Property Description

A rare and remarkable offering in one of Richmond’s most coveted neighborhoods this classic all-brick church, complete with a split-level parsonage home, sits on a generous 3.34-acre parcel in the heart of Stratford Hills. Built in 1960 and offered for sale for the very first time, this stately church with a prominent steeple is a landmark of tradition, scale, and opportunity. The main sanctuary seats approximately 350, with additional space in the choir loft and around the altar for over 60 service members, or overflow seating. Designed for both reverence and function, the building boasts a large basement fellowship hall that seats 50+ with a commercial-grade kitchen. The basement also boasts a vibrant youth ministry wing (complete with band stand, kitchenette, and game area). The first and second floors provide 24 spacious classrooms, offices, and meeting rooms—some equipped for early childhood programs with toddler-sized sinks and toilets. Recent upgrades include a new roof and HVAC system that covers the whole right wing of the church. There are 10+ bathrooms throughout, a working elevator, and updated A/V systems in the nave and youth ministry areas. Outdoors, enjoy a peaceful courtyard, basketball court, fenced playground, and an expansive parking lot with additional front parking and signage visible from Cherokee Road. Included on the property is a charming 1984-built parsonage home—a 4-bedroom, 3-bath split-level that could easily convert to five bedrooms. Features include a first-floor primary suite, screened porch, hardwood floors throughout, two wood-burning fireplaces, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, pocket doors, a lower-level den, and partial walk-up attic storage. Stratford Hills offers the rare blend of natural serenity and urban access. Nestled among towering oaks and maples, the neighborhood feels immersed in nature. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a turn-key church property ideal for worship, education, nonprofit use, or creative adaptive reuse.
