Description: This repurposed Methodist church in Dallas has been impeccably transformed into a massive and beautiful single-family home. Like most churches it features soaring ceilings, stained-glass windows and expansive public spaces.
People love old churches used as homes, according to John Whiteside, the real estate agent showing this house. "De-sanctified churches are the number-one type of building converted to residential use," he said.
The altar has been adapted for use as a granite and stainless steel themed kitchen, in homage to the cooking gods. The choir loft has been rewired for a home theater. Many of the elements of the church remain, such as the wood ceiling beams and polished hardwood floors.
Some of the brick walls are exposed, imparting a warm quality to bedrooms. The master bath is quite spectacular, with a make-up table, double vanities and soaking tub.
There's a game room, laundry room, fireplaces, butlers pantry, music room and exercise studio.
