I knew that this converted church wouldn't sell, b/c it's way too big, but it's so colorful. It's been placed back on the market after a hiatus and it's been 12 days so far. Once-abandoned 1906 church brought back to life as a home in Saint Louis, MO. 3bds, 6ba, 12,000sqft. Plenty of space to open businesses or rent. $3.95m (Zillow's est.: $3,778,100). Disappointed that it doesn't say that it comes furnished.
It has now become more of a Zen space.
The listing uses the word "curated," though, and sometimes that could mean that they're just taking care of the furnishings.
Love those chandeliers.
They removed the church railings and put in decorative stainless steel.
Very nice custom kitchen with the choir loft above.
Everyday kitchen dining.
Formal dining room with bar.
Large foyer turned into a little library.
Family room behind glass walls.
This bed looks like it rocks back & forth, doesn't it? There's also a mirrored ceiling.
Nice bath.
This bedroom has a modern fireplace.
Up in the loft. Love the chandeliers.
Large primary bedroom with a fireplace.
It has a very large bath with beautiful tile.
Stairs to the lower level. This is where it becomes an artist's dream.
Huge studio.
And gallery space the size of a museum.
It even has it's own entrance.
Can you picture this as the entrance to your own gallery?
I asked the @mcmansionhell Discord chat where in these great United States our next property should be from, and the result was...
Indiana 🥳
Modernist jewel surrounded by iconic Indiana floating-trees. Dubbed The House of Seven Foyers by the local architectural community, this home is a gaping cavern of openness and midwestern hospitality. 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 7 foyer, and the rest of the 7500 sq ft…eh, that’s up to you.
Guests are greeted by a modern yet charmingly traditional foyer. A space so open and welcoming they can glimpse the entirety of the first floor, as well as some of the second!

Kitchens on either end of the house!
The second floor foyer is bedecked in stately railings.
The House of Seven Foyers is the first home in the United States to be both a church conversion and a new construction.
