About the Listing 95403 - 952431,950168

Where history and creativity collide this former country church has been transformed into a stunning 2-bedroom, 1 and a half bath home that offers unmatched character and charm. The moment you walk up to the red-brick exterior and steeple, you know you're stepping into something special. The 1865 original bell in the steeple is still there and intact. Inside, you're welcomed by vaulted ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and colorful stained-glass windows that flood the open living area with natural light. The expansive main level is designed with a flowing studio feel, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and showcasing the church's original architecture. The kitchen and breakfast nook offer plenty of space for cooking and gathering, while the cozy bedrooms provide private retreats. Two full bathrooms including one with a clawfoot tub combine vintage touches with modern convenience. Downstairs, the full basement nearly doubles the living space, featuring a large recreation room, additional bedroom, bath, and flexible rooms that could be finished out as a workshop, studio, or guest suite. Set against a backdrop of open fields and wide skies, this home offers privacy, peace, and an unforgettable story. Whether you're looking for a one-of-a-kind personal residence, creative retreat, or even a distinctive Airbnb/investment property, this converted church is truly one of a kind.
