About this home
Prime Investment Opportunity with Incredible Upside! This rare R3-zoned property offers exceptional cash flow potential and endless possibilities. Featuring a large, beautiful church building and two single-family homes, all conveniently located near downtown and shopping. The church includes two separate restrooms with stalls and a spacious rec room, with potential for conversion to a rec center or 4–8 units (buyer to verify with city and county). The corner home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a fenced backyard. The second home features 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a bonus room, and an indoor laundry. Multi-structure properties like this don’t come around often — opportunity is knocking.
Midtown, located between Downtown Merced and UC Merced, is a residential and civic Merced neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a grid of mid-century streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around M Street near Main Street, where small storefronts, coffee counters, and local services set a steady daytime rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward postwar ranch homes, compact bungalows, and low-slung apartment courts. Merced County Courthouse Museum and the Merced Multicultural Arts Center add a cultural throughline close to the core. Applegate Park and the Merced County Fairgrounds frame the area with open lawns, event grounds, and seasonal activity.
