Bring your vision to this distinctive former church building located in the Village of Gowanda. A unique residential project offering very generous interior space, character, and excellent potential for conversion. This property presents an exciting investment opportunity.
The building is currently in need of significant repair, including a compromised roof, and is being offered in its present condition. Buyers should anticipate repairs and improvements and are encouraged to conduct their own inspections and due diligence regarding the building’s structural condition, utilities, and code compliance.
Zoned R-2 (One- and Two-Family Residential District), the property has potential for conversion to a single-family residence or two-family residence, subject to applicable Village approvals, building and fire code requirements, and any required change-of-use permits or approvals. Customary home businesses are also permitted under the R-2 zoning regulations, subject to applicable requirements.
The existing church layout provides a blank canvas for someone looking to create a distinctive residential property, multi-generational home, investment property, or other permitted use. With its spacious interior and residential zoning, this is an opportunity to transform a former place of worship into something entirely new.
Buyers are encouraged to verify all zoning, permitted uses, dimensional requirements, parking requirements, change-of-use requirements, and other regulations directly with the Village of Gowanda Code Enforcement/Zoning Office and to independently verify that their intended use is permitted.
Property is being sold AS-IS. Proof of funds or appropriate financing/pre-qualification may be required prior to an offer.
