About this home
A truly one of a kind residence! This remarkable former church has been thoughtfully converted into an expansive single family home while preserving the architectural character that makes the property so special. Offering over 5,500 sqft, the property combines historic architecture and modern comfort. The main level features an open concept living/dining area, and kitchen, along with a full bathroom, private office, bedroom, and dual laundry hookups. The opposite side of the first floor showcases the heart of the original church, a spectacular former sanctuary now used as an entertainment and gathering space. Soaring ceilings, a stage, balcony/loft, and original leaded & stained glass windows create an unforgettable setting with endless possibilities for entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a retreat of its own, with a private entrance leading into a spacious living area and full bathroom featuring an impressive oversized copper tub, separate stand-up shower, and electric fireplace. A separate entrance provides access to three additional bedrooms and another full bathroom, creating a layout that offers both privacy and flexibility. The third floor provides even more potential. Currently unfinished, this level has been laid out with a kitchen, bathroom, and living area, offering an exciting opportunity for the next owner to complete and customize the space to suit their needs. The partially finished basement adds another substantial usable area to the property. While retaining its concrete floors, the space is currently utilized for exercise equipment and recreation. It includes a full kitchen as well as separate men's and women's restrooms. Outside, the property continues to impress. Situated on a fully fenced double corner lot. It includes a newly built detached 2.5 car garage with an EV charging port. Thoughtfully designed to complement the original church structure. An additional parking lot located across the street is also included with the property. Words can't describe this property enough, this is a MUST SEE! Just steps from Masten Park and just 3 blocks from the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus
