Property Description
A truly rare offering, a historic Church built by master craftsmen. This property is available now in Brady, Tx. known throughout the state as “The Heart of Texas”. The property has two buildings which are located on a full city block that provides frontage on four streets.
The main building has three floors. Working our way up, the full basement level is partitioned into separate rooms allowing for assorted uses. A full kitchen with separate work area, large dining area, and storage is its current use, but there is also a small stage with large capacity for seating directly in front of it. On the main floor is the sanctuary, with twenty two beautiful stained glass windows. The ceiling is solid wood with heavy beams reinforced by large iron braces. A beautiful altar area runs the full width of the church, and is accessed by three steps up which also run the full width of the altar. A baptistry with entrances from both sides is located behind the altar and hidden from view by curtains when not in use. The entire main floor is carpeted, and the wooden pews all have seat and back cushions. A large balcony with seating overlooks the sanctuary. The electronic equipment for videos and music is operated from this area.
Also on this main floor is the Pastor’s office, a secretary’s office, a communion room, and a meeting room with a gas fireplace. Square footage on this ground level alone is approximately 4,320 square feet.
The second building, used as the Education building, has 7 classrooms, a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, an office, and a 30 x 22 or 660 square foot meeting room. It has about 2,890 square feet total. Both buildings have stucco exterior and are in excellent condition.
One of the newer HVAC units still has 8 years of warranty left, and the roof on the main building is also still under warranty. Both buildings and the grounds have received meticulous care over the years. The grounds include a parking lot.
This church has many appealing architectural features. It was built in 1927. It boasts an elevator for those who may no longer care to take the stairs. A magnificent sounding bell still sits atop the belfry. At the front of the church is a beautiful “perfect for wedding pictures” set of steps. Iron railing is installed on both sides of said steps as well as railing up the middle allowing for traffic to flow up one side and down the other. Above the wood and iron double entry doors, is a magnificent, large stained glass window.
