This former church on Toxteth Road is located in Sydney, Australia and was built in 1898. Its interior has since been resurrected into a contemporary residential space.

Merging traditional charm with modern, efficient design aesthetics, the house offers flexible lifestyle choices with its elevated two-storied infrastructure. The entrance level has four bedrooms and bathrooms, including a master suite.

The second level is kept airy and light-filled with clear, sloping panels as part of its ceiling. Glass panels that separate the dining area from the spacious, outdoors balcony maintain the estate’s uncluttered feel, reminiscent of its prayerful, worshipping days.

The original façade of the former church has been kept, preserving its historical outlook. Otto Cserhalmi + Partners Pty Ltd is the chief architecture design firm behind this project, and the house is for sale on the market.
