Impressive Church Conversion in San Francisco

Posted by on Mar 13, 2011 in ARCHITECTURE

The owner of this former church overlooking San-Francisco’s Mission Dolores Park converted it into a single-family home with three bedrooms.

The church built in 1909, was bought in 2007 by commercial property developer Siamak Akhavan.  The brick exterior was upgraded, leaks were repaired, new floors added, and stain-glass windows restored.

The property, which underwent seismic retrofitting to better endure earthquakes, is on sale and offered at $7,490,000.
