887 Stafford Rd, Storrs, CT 06268

Opportunities Abound! A rare opportunity to own a very special building. Built circa 1935 this stone church is a local icon. Conveniently located at the intersection of Route 32 and Route 275 (Stafford Rd and South Eagleville Rd) it is just two miles from the UConn campus and the Storrs Downtown. Entering the front doors you'll find yourself in a small vestibule with double doors entering the main church. Two rows of pews, one on either side of a main isle comprise the main portion of the building (19 pews per side). A raised altar area with a curved back sits at the end of the isle with a fire exit door to the left and a small office to the right. Above the entrance at the opposite end of the church from the altar is the choir loft. There is a full, walk-out basement with windows below, forced hot-air heating, newer roof and lots of parking. Property does not currently have a well or septic system, but does sit on 1.8 acres of land. For the right buyer with the right vision, this could be a stunning residence. Testing has been done and both a septic and a well can be installed on the site, approximate cost for both would be about $30,000. Between the stonework, the woodwork and the windows, this is one that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Taxes will need to be verified with the town, currently exempt.
