From Sacred Space to Statement Living ⛪➡️🏡

This isn’t just a home—it’s a transformation story.

Built in 1866 in striking Gothic Revival style, this former church has been reimagined into a nearly 9,000 sq ft living space that feels both dramatic and surprisingly livable.

Architecture That Still Speaks

The soul of the original church remains:

• Towering brick façades
• Original stained glass windows filtering colored light
• Soaring interior volumes you simply can’t replicate in modern homes

It’s the kind of space where every room feels like a cathedral moment.

Interior Experience

Despite its scale and drama, the home balances comfort:

• 5 bedrooms / 6 bathrooms
• Large, open living areas perfect for entertaining
• Unique architectural lines and ceiling heights
• A layout that blends character with usability

Income Potential 💰

This property isn’t just visually unique—it’s financially flexible:

• Divided into three separate living spaces
• Currently used as short-term rentals (Airbnb)
• Option to:
✔ Live in one unit
✔ Rent the other two

Outdoor Bonus (Rare for This Type)

• Private yard—a rarity for converted urban properties
• Potential for 4 private parking spaces
• A quiet retreat despite being in the city

Location Advantage

Close to some of the city’s most notable spots:

• Findlay Market
• TQL Stadium
• Downtown Cincinnati amenities

Financial Edge

👉 Tax abatement through 2032
Meaning significantly reduced property taxes for years—huge for an investment-minded buyer.

The Reality

This is not a typical home.

It’s for someone who wants:
✔ A conversation piece property
✔ A hybrid home + income investment
✔ Architecture that simply cannot be duplicated today
