If traditional homes just don't do it for you, why not consider something with a little more soul? Steeped in history and offering no end of charming features, the Temple Church is packed with conversion potential. Nestled prominently on a corner lot in the historic town of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, this grand Gothic & Classical Revival-style building was completed in 1872 and has long been an important local landmark. Amazingly, each floor of the church spans a generous 4,185 square feet and features a dramatic main nave on the 2nd floor with a soaring cathedral ceiling, ornate timber accents, beautifully crafted stairwells and gorgeous stained-glass accented windows. The main hall on the 1st floor is vast and would be perfect for creating a jaw-dropping open-plan living space. Sadly, the property is in a state of disrepair and is in need of an overhaul both inside and out, including water damage repairs, a new roof, plumbing upgrades, and electrics. 200 amp construction power is in place, and the church is already hooked up to Municipal water and sewer. Despite its rundown state, there's much to admire...all it needs now is some love! Are you up for the challenge?
