Extraordinary & beautifully unique church residence, redesigned by architect Bruce Wardell as his personal residence. The circa 1854 Mount Paran Church has been further enhanced & improved by the current owners - there is nothing like it! Step through the double doors into the vestibule and then into the soaring 16 ft tall wainscoted sanctuary complete with a loft and side rows of tall windows providing an abundance of natural light. Pressed tin ceiling and rich oak floors compliment the clean lines of the open interior floor plan. A separate "Sunday School" addition has 3 or 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Metal roof on the church & steeple. Private rear deck with hot tub & grill. Stunning Blue Ridge mountain views complete the outstanding bucolic setting. An excellent full or part time residence for a discerning new owner.
