TRIPLE WIDE MANSION

At the turn of the Century, two grand mansions were gutted to give birth to an unparalleled church sustained by metal beams, boasting the grandest proportions: one illustration- the main room on the Parlor Floor, composed of a 50'x40' Ballroom with 24' ceiling and a whirling Mezzanine. This house features stunning Douglas Fur flooring throughout. This Neo-Federal architecture of red-brick and beautiful limestone accents and medallions stands out on this perfectly designed and typical “ Convent Avenue Vicinity ” block. Five remarkable double height windows face South onto the street. Located on a quiet tree-lined and park block, this exceptionally wide mansion invites lavish living for family. Its flexible zoning make it perfectly suited for a school, religious organization, or medical facilities. Additionally, this exceptional house is zoned as of right now for a 20,000 sq. ft. residential development and up to 12,500 sq. feet of community facility.
