First Time on the Market – Iconic Brick Church with Parsonage in Scenic Stratford Hills
The Gaulden Group is pleased to bring to the market 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 utilized for overflow seating. Designed for both reverence and function, the building boasts a large fellowship hall/cafeteria that seats 50 or more people with a commercial-grade kitchen. The church boasts a vibrant youth ministry wing (complete with band stand, kitchenette, and game area), and over 24 spacious classrooms, offices, and meeting rooms—some equipped for early childhood programs with toddler-sized sinks and toilets. Upgrades include a 2 to 3-year-old roof and a 5-year-old HVAC system serving the whole right wing of the property. The educational wing HVAC is partially functioning, with probable repairs needed for full functionality. 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.
