The history
This Neo-Gothic Anglican church, known as St. Mary the Virgin when it opened in 1913, was designed by W.A. Langton, who trained in Boston. It received a heritage designation in 2008, in part because of its large stained-glass triptych. This unit contains the entire thing. The best view is in the master bedroom, on the fourth floor:
The unit has a fancy hammerbeam roof:

Big selling point
There’s a private entrance on the main floor and a one-car garage tucked directly below, for added privacy and convenience:
Possible deal breaker
There are an awful lot of stairs to climb, although having the bedrooms on separate floors does make it easier to find a little sanctuary (pun intended).
