LISTING DETAILS
You will be awestruck by this magnificent Gothic brick church circa 1928. Formerly St Paul's Lutheran Church, it has been thoughtfully converted into a stunning single-family home with more than 4000 square feet of living area and a 1000-square-foot studio and stage. Fully renovated in 2003 by two local artists, this sturdy brick structure was painstakingly preserved while being adapted into a truly unique live/work space. From the moment you enter through the 4-inch-thick, 8-foot-high double oak doors and into the main sanctuary hall, with its soaring 40-foot-high cathedral ceiling, supported by 6 massive Gothic scissor trusses and adorned with 8 original Tudor Gothic pendant light fixtures, you know every effort has been made to protect the architectural integrity of this structure.
The first-level sanctuary hall currently comprises the main living area, including the living room, dining room and two bedrooms. The larger of the two bedrooms is in the former pipe organ loft, which overlooks the entire main sanctuary hall, which also features the original stained glass windows. There are beautifully preserved hardwood floors, which are oak on the main level and maple on the lower level.
The walk-out lower-level church hall currently includes the kitchen, family room, bathroom and studio. This level features spectacular 11-foot-high tin ceilings and is above grade on three sides, allowing for the rooms to be flooded with sunlight and offering on grade access to both sides of the building. The family room, just off the kitchen, accesses a beautiful and spacious side yard and garden area with a handy street-level exterior staircase.
There have been several upgrades to the building's systems in the past ten years, including three new forced air natural gas heating systems, a new roof and the cathedral ceiling insulation. There are two solar thermal units on the exterior back wall of the main sanctuary hall, which supplement the forced air heating system and provide additional efficiency. The property is zone R-2 residential two-family and has many uses allowable with a special use permit.
