Some buildings hold history. This one holds character you can actually live inside. Early 1900's era. For 100 years it was known as the Brora United Church. Strategically converted to a residence in 2014, this extraordinary residential home sits on a private acre just 9 mins north of Regina, close enough for convenience, far enough to breathe. Step inside to soaring 15 ft ceilings, dramatic 54-inch barrel cove details, architectural features that simply don’t exist in new construction. Every detail, from the extensive top-of-cabinet styling to the 10-foot electrified buffet, wired for heating trays, chafing dishes, and entertaining at scale, was considered with both beauty and function in mind. Main level full bathroom and primary loft/bedroom area could easily be separated off with custom draperies. Step outside to a 12’ x 18’ three-season sunroom elevated 10 feet above the grounds, offering sweeping prairie views and a natural gathering place in every season. The east-facing “Morning Balcony” was designed precisely for sunrise coffee. A staircase connects you to the ground level, where the landscaping honours the octagon shape of the original choir loft. A brick patio surrounds a central fire pit set within a design that incorporated over 900 used bricks in that area alone alongside four garden beds, a decorative gazebo, and a front yard pond. Beneath the heritage aesthetic is a home rebuilt from the inside out. There's 400-amp service, 200 amps to the house, with a spare 200 amps for a future garage. A drainage system manages water flow with a rainwater collection system with two 1,000L cisterns supports sustainable outdoor use. The lower level offers self-contained living quarters with exterior access: a natural fit for extended family, guests, or supplementary income complete with family room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms (one currently being used as an office) and large laundry/closet area.
