17 Union Street, Hallowell, ME, 04347
About This Home
17 Union Street - Back to market at a new, reduced price. Minutes from Water Street in Hallowell, this one-of-a-kind former church property includes three separate, fully detached buildings with plenty of off-street parking: The Main Church: an impressive space (~60x40) with original stained and rippled glass, high ceilings, and open floor plan. Ideal for a working church, event venue, gallery, or studio. The Chapel: a cozy, one-bedroom, single-level residence — great as a rental, guest house, or Airbnb. The Parsonage: a four-bedroom, 1.5-bath home featuring a modern kitchen with concrete counters, wide pine floors, and classic trim details. The property has seen major structural and systems upgrades: new roofs, foundation and framing repairs, updated electrical, improved insulation, and a dry basement. This setup lends itself nicely to owner-occupants, investors, or anyone looking for a unique live/work or income-generating opportunity. Plenty of space, character, and potential — whether you're looking to bring a new vision to the sanctuary or just need a creative investment in a thriving in-town location. 17 Union and abutting 4 Franklin Street are being offered for sale, together. Acreage is combined.
