A Missouri home listing has the potential to answer the prayers of a would-be homebuyer.

The church at 4101 Humphrey Street in St. Louis is on the market for $2.5 million, according to the listing. The property has been on the market for nearly four months, but recently gained fame when posted by the popular social media page, “Zillow Gone Wild.”

The property dates back to 1929, but was recently completely renovated, according to the listing. Located in Tower Grove South, the historic property includes 11,000 square feet in the church setting and another 5,000 square feet in an attached rectory, allowing owners to get multiple uses out of the property.

There’s a three-car garage, nine parking spots beyond that and street parking on top of it all. Both the church building and the rectory have full kitchens.

One could hypothetically sleep in the pews, but when reached for comment, Ted Wight of Sotheby’s International Realty said the owners are living in the former rectory. According to the listings, there are three tenants in the rectory paying $2,700 in gross rent; property taxes on the full property are roughly $16,000 per year.

The church is being used as an office for an advertising agency. There are plenty other uses an owner could get out of the space, though, as the listing marvels at its potential as an event space, health and wellness spot or co-working space. Valets for big events are even able to park on a neighboring lot.

If that price point is too high, another church in St. Louis is also on the market (and also recently seen on “Zillow Gone Wild”). The church at 2501 Clifton Avenue has been on the market for about the same amount of time as the Humphrey Street property, available for $1.4 million.

Features of that church include six bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms and 7,900 square feet across a quarter-acre lot. The restored gothic church even has a hot tub atop its bell tower. Keller Williams Realty’s Megan Gauthier has that listing, according to Realtor.com.
