Look inside a 130-year-old church in Vermont transformed into a modern, 5-bedroom home

Built in 1893, this former Victorian church is now a modern, five-bedroom home.

Painted bright blue, the home sits on just under three quarters of an acre in Castleton, Vermont, within close distance to the Lakes Region and less than an hour's drive from Killington and Okemo ski resorts.

The home maintains many original church details, such as 23-foot altar ceilings with acoustic tiles and stained glass windows. However, it's fully equipped for modern living.

The former sacristy is now an office and workshop space with its own entrance.

On the main level is an open concept kitchen, living area, and dining area. Windows allow natural light to flood in ...

... and the space includes a pellet stove for extra warmth in the winter.

Attached to the main living area is an in-law suite with a master bedroom, lounge, bathroom, and separate kitchen.

The suite's kitchen cabinets are made from recycled church pews.

Connecting the first and second floors is a winding, wooden staircase.

The upstairs is home to the majority of the home's bedrooms, including a two-level master suite.

Unlike the other bedrooms, the master comes with a private dressing room and bell tower nook.

All have access to a second-floor balcony overlooking the altar space, which seems like the perfect space to enjoy a morning coffee.
