An extraordinary opportunity for developers and big dreamers to renovate this iconic Gloucester property! Established in 1870 as Bay View Methodist Church, this property was converted to a residential space in 1971. The church has good bones and incredible potential! Currently, there is a 2 bedroom apartment in the back and massive, raw spaces 3 sprawling floors (approx 2400 sq ft per floor) ripe for transformation. Enchanting detail throughout like exposed beams, tin ceiling, stained glass windows, and an abundance of natural light. Ocean views of Ipswich Bay on the the south and west side. Just down the street from the Gloucester Marine Station, Plum Cove Beach, and downtown Lanesville. Sizable lot in back. Perfect for developers or creative souls ready to restore its glory!
