Listing broker remarks

A rare opportunity to acquire two neighboring properties, offered together on separate lots, in a desirable Pittsfield neighborhood. The former Pilgrim Holiness Church presents a distinctive space filled with character and exciting possibilities for adaptive reuse, creative pursuits, community-oriented activities, or future redevelopment. Next door, the former rectory is a well-maintained Cape offering comfortable living space and the potential for rental income, an owner's residence or on-site accommodations. Together, these properties create a compelling investment package with flexibility rarely found in a single offering. The separate lots add versatility for future ownership, use, or development strategies, subject to applicable zoning and municipal approvals. Whether envisioned as a live-and-work arrangement, an income-producing investment or a thoughtfully reimagined property, this unique Elm Street offering provides an outstanding foundation in a convenient and established Pittsfield neighborhood.Final and Best Offer 6pm 9/23— Engel & Volkers Wellesley
