What the seller provided

BROWNS DIVISION OF BROWN CITY LOT 6 BLK 2 & W 14 FT OF LOT 5 BLK 2 Approximately 0.24 acres. Located in the Brown City Community School District. Commercial Land Use Code: 201. Corner lot with road frontage on both Main Street and John Street. This is an old church that has a lot going for it as well as a lot going against it. It's a beautiful building that unfortunately has a hole in the roof which has allowed water to damaged the interior for an unknown period of time. A good chunk of the building is in great shape but the areas that have been effected are in very poor condition. Most of the damage is focused on the side and back of the building. The basement and lower floor area are the worst but have concrete floors and walls so the remediation shouldn't be the worst. That being said it's going to take a great deal of work before this one is back in good usable condition. There is mold forming in the areas with water damage. Large sections of the drop ceiling in the basement and office area has collapsed. The basement area, bathrooms, and side office are the most effected areas. The main hall where service took place is in good shape and doesn't appear to have mold. It is full of personal property. High ceilings and stained glass windows bring in beautiful color with the sunlight. The exterior of the church has upgraded block on the front facing sections and regular block on the others. The church spire windows have been boarded but they look like storm doors. Nice concrete steps for the front entrance. There is also a side and rear entrance. Parking area on the North side of the property. Old boiler furnace. Water heater present but rusted. There are multiple fuse and breaker panels ranging in age and condition. Some vandalism in the basement but mostly just paint. Its a shame there is water damage because the shingled and metal roof don't appear to be in overall poor shape. There was one very visible hole in the roof about the size of a basketball. There were squirrels going in and out during inspection. This church is going to require a remediation due to the water damage but it is a beautiful building. The bones appear to be solid. It has a ton of potential but its going to take a bit of work to get there. This would be a great project for a someone in the remediation and renovation business. Please do your due diligence before placing a bid.
