AMAZING opportunity to own a piece of history in much sought-after Landenberg on 2.5+ Acres. The main building on this complex is the 3 story St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church built in 1893 and converted into a residence in 1973. The original ornate tin ceiling, stained glass windows, wood floors, altar railings and confessionals were preserved. Added was a sunny first floor bedroom with full bathroom and washer/dryer, second floor bedroom and full bath, third floor bedroom, full bath and living room, enclosed living area, kitchen and a rooftop observation deck. A wall of windows on the back wall washes the grand main open space in natural light. Enjoy entertaining and quiet nights on a huge cedar deck overlooking established gardens, garden shed, post and beam studio and field stone walls. Also on the complex are three separate INCOME producing rental apartments. The duplex building offers two separate one bedroom apartments, each with 2 two full baths. The first apartment has a kitchen, living room, private deck and fenced side yard and a one car garage. The second apartment has a tiled floor sunroom, open floor plan kitchen/dining room, 2 story living room and a storage garage. Both apartments are uniquely designed, have washer/dryers, hardwood floors and skylights. The Sawmill building included on the complex offers a one bedroom, one bath apartment with kitchen, living room with exposed post and beam construction, hardwood floors, washer/dryer and ample storage space. The building also contains the original Sawmill space which has an enclosed office and workshop with open high ceiling, lots of light and a wood stove. Both of these spaces have many potential uses and rental possibilities. All apartments are currently rented and have an outstanding rental history. And there is more! An old post and beam barn was relocated on the complex and transformed into an amazing 2 story space. Ready to be made into a fantastic artist studio, retreat or another living space. It has electricity, propane heaters and septic and water lines have been run. This complex is truly special and as unique as the possibilities are for its next chapter. There are 2 separate tax parcels: 144 Landenberg Road (parcel# 60-05-0130 total tax is $5164.00) and 196 Sawmill Road (60-05 -0129.0400 total tax is $5,981.00) .
