214 W 1st STREET

Welcome to 214 1st Street W in the quiet community of Alida — a truly one-of-a-kind character home that was once a church, now thoughtfully transformed into a unique and inviting residence full of warmth and charm. Offering 1,448 sq ft of living space including the loft, this home features an open-concept main floor highlighted by a stunning 16-ft ceiling in the spacious living room. A cozy wood stove adds warmth and ambiance, creating an inviting focal point in the main living area.

The kitchen features custom ¾” Baltic Birch cabinetry with beautifully finished cabinet doors and plenty of space on the countertops. There is plenty of drawer and cupboard space, making it both functional and stylish. Just off the kitchen is a convenient laundry/storage room, along with a 2-piece bathroom on the main floor.

Upstairs, the loft-style primary bedroom overlooks the living room and features a walk-in closet and a 3-piece ensuite, offering a private retreat with a view. Custom wood finishes are showcased throughout the home, including railings, trim, and doors, enhancing its rich character. The basement can be accessed from both the living room and through the rear mudroom entry.

Heating for both the home and garage is provided by a boiler system. The attached 832 sq ft (2. 5 car) garage is fully finished with in-floor heat and insulated throughout.

Situated on a 55’ x 115’ corner lot, the property includes a fenced side yard—ideal for pets—along with a 12’ x 16’ front deck and additional parking spaces out front. If you’re searching for a truly distinctive home with character, craftsmanship, and versatility, this converted church is a must-see.
