Description
This stunning Gothic-style church, custom-built in 1948, is a true architectural gem. Boasting soaring cathedral ceilings and vintage wood beams, it offers a seating capacity exceeding 400, including an upper balcony. The property encompasses over 10 city lots on Oak Park Avenue and 19th Street in Berwyn, providing private parking for 46 vehicles, supplemented by ample street parking. Hand-crafted stained-glass windows add to its unique character. Interior features include a vintage pipe organ, a lower-level fellowship and dining hall with a large kitchen featuring commercial appliances and buffet-style counters, a large stage suitable for various events, several multi-purpose rooms, a worship sanctuary, private offices, a narthex, pastor's study, coat room, library, and nursery. Recent upgrades (2017) include a new roof and tuckpointing, and the building was fully painted the same year. A new $80,000 boiler system was installed in 2024. The lower level is climate-controlled with split heat pumps and a 75-gallon hot water tank. This exceptional property presents a rare opportunity for religious services, community gatherings, or special events. Its blend of timeless beauty and modern amenities makes it an ideal space for a new chapter.
