BACK ON THE MARKET ! What an incredible opportunity to own a piece of history! Formerly the St. John’s church, this property is zoned residential and occupied as a home. This property features 2 buildings on 2.5 acres just 15 minutes south of the Quad Cities offering over 3,500 square feet of finished space with so much potential to be a home, event center, or business! The church was built in 1919 and boasts a cathedral ceiling, stained glass windows, and beautiful woodwork. The church portion has central air and forced air heating, but does not have plumbing available. The rec hall predates the church and offers a foyer with a powder room, very large kitchen, huge 45 x 25 great room with a beautiful cathedral ceiling, the start of a large bathroom and walk-in closet, and a mud room. The rec hall has plumbing and heating, but no cooling. The property is being sold in “AS IS” condition. This is a great opportunity to own such a unique property at a great price!
