate its broker.  The seller has its own purchase agreement.  To submit an offer, please request a term sheet.
