This week’s most popular property on realtor.com® isn’t a finished product. However, it does have glorious bones worthy of ecstatic praise. Your clicks anointed a one-of-a-kind A-frame church from the 1960s in St. Louis as the buzziest building in all the land.
It’s a prime example of a property with endless potential in need of a divine savior. The large, wood-beamed building is a showstopper from the curb and now needs someone to come along and reimagine the space into something praiseworthy.
Based on the listing’s popularity, there appear to be plenty of dreamers out there with plans for the place—whether as an office, residence, or something altogether different. God only knows!
Other homes attracting your interest this week included the Maryland baseball estate once owned by Cal Ripken Jr. and now being sold by current big leaguer Adam Jones, a 15-acre estate outfitted for horse racing, boarding, and training in Massachusetts, and a lavish castle outside Pittsburgh complete with its own two-story chapel.
We won’t ask you to pass the collection plate, but we would like you to peruse all of this week’s most popular properties. Simply scroll on down for a mix of the sacred and not-at-all-profane…
