** Seller has accepted an LOI ** This large religious complex includes a sanctuary, chapel, social hall, commercial kitchen, offices, meeting rooms, and classrooms.
The first phase of the complex, built in 1979/80, offers an attractive porte cochere entrance, with security doors opening into a bright lobby, with decorative windows onto the reception desk and administrative offices.  Also included in the first phase is a spacious office ideal for leadership, a large multi-purpose space with a room divider, currently configured as a chapel and conference room.  Through the lobby is the social hall, kitchen, library, four classrooms, and restrooms.  High ceilings and custom clerestory windows make the social hall a unique and appealing space for ministry and celebration.  The fully-outfitted commercial kitchen can handle food prep for large functions, and includes a gas range, convection oven, grease trap, and preparation surfaces (the dishwasher requires repairs). Adjacent to the kitchen is an area originally designed for a walk-in fridge/freezer (now storage), and a loading dock with electrical hook-up for catering trucks.
Phase two of the complex, built in 1991, comprises 9270 SF and offers a spacious sanctuary, gift shop (currently storage), a multi-purpose space, and a large storage room.  What makes this worship space extraordinary is its expandability.  The sanctuary, as currently configured, seats 385 in stadium-style seating, and to expand the sanctuary for another 183 seats, simply collapse the first room divider.  To expand for an additional 402 seats, collapse the second room divider. At the height of its use, the sanctuary was regularly expanded to encompass the multi-purpose room and the social hall -- creating seating for just under 1000.
Property HVAC is electric forced air heat/AC; supplemental window units, and through-the-wall units. Two roof units are non-operational. In the original part of the building, there are three units serving the social hall; one is non-operational. The kitchen was not built to include AC or heat, with the expectation that when in use the large kitchen fan would be in use, and drawing from the AC or heat from the social hall. The rabbi‘s office has two through-the-wall units. The office suite has heat, but the central AC is not operating. There is a window unit in the larger office, and open doors allows AC to circulate from the unit serving the chapel and conference room. In the newer part of the building, there is one unit serving the Sisterhood Hall and restrooms; and there are two units serving the sanctuary. The flat roof is TPO with regular repairs where needed; and there is a newer EPDM replacement on the sanctuary entrance vestibule. The original building has newer architectural shingles, and areas of three-tab shingles that were replaced this year in May. The electrical system comprises four 400-amp panels and one 225-amp panel. There is a sprinkler system and a state-of-the-art security system conveys with sale. Property taxes: exempt religious; water quality protection, and solid waste.
