Originally constructed in 1916 and thoughtfully transformed into a remarkable private residence, this one-of-a-kind church conversion offers nearly 3,800 square feet of finished living space while preserving the architectural character that makes it truly unforgettable. Approached through a timber-framed covered entrance, visitors are greeted by a dramatic two-storey stained glass window that hints at the extraordinary spaces beyond. The heart of the home is the breathtaking great hall, where soaring 18-foot ceilings create an extraordinary sense of space. The original sanctuary architecture remains a focal point, highlighted by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace and viewed from an expansive mezzanine overlooking the room below. An open-concept kitchen with sit-up bar flows naturally into the main living and dining areas, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or everyday living.The versatile layout includes multiple living spaces, dens, studios, and work-from-home options, offering flexibility for families, professionals, artists, or anyone seeking a home unlike any other. The fully finished lower level features oversized windows, a spacious primary retreat with walk-in closet and luxurious five-piece ensuite, a bonus room, recreation space, and additional bath.Extensively updated throughout, the property features modern electrical, plumbing, insulation, furnace, central air, shingles, and numerous mechanical improvements completed over recent years. Outside, private fenced outdoor living areas provide inviting spaces for relaxing and entertaining.Rarely does an opportunity arise to own a piece of local history that so successfully combines timeless architecture with modern comfort. This distinctive residence delivers character, scale, and presence that simply cannot be replicated. (id:4069)
