Immaculate! Jaw dropping one-of-a-kind historic chapel, converted to a residential home and event center. Walk into the welcoming foyer and the 'wow' factor is instant-- 24 ft high scalloped ceiling (original design), 10ft gothic windows, classic chandeliers, hardwood floors, massive quartz kitchen island and open concept living/ dining. The kitchen is an entertainer's dream with striking blue cabinetry, delightful backsplash, 9x11ft(!) island and high end appliances, including the 36in stove (also fitted for gas). The sizable wrap around deck, accessible on both sides, is perfect for enjoying coffee in the morning or sunsets in the evening. Gorgeous upper level primary ensuite with custom designed stained glass window. Frame was originally above the front door- it was saved and the stained glass designed and created by local artisans at Studio Renaissance. The high scalloped ceiling and hardwood floors carry throughout the primary, to the new gothic window overlooking the rolling hills and grazing cattle. It even has its own mini split to ensure comfort no matter the weather outside. Primary bathroom includes stunning tile work, an oversized glass shower, quartz countertop and dual sinks. The basement boasts even more space! 2 additional sizable bedrooms, full bathroom with deep soaker tub and a family room with ample space for a home office, gym or gaming area. Beautiful, low maintenance flooring, laundry, storage and a walk-out to the backyard paver patio round out the lower level. Poured concrete foundation (from when the chapel was moved in 2000), ALL NEW (2021/22) plumbing, electrical, septic drain field, insulation (including between main floor and lower level and foam in basement and steeple), deck, paver patio and professional landscaping. Complete renovation and remodel to enhance the natural beauty and breathe life and functionality back into this incredible building. 1 minute to Forest Hills golf course, 5-10 minutes to downtown Detroit Lakes, restaurants, multiple lakes (including Big Detroit and Big and Little Cormorant) and the mile long public beach. This home was designed to maintain the integrity of the original building, add flow and function for everyday living, plus serve as the ultimate gathering place for those that like to entertain. High end craftsmanship throughout-- from the 7in base trim, the hand milled newel posts (repurposed original douglas fir floor beams) and window trim to the African hardwood ceiling. With the natural light flooding in and the heartfelt touches throughout, this home just feels good! Countless hours, endless love and a focus on high end detail saved the chapel. Now it's time for the next person to love and cherish it. Since the remodel, it has functioned as a short and long term rental as well as an event center. It could continue to serve in this way, a primary home, a store front or office. The opportunities are endless- art studio, showroom, retail space... The epitome of versatility!
