As a lapsed Catholic, I no longer believe in the religious part of what happens inside Catholic churches, but I still really admire their architecture, so I am a sucker for a renovated church that has been turned into a single-family home, and this one in New Orleans is right up my alley. It’s only $1.25 million, so definitely affordable 🙂 It’s got five bedrooms and five bathrooms, and offers about 5,000 square feet of living space on a 5,800-square-foot lot. It was built in 1917.
This is the view from what would have been the upper balcony or possibly the choir loft:
The kitchen incorporates the original altar-piece from the church, which was built in the Gothic Revival style and was used by a Methodist congregation for most of its life
