Old Village treasure on the National Historic Registry. This beautiful home is located on the corner of Hibben and Bennett Streets--one of the most prominent corners in the Old Village of Mount Pleasant. This wonderful structure was converted from a church to a home in 2005 and has undergone two extensive and complete renovations utilizing the services of Beau Clowney for design and Daly and Sawyer for construction/renovation. The main home is approximately 3850 sq ft while the separate guest suite is 1500 sq. ft. The structure is noted to be of the Eastlake architectural style, which is unique in the southeast. It has distinguishing Gothic features incorporated from the great cathedrals of Europe. This home is beautiful with abundant amounts of natural light cascading throughout theinterior as well as having soaring ceilings with open trusses and gleaming antique heart of pine flooring. Enjoy an entry foyer complete with the original church bell that was donated to the structure in 1902 by the Hibben Methodist Church. What was once the sanctuary now serves as the main living area and delineated into multiple areas to include foyer, living, dining, kitchen, breakfast and powder room. The magnificent kitchen overlooks the courtyard and is complete with high end stainless appliances, stone surfaces and plenty of storage. There is also a handsome fireplace which can be viewed and enjoyed from all angles. Additionally from this open area, is a two sided staircase that leads to an library loft overlooking the multiple living areas. On the other side is a separate den with pocket doors that overlooks the kitchen and back garden. Attached to this living space is a second structure that has three en suite bedrooms. The master bedroom is very special as it overlooks the back garden. It has a gorgeous bathroom, sitting room and multiple closets. The other two en suite bedrooms are nicely sized with walk in closets. Additional to this property is a separate en suite guest suite of 1500 sq ft. This beautiful and private space is thoughtfully created and has a bedroom complete with luxurious bath and large walk in closet. Additional comforts of this area include living room, wine cellar, open area for dining and a fabulous commercial kitchen. The lot is beautifully landscaped by the well respected Sheila Wertimer for maximum privacy and there are beautiful garden rooms, a full front porch, and rear patio for great outdoor living! Truly, this home is exceedingly special! Be the new owner that continues its history as a sanctuary for living and and entertaining!
