Have you ever wanted to convert a church into a residence, bed and breakfast or school? This is your chance to make that dream become a reality! Just a few blocks from Detweiller Marina and the river, is this stunningly beautiful stone church. Built in 1897, it is a true architectural gem steeped in the rich history of Peoria. With over 9600 square feet of space, this building presents a myriad of possibilities for its future owners and offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a property with character and charm. Step into the main level where you will be captivated by the sanctuary with its cathedral ceiling, white oak pews, organ, and 45 stained glass windows that cast brilliant colors across the room. Beyond the sanctuary is a set of rooms including one that would work well as an office or bedroom. There are multiple entrances to the main level, giving it a functional layout for work or play before moving to the lower level where the current residence is. The lower level also has its own walk-out entry as well as interior access to the main level. The lower level consists of a large kitchen, pantry and storage rooms, office, 2 bathrooms (1 full and 1 half), 4 former classrooms currently being used as bedroom spaces as well as a central spacious living area for entertaining. Zoned R4, the property offers flexibility in its potential use. See also MLS#PA1247635.
