Property Description
A rare and extraordinary offering, this historic former Catholic church has been beautifully transformed into an elegant private residence where timeless architectural charm meets refined modern living. Built in the 1860s, the home showcases breathtaking original stained glass windows alongside sophisticated updates throughout. Inside, luxury LVP main floor, cozy gas fireplace, and a thoughtfully updated kitchen create a warm and inviting atmosphere. All appliances convey. The beautifully remodeled bath features a striking copper clawfoot soaking tub, adding a touch of luxury and character. The lofted owner’s suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with a walk-in closet, private bath, plush carpet, and additional flex space ideal for a home office or sitting area. The detached oversized five-car garage features newer vinyl siding, windows, and doors, providing exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies, or storage. Both the home and garage are topped with metal roofs backed by a lifetime warranty for added peace of mind. Outdoor living is equally impressive with an expansive Trex deck, elegant wrought iron railings, professional landscaping, custom lighting, and plenty of space for entertaining or relaxing. Enjoy views of the majestic Mississippi River from the front porch. This truly one-of-a-kind property offers a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of history thoughtfully reimagined for modern living and would also be a great AIR BNB!
