There's something truly special about stepping into a home with roots tied to a church-where history, craftsmanship, and a sense of purpose quietly linger in every corner. It's not just the architecture or the character; it's the feeling. Yet times are changing, and economic pressures are reshaping even the most longstanding traditions. Across many denominations, churches are increasingly making the difficult decision to sell their manses-homes that have long served as places of residence, gathering, and quiet reflection. These properties, rich in history and meaning, are now finding new life with owners who appreciate their timeless charm and the stories they carry forward.

Inside, the main floor features a spacious eat-in kitchen that flows into a generous dining area, an office nook, and a large, inviting living room-spaces designed for both everyday comfort & effortless entertaining. From the kitchen, step out to the side verandah or access the rear addition, enhancing the home's functionality and flow.The dining and living areas will quickly become the heart of your gatherings, offering warmth, space, and character in equal measure.A standout feature sure to impress is the 1997 oversized double-car garage, complete with a durable metal roof & pristine concrete floor-an exceptional bonus rarely found with homes of this era.A new survey is forthcoming, with the home and garage situated on approximately 0.73 acres of land.This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history-where charm, versatility, and modern living come together beautifully.
