A truly extraordinary transformation, this circa 1880 white clapboard Methodist church has been masterfully reimagined into one of Southwest Michigans most exceptional private residences by talented designer/owner. Behind its timeless historic façade unfolds an unexpected world of sophisticated design, where a meticulous, down-to-the-studs renovation honors the buildings heritage while delivering every modern luxury. The breathtaking, clear-span 4191sq ft interior is defined by soaring ceilings and expansive open living spaces designed for effortless entertaining. A striking state-of-the-art island kitchen anchors the home, complemented by a dedicated bar area and gracious gathering spaces that invite celebrations both intimate and grand. Six beautifully appointed en suite bedrooms plus a 7th or dedicated office offer an exceptional level of comfort and privacy for family and guests. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, creating a home that is as functional as it is unforgettable. Equally compelling are the outdoor spaces. Set on .55 beautifully landscaped acres, the grounds feature lush gardens, a sparkling pool, an elegant pergola, and an oversized two-car garage and a two-stall carport w/EV charger, offering a private oasis that feels worlds away. Ideally located in the charming village of Galien, just 8 minutes from Three Oaks, 17 minutes from New Buffalo, and 31 minutes from South Bend, this one-of-a-kind residence is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, exquisitely redefined for modern living. Fantastic opportunity to defray the cost of elevated living with short-term rental income! Furnishings, excluding art are negotiable.
