Think this house that was a former church is cool outside? Wait until you see inside
Converted houses that were once churches are no stranger to the real estate market, but one in the seaside town of Rockport, Maine, might be the most sophisticated for sale.
And it can be yours for $2.69 million.
The church was erected in 1875 and was converted into a stylish home around 1965 for the founder of Talbots, a well-known fashion company, according to Dirt.
The current owners nabbed the six-bedroom, 6.5-plus-bathroom house in 1998 and have been expanding it over the years.
The 9,500-square-foot interior is a holy blessing and offers up an abundance of sophistication and chicness.
Per the listing on LandVest, high-end amenities in and around the four-story estate include:
Elevator
Chef’s kitchen
Dramatically high ceilings
Three decks
Views
Huge study
13 skylights
Two-bedroom in-law apartment
Two garages
Houses that were ex-churches have been hot lately across the globe, and each comes with its own distinct personality and finishing touches, like this heavenly house in Illinois and this former Gothic church in London.
The listing is held by Joseph Sortwell and Terry Sortwell.
Rockport is about 80 miles northeast of Portland.
