An extraordinary and rare opportunity awaits. The former Peoples Memorial Church, a well-maintained and solid 10,000 sq. ft. building, sits prominently on an 86' x 193' ft. corner lot at the heart of the historic village of Ridgeway. Since 1872, its 94 ft. steeple has been a local landmark, visible for miles around, symbolizing the charm and history of Ridgeway. For the imaginative and skilled buyer with an appreciation for history, the possibilities are endless. This property has the potential for a variety of mixed-use redevelopment, combining commercial and residential spaces while preserving the historic main sanctuary. Over the years, the building has seen thoughtful additions, from the Sunday school wing in 1910 and a basement in 1925, to a gymnasium in 1932, and a large kitchen at the rear. A creative blend of apartments, community spaces, and commercial ventures, all executed in a way that honours the building’s rich heritage and the character of the town, could make a remarkable contribution to Ridgeway’s future. The spacious basement, with its high ceilings, large windows, and abundant natural light, adds another 3,000 sq. ft. of possibilities. If you're searching for a unique, historic, and inspiring project, this property offers the chance to be part of Ridgeway's story for the next 150 years. Explore the potential, and help shape the future of this wonderful community. Buyers are advised to confirm zoning, permits, and servicing requirements with the Town of Fort Erie. (id:47423)
