Overview
Description
Wait till you see this converted church with dramatic cathedral ceilings, lofted living space, and a unique open-concept design that is fully updated in the quiet surroundings of Ketch Harbour Rd; here you will wake up to the smell of the ocean from across the street. Purchased around 2011 by the current owner, the property has been updated in 2 stages. First, the initial renovations converted the former church to a cozy, energy-efficient home. The property was rebuilt, capitalizing on the soaring ceilings to let you walk into this incredible open living space, with stunning finishes and a spiral staircase to take you to the primary bedroom in the loft. Recently, the renovation has been completed in the lower level, as the 2 bedrooms were added and a full bathroom with a custom shower. The home features a walkout, making the lower level a suitable area for an Airbnb if you add a kitchenette. This is truly a unique and special home for you.
