If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a former chapel, it now won’t take divine intervention to make it happen. But there’s a buoyant caveat: It’s a floating former chapel, currently docked in Palmetto, Florida, and it has just hit the market for $699,000.
The home, known as Former Chapel on the Bay, is listed on Special Finds, a real estate marketplace dedicated to unique properties. According to the listing, the house was originally designed and built as a buoyant wedding venue by naval architects Daniel J. Avoures and Associates, but it was transformed into a livable houseboat after a $1.3 million renovation. While the space now features an open-plan living room, modern kitchen, and two bedrooms, many of the original holy details—such as stained glass windows and a 30-foot steeple—remain. The living space spans 1,050 square feet, while the entire home is 1,800 square feet. Though currently in the Sunshine State, the home can move on its own thanks to two Cummins Diesel engines. Standard amenities, such as air conditioning, are included, and an eight-kilowatt generator powers appliances like as the TV and refrigerator.
