Awe-inspiring home or breathtaking church!
Your prayers have been answered if you've been looking for a special premises for your next home, business venture, or passion project. Unlimited opportunities exist at the former St. Aiden Church at 15 Jenkin Street for you to transform an already spectacular property into something truly remarkable.
Not only is this property close to schools, SIT, and all life's necessities, but its residential 9B zoning gives you the freedom to utilise it as a home, business, studio, workshop, or something else. And the vendor's instructions are clear - this beautiful property must be sold come auction day.
A grand double-door entrance leads into a conservatory and foyer, from which you'll be guided to a light, bright, and spacious open-plan living area. There is also a double bedroom nearby for your convenience, as well as a kitchen and bathroom. Designed by architect Mr. W. Williamson, the central part of the church fully embodies gothic architecture and consists of dramatic stained Douglas fir vaulted beams, stunning leadlight windows, and exceptional artistry from floor to ceiling.
The altarpiece is undoubtedly the standout feature and mimics that of Dunedin Cathedral. If it's not the traditional church features and renovation potential that pique your curiosity, it will surely be this fine building's history. It was built in 1926 and opened by Lord Bishop Richards of Dunedin, who dedicated the name, St Aiden, to congratulate the Anglicans of South Invercargill for their efforts as a place of worship. Before then, it has been used as a parish hall for dances and other events and can seat 200-300 people.
Very rarely do opportunities such as this one present themselves, and herein lies the chance for you to purchase a part of history and turn this grand building into your dream home. Don't delay - contact us for a private viewing today.
