The Place

A heavenly six-bedroom, four-bathroom converted church in the charming community of Iona Station.

The Details

This week’s home is a church conversion in the community of Iona Station, where the former Iona Baptist Church has been thoughtfully and meticulously converted into a modern, open-concept residence, complete with six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a large secondary or rental suite in the basement.

The home offers an impressive entrance in its foyer, where you ascend a set of welcoming stairs into the main living area of the home. The centrepiece of this property is the transformation of the former sanctuary. As you move through the front hall, you’re welcomed into an airy and modern space that comprises an expansive kitchen, dining area and living room. The space features grand, elevated ceilings and is filled with natural and colourful light that streams through the original stained-glass windows.

The kitchen itself features an incredible amount of counter space, a gas range, oversized fridge, a statement wood-beam chandelier and two of the incredible stained-glass windows. The open-concept space flows seamlessly, and the sheer amount of floor space gives you virtually unlimited options when it comes to layout and design.

There are six bedrooms spread across the main level and the upper floors, as well as three bathrooms. In many of these rooms, the property’s pious lineage is evident in the stained-glass windows and the thoughtful retention of architectural features. There are two flexible rooms on the upper level that would serve perfectly as a home studio, gym or office. The home also features a clawfoot tub in one bedroom, plus a shower-tub combo in another.

Think “church basement” and your mind might conjure images of Sunday School or neighbourhood association meetings, but here the lower level has been converted into a complete secondary suite, ideal additional family members or as a rental unit. The secondary suite features two bedrooms plus a bathroom, and comes with a full-sized kitchen and dining room, and its own entrance.

The home also has an expansive backyard, with a small porch accessible from the kitchen. The former church grounds offer loads of space for pets or kids and provides the ideal greenspace template to incorporate just about any outdoor recreational or gardening features. And with its location in Iona Station ― just a few minutes from Highway 401 ― both London and St. Thomas are easily accessible, and the beaches of Port Stanley are just a short jaunt away.
