346 Denison St Baltimore, MD 21229

Long a fixture in the community of Allendale in West Baltimore, this worship facility was home for many years to Friendship Baptist, who sold to New Fellowship Bible in 1989, with the most recent owner being Sacred Zion, who purchased the property in 2007 for $725,000. The seller is looking forward to having a new congregation breathe life into the property and establish a positive presence in the community. Built in 1928, the "L"-shaped house of worship offers 9672 SF of finished space on two levels. The sanctuary is located on the upper level, with access from Denison Street. At one time the sanctuary was configured to seat 400, and in its most recent configuration, it seats 340 in pews, according to fire marshal records. Newly-carpeted, the sanctuary has a large stage/altar area, a balcony, and new mini-splits for air conditioning. Also on the upper level is a suite of rooms including restrooms, a large multi-purpose room, two offices, and a space with a viewing window that could be used as a crying room or sound room. The lower level, which can be accessed from inside and outside includes a surprising amount of space. There is a large social hall and pastor's office, complete with restroom. The chapel contains a baptistry, disguised by a removable stage. The baptistry was not constructed with a proper faucet or drainage, so it will require some modification to be used according to modern specs. With the chapel is a multi-purpose room that could be used as an office, a crying room or meeting room, along with another restroom, an office/classroom, and a room that had previously been used as a snack bar. Recent updates to the complex include new paint, carpet, flooring, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. The roof is said to have been replaced in 2017. The building occupies a parcel of ±0.32 acres and includes 91 feet of frontage on W Mulberry and 150 feet on Denison. There is easy access to the major arteries of Edmondson Ave and N Hilton St. Street parking is plentiful, and there is paved parking for about 16 vehicles if parked valet style. As the building has been recently renovated, the seller intends to make no additional repairs (warranties on new HVAC excluded). The seller makes no representation regarding condition, zoning, or use. Buyers should address any issues during the study period. There is no option to lease the property; it is offered for sale only. To view the property, please have your real estate professional request a tour through ShowingTime.
