The property to be sold is a primarily brick-sided 16,649±SF Institutional/ Special Purpose building with 11,450±SF on the main level and a 5,200±SF of finished basement space. It occupies a 1.1± acre lot with 18± parking spaces at the corner of Florence Street (275± feet of frontage) and Fisher Park Circle (134± feet of frontage) in the historic Fisher Park neighborhood in Greensboro, NC. Two curb cuts provide access from either street, and street parking is available on Florence Street and along the edge of Fisher Park across the street. The facility, most recently utilized as a church, was built as a school in 1980 per the tax card, and renovated ca. 1994, and features a commercial kitchen, 6 bathrooms, 14 classrooms, and offices, a conference room, and other open areas suitable for a variety of uses. Also known as lot #203 Fisher Park, it is located in the Fisher Park Historic District, one of Greensboro’s most beautiful old neighborhoods, and adjoins the Central Business District, close to retail shops, restaurants and mixed-use and office developments. A portion of the new Greensboro Downtown Greenway bike trail is already complete just a few blocks away. When complete, it will pass by just a block away on Fisher Avenue, and will loop around the downtown area.
 
The property is Guilford County Parcel# 0001965, PIN 7864691674-000, and on some old records is referred to as 203 Fisher Park Circle. Because it is owned by a church, there has been no tax burden. The R-5 zoning allows detached residential uses of up to 5 units per acre, with church and school being allowed uses under the existing zoning.
 
Adjoining land uses include the scenic 12 acre wooded Fisher Park with stream, trails and a playground across the street, Baker Place, consisting of luxury garden style condominiums built in conformance with historic district guidelines at 412-420 Fisher Park Circle next door, Temple Emanuel Synagogue across Florence Street, the beautiful First Presbyterian Church of Greensboro, a Gothic Revival structure built in 1924, and single family homes to the rear of the site. Historic District Program Guidelines would apply for any redevelopment of the site.
