Condo for sale in Pittsburgh was once a century old church. Take a look
A condo for sale in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is turning heads thanks to its unique background and gorgeous interior style.
Listed for $565,000, the two-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home is inside a former church named St. Casimir, “the first Lithuanian parish in the diocese” that was founded in 1893, the 22nd Street Condos website says.
“This church served the community for over 80 years. However, due to population loss in the South Side, it was no longer practical to maintain all of the South Side parishes as independent entities. In 1992, the South Side parishes were merged and the new Prince of Peace parish was created. St. Casimir church was closed as part of this merger.”
And now, the converted interior is nothing short of breathtaking.
“Step inside and discover a custom-designed living room brimming with historical characteristics you won’t find in any other property,” the listing on Zillow says.
“One of the unit’s most remarkable features is the preserved bell tower, now an exclusive lookout that delivers breathtaking panoramic views of the South Side and the iconic Pittsburgh skyline-a truly unmatched space to relax or entertain.”
Features of the condo, per the listing, include:
Two parking spaces
Gym
Guest suite
High ceilings
Wide spaces
Dramatic windows
The condo was featured on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page that highlights unique homes for sale all over the world. And fans were impressed by this jaw-dropping space.
“I’ve been in a couple church turned apartments in PGH. All amazing transformations!” one person gushed.
“This is the only church to home conversion that I’ve seen and actually loved,” another said.
“I like many of the features and the light that comes through,” someone noted.
