Description:
Rare opportunity to acquire one of Reading's most architecturally distinguished buildings — a 7,041 SF Late Gothic Revival limestone and granite structure designed by George H. Sidebottom in 1913 for the First Church of Christ, Scientist. Listed on the Massachusetts Historic Register, the property sits at the prime intersection of Routes 28 & 129 in Reading's town center, just 0.33 miles from the MBTA Commuter Rail Station (Walk Score: 81). Seller is completing stone facade restoration prior to closing. Zoned S-15, the building accommodates a broad range of institutional, educational, and special purpose uses, and is a compelling candidate for residential conversion with potential eligibility for state and federal historic tax credits. Sited on a 21,175 SF lot with an estimated occupancy capacity of 270, the flexible interior has supported both church and fine arts school uses. Ideal for performing arts or enrichment schools, yoga and wellness studios, non-profit or civic organizations, professional associations, or a high-quality residential conversion. Real Estate Taxes (2024): $10,315. Seller seeks occupancy through July 31, 2026.
