Anglican Church centrally located just south of downtown in Stratford. Offering flexibility in potential development or repurposing options.  Nearly a half acre lot with over 100' frontage on Home St. &amp; 43' frontage on Brydges St. (164' depth off Home St).  Zoned R2. More than 4800 sqft of interior space over the 2 levels, featuring large rooms with clear spans and high clearance ceiling heights. The entryway features an elevator that services both the Chapel level up, and the basement level below. Parking for 10-12 cars under current configuration. Potential for severance of a residential building lot off Brydges, leaving a large remaining lot fronting on Home St. where the building currently resides, potential for multi unit residential redevelopment, commercial or institutional application.
