Your wildest and most special dreams live in this Converted 1890's Queen Anne Vernacular Congregational Church first known as "Strawberry Fields Church" by the congregation that began funding the construction in 1886 by selling strawberries. In the 1920's the parsonage was constructed which now sits as 2 separate converted spaces w/ 4 separate living units all with separate entrances & separate kitchen all w/ magnificent finishes and character. Property is zoned for both residential and commercial use maximizing this awesome potential. This sprawling storied property has been featured on HHG Extreme Homes and numerous other publications. Current owner - who is only the 3rd owner in this property's beloved history - transformed it into a showcase of museum quality Moroccan and world collections of doors, fixtures, finishes and treasures. Remarkable museum quality doors, molded lotus tin ceilings from an orphanage in OR in the 1900's, Douglas fir flooring from a local Portland Galleria, porch pillars made from historic horse drawn olive press beams, and dual bronze spitting hippo fountains, and a 2 story primary bathroom oasis in the converted old church bell tower are just some of the joys that await you. Owner shipped 4 containers of hand selected Moroccan museum quality architectural pieces which are now no longer available to the world, but adorn the space and show of the incredible potential waiting to be unlocked by the next owner. Transform this property into a glamorous restaurant, bed and breakfast, airbnb, artist compound, communal or multigenerational living compound, an incredible coffee shop or art gallery / museum, or back into a church, nearly endless opportunities! Eccentric primary suite includes a Juliet balcony overlooking the serenity of the private gardens and backyard where the mature trees and landscaping blossom and bring light/color and surprises year round.
