This house was once a Gothic church and goodness – is it breathtaking. Take a look
Homes that once were houses of God aren’t too uncommon in the real estate world. Take this “heavenly” residence in Illinois, or this mysterious stone estate in New York – both were converted from churches and into charming, livable houses that were listed.
But bet you’ve never seen one as spectacular as this London-based former Gothic church that is now listed for $6.7 million.
“The spectacular frame of a converted Gothic church in Kensal Green has been redesigned internally to provide a four-bedroom home of stunning proportions and volume,” the listing on Zoopla.com says.
“It spans over 6,000 sq ft, with much of the living space contained within a breathtaking central hall that opens onto an enclosed courtyard garden. Throughout, the grandeur and elegance of its ecclesiastic past is celebrated in the retention of wonderful internal arches and the ethereality of filtered light through soaring stained-glass windows.”
The quiet, spacious residence has a chic sophistication that is reminiscent of a high-end mansion in Los Angeles, with a stylish beige edge.
Features include:
Italian-tiled floors
Fashionable kitchen with concrete counter tops
Garden
Fireplace
Gym
Bronze staircase
Vaulted ceiling in the primary bathroom
Skylights
Stained glass windows

Nice on the inside, nice on the outside. A lot of church conversions don't seem very livable, but this one does. #SaturdayNightZoopla pic.twitter.com/x2DaB8wm7f
