Converted churches, though rare, are a hot ticket item on the real estate market. They can range from kooky to downright stunning, and a newly listed church turned house in St. Louis, Missouri definitely falls into the latter category.

The six-bedroom, eight-bathroom home is listed for $1.3 million and has all the saintly features that make a church regal, but with the modern touch of a chic California mansion.

“This one-of-a-kind, masterfully restored historic gothic church is located within walking distance of the beautiful Clifton Heights Park,” the listing on Zillow.com says. “Upon entering the home, the original stained glass, custom woodwork and grand stairwell of the sanctuary will leave you awestruck.”

Features in and around the 7,866-square-foot residence include:

  • Chef’s kitchen

  • Floor heating in the bathrooms

  • Views

  • Hot tub on the bell tower

  • Hobby room

  • Patio

  • Gardens

The heavenly home caused a stir on Zillow Gone Wild, a popular Facebook page that highlights unique houses for sale around the country. People were simply befuddled by its transformation.

“This is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen,” someone gushed. “I love every single thing about it.”

“One of the best church conversions I have seen. Usually they are just too cavernous with too many awkward spaces but this is really well done,” one person said.

“Wow this makes me so mad I didn’t win the lottery yet!” someone commented.

“I love this! Great use of space (way better than tearing it down), beautiful outside space and amazing view,” another noted.

“I just got real estate whiplash as I clicked through!” one person said.

“I need this house. I also need a million dollars,” someone joked.
