This refurbished 1896 church has many attractive features, which includes soaring wood ceilings, original stained-glass windows, original beadboard paneling, and the church bell still rings. The 26 ornate original stained-glass windows are trimmed with gorgeous woodwork. On clear moonlit nights the interior is washed in a soft glow. The living area is open concept and much of the church character has been preserved. Doors and light fixtures were salvaged from other period churches to ensure the design was historically accurate. The kitchen features custom cabinets from a local craftsman, newer appliances (2020) and a generous pantry. A large master suite features a walk-in closet. It is virtually a new house that was built within an old structure. New electric, plumbing, heating, AC, septic. .. .. .. .even the stained-glass windows were professionally cleaned and reglazed. Roof replaced in 2016. The owner spared no expense to bring this church back to life. Basement was wired, waterproofed, insulated, and painted.
