A Church In Nova Scotia Was Transformed Into A Heavenly Home & Now It Costs Just $330K

You'd be truly blessed to live here!
Managing Editor, Canada

Holy Moly! Ever dreamed of living in a renovated church, without having to do any hard work? This extraordinary house for sale in Nova Scotia could be just what you’ve been looking for. In 1878, this place was a huge church, and now it’s an incredible home like no other.

Stop what you’re doing and prepare to be amazed. Located in the Granville Ferry region of Nova Scotia, this glorious home is as unique as they come.

Built as a church over 100 years ago, this building has been transformed into a modern, heavenly home.

Fully equipped with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, this space functions as a normal family home, with a few special features that make it truly extraordinary.

The real estate listing describes this place as an “impressive beacon of the landscape and a showcase of Gothic Revival Architecture,” and it’s not hard to see why.

While the church has been transformed into a modern property, it still pays homage to all aspects of its previous life.

The building still has its original tower and spire, with gothic, arched windows and a “steeply-pitched gable roof.”

To welcome you inside, there’s a huge custom doorway. Upstairs, you’ll discover the fully renovated main living area, which utilizes the original hardwood flooring and “soaring” 22-foot ceilings.

The listing describes this area as a “colossal open-concept entertainers dream,” and it features a central kitchen with copper countertops and several huge, custom windows.

If the masterfully decorated main space wasn’t enough, there’s also a room in the church tower that's just waiting to be converted into an office or yoga space.

The most fascinating part of this home has got to be the two-ton bell, which was created way back in 1857. According to the listing, the huge bronze bell is still fully functional and “continues to ring proud.”

Outside, you can enjoy a gorgeous landscaped garden, complete with cherry and apple trees, currant plants, a raspberry patch, and more.
