Description

Words from our real estate photographer, “It is neat and whimsical”. Are you into a unique home, something just a little different than the norm? A place that passersby continually comment on? A home that everyone knows just because it is so different. Then consider living in this 1940’s church, once the home of St. Francis Xaviers congregation, now a private residence. Let’s stay outside for just a moment, the grounds are magical for both the young and old alike. Picture yourself walking through a door, like in Narnia, to a magical land where you can pick up a golf club and chip a bucket of balls, then sit at a checkered table clothed bistro table and enjoy a glass of wine, then wander the trails of the acreage looking for deer, moose or wild turkeys and return to plant a garden and grow some beans. The inside vibe is just churchy enough that you know you are not in a regular home. Filled with light from the original arched-shaped windows. If you are the type of person who is in touch with the past, maybe you can still hear the chorus from the choir loft that is now the primary suite, echoing around the vaulted ceilings while you make your morning pour over in the bright kitchen. This place, for some reason, has a warm and comforting effect on you, like a big hug. Speaking of warm and comfy, on cool winter nights it benefits from a combination wood-oil furnace, which until you have felt that warmth, you will never realize it warms you to the bone. And in the blistering heat of the summer, a cool breeze is always present through the patio doors overlooking the perennial garden, if that fails, you always have the central air.
