Wow! House Crazy Sarah’s heart goes all a-flutter when she comes across unique & gorgeous places like this!
This church dates back to 1883, and although it no longer functions as a church, it has been pristinely maintained as an event center.
Located on Citrus Avenue in Eustis, Florida, this old place of worship is currently listed for $773,500.
Located in the heart of downtown and close to the Riverwalk, this is the perfect place for weddings and other happy gatherings.
The property has been granted multi-use status which allows for a residential-business combination. Indeed, the listing says it has 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms so it could also be used as an inn or bed & breakfast.
Past the front double doors, the gorgeous blue foyer leads to the piece de resistance of the house: a soaring 30 ft ceiling main hall room with handsome original woodwork.
The stunning space includes a recently re-built stage, Gothic arched windows and cream-painted tin ceiling tiles.
The building offers 4,836 square feet of space so it is perfect for large gatherings.
There are three rolling shutters that open the space up even more to the gallery-like hallway.
Further on into the building is a modern kitchen area.
What is that above the cabinetry you ask? Books, books, and more books!
Encyclopedias to be exact – a whole lot of them!
House Crazy Sarah has never seen anything like this in a kitchen before, but she loves it!
This former church is now furnished with gorgeous antiques and historic pieces of art.
Look at this heavenly bathroom:
And check out this gorgeous room:
There is a lofty beauty to this place.
This looks like it is probably the Bridal dressing room when weddings are hosted here.
Wedding photographers would be in their glory here!
The elegant staircase leading up to the second floor reveals a spacious attic bedroom with two skylights, vaulted ceilings, and two closets.
Back outside, there is mature landscaping framing the beautiful church.
This would make a fabulous B&B, Inn, event center (as it is now) or even, a unique single-family home.
Absolutely enchanting!
