About This Home

Ready to start your own business or expand an existing one? Then this gorgeous vintage property that once was a Church is perfect for you! Currently utilized as a unique Wedding Chapel and Event Center. Turn key ready, start booking your events immediately. We believe the original church was built in the early 1900's. Over the years, the congregation and previous owners maintained and updated this facility so as to maintain its original integrity and purpose. Some of the updates include: electrical, roofing, plumbing, 2 furnaces & central air. Stunningly beautiful original stained glass windows throughout! Vaulted ceilings, raised dais, full kitchen, serving area and dining area offers the ability to host a full service Wedding or other events in ONE venue! The second floor area boasts a bride suite so the wedding party can prepare for their special day on site. There is plenty of onsite parking as well as street parking. It is also located next to a village park. Easy access to I-75, M-33 and Old 76. 5 miles from Standish. There is an expansive storage shed as well. The possibilities are endless.
