Modern Style Church Condo Conversion

Greeneyedlady21 — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 14:35:49 GMT

It used to be a Baptist church in Boston, converted to nine condo units. This unit is on the market for $3,150, 000. About 2,500 square feet. Three bedrooms, three full bathrooms.

I love church conversions, I've always thought they are unique and so attractive. Especially the windows. This unit is so modern that the windows and the exterior seem to be the only signs of a church. And of course the high ceilings . Takes away from that feel for me, but it's still beautiful. I love the exterior.

Not for me. Wouldn't want to live with those windows, but, that staircase is gorgeous. Beautiful space. I love white.

ITA with you about churches. They are so unique and love when people convert them. There is an old church that I drive by a lot where I live. Windows are boarded up and its been empty many years. Wish I could afford to move it and redo it. That would be so awesome to me.

This one is so gorgeous!

Love it - just enough church left so you'd know its origin, but not so much that would interfere with a daily life - and certainly far better than just razing such wonderful space in my mind.

Too bad we don’t need the church.

What a perfect home for a family! It's gorgeous and offers plenty of room. I'd love to live there and would appreciate all its historical significant, yet enjoy the modern amenities.

ETA: It needs a black baby grand piano!!

I too like residential spaces created out of non-residential buildings... These are marvelous spaces, though I don't care for much of the decor... I'd not have opted for the sleek and modern, but it's done nicely...

At one time, there was a tv show where they buildings that were converted into family homes. I loved it. I would like to be able to find an affordable church that was vacant and renovate, but I would not have winding stairs. They really scare me.

Hopefully the Baptists are meeting at a different location.

Many times laws change, tax rules change, insurance requirements change.

Hard to keep a big old church like that

@software Yes, this church moved to a suburb that isn't far from Boston

Beautiful pictures, but it doesn’t give me a feeling of home.

Modern is not my style but its beautifully done. I love old buildings with lots of character and seeing them converted into residences.

The space is beautiful but yet there is a coldness to it.It doesn’t look cozy to me. I can’t pinpoint it exactly but something is missing.

I’m not a modern fan but this is nice yet a little cold. . I love the windows.

Nope, not for me. I've always wanted to do a small chapel or school house reno to a residence but it wouldn't look like this one.

Tacky fake fireplace, never liked the gray/white kitchen/baths and feels cold.

Nice idea, but it looks too modern, stark and cold. Too much white. It doesn't look warm and inviting. Not for me.
