Hallelujah! Divine Townhouse in Converted Church in Washington, DC

An absolutely divine town house located in a converted church in Washington, DC, is on the market for $2.225 million.

In 2016, the 125-year-old Romanesque Revival-style church floated onto the market for $5.9 million. Soon after, redevelopment plans took shape. And now, the once-holy place now known as the Bell Tower at Stanton Park has turned into six heavenly homes.

The structure was originally built in 1891 by DC architect Appleton P. Clark, Jr., and its focal point is a 130-foot bell tower, now a common space for residents that offers views of the surrounding area, the DC blog Urbanturf notes.

So put on your Sunday best, and let’s take a reverential look around.

Featuring original and brilliantly restored stained-glass windows, the large three-story unit measures in at 2,545 square feet. According to the listing description, the town home is a 2019 DC Preservation Award winner, with “exceptional details.”

The open plan of the four-bedroom home boasts “luxury” finishes, a private elevator, and architectural details including columns and arches.  

The soaring, 16-foot-high ceilings in the main living areas open up the living space. And the high-end kitchen looks out to the living area, and includes a large island with seating.

In addition, the layout includes an office, built-in sound system, personal wine cellar, and floor-to-ceiling windows allowing the light to pour in. Plus, access to the bell tower allows “never before seen views of the city.”

Once known as “the lighthouse on the hill,” the prominent location provides convenient access to the capital’s Union Station, the United States Capitol Building, the Library of Congress, and the Supreme Court.

Nancy Taylor Bubes holds the listing.
