Former church converted to open concept home. 25 minutes from Halifax Airport

Located in the quaint town of Stewiacke, touted as halfway between the north pole and equator, this former church has been been converted in to a beautiful open concept home where century charm meets modern style.

Entering the home, ones eyes are immediately drawn to the 28ft wood ceilings and two of the original stained glass windows, backlit with remote controlled accent lighting.

Tucked away up in the new loft addition, you'll find a large, yet cozy king size bed to ensure you'll have a comfortable sleep, and a chest of drawers offers plenty of space to organize your clothes during your stay. A large flat screen TV can be watched from the comfort of bed and a cozy nook with a couch is the perfect place to curl up and read a book.

This home has a beautiful sitting/living area, furnished with a comfortable couch that can also be used for additional sleep space, and a large flat screen TV with cable, android box and Netflix.

Where the altar once was, is now a spacious eat-in kitchen. Crisp, clean and modern, this kitchen is fully equipped for all of your cooking needs. Enjoy a tasty home cooked meal around the huge dining room table, or sip a quiet cup of coffee at the bistro set and watch the passersby through the window.

This home is entirely open concept, with the exception of the spacious bathroom. Looking much like a walkway to an outside entrance, this bathroom is brightly lit, has an elegant glass walk-in shower, washer, dryer, and ample counter space.

Outside is sure to please, as well as this property boasts a large 12 x 30 veranda that is seasonally furnished with plenty of comfortable seating space, a dining set and barbecue.

During your stay, you'll have the convenience of keyless entry, free WiFi and cable TV. Air conditioning for the hot summer days, and a wood stove for those chilly winter nights.

Guests will have access to the main level of the home, including the veranda.
Host is on-site in the lower part of the house. The door connecting the two floors is locked from both sides for the privacy of both host and guests.

  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washer/dryer, and fireplace

Beautiful restored Church
This is a beautiful property! The home comes with everything you need for both short and long term stays. It’s a very unique property and Jim has done an amazing job renovating his place. The stairs were a little difficult for my 91 year old mom but other than that we really loved our stay!

Spectacular stay in Stewiacke
We loved this unique and stunning renovated church with all its special touches and cozy spaces. It was perfectly clean and fully equipped. We enjoyed coffee on the veranda, reading in the belfry, sleeping in the comfy bed and discovering all the themed artistic touches. The smart features were cool too. We’d love to visit again.

Amazing, Unique, Comfortable & Spotless
The church is incredible, great host, probably the cleanest, most well equipped place I have ever stayed in. Jim, the host is friendly and welcoming. Easy check in. Great spot with a lovely park across the street. There’s a great little breakfast spot in the park with free coffee for the guests of the church. The park has the best looking community garden with neat, raised beds. We are Four senior family members and we throughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thanks Jim!

The Blue Church!
Loved it! Homely, eccentric, a stunning conversion. We had a great time in this gorgeous space and it was the perfect family base from which to explore and a ‘home’ to return to. My son and I loved hearing an approaching train and sprinting down to the crossing to see them pass. 😆 Jim is delightfully passionate about his place and rightly so, look forward to coming back!

What a special place! Jim has done an amazing job restoring the old church into a wonderfully modern space while keeping several of the unique church features like the beautiful windows and baptismal fount. Convenient to Halifax and Truro too.

Unique property!
We absolutely loved TheTrinity! This was by far the most unique property we’ve ever stayed in! From the size to the amazing decor & outdoor veranda it was truly incredible! We liked the location as it is a short drive to either Truro or Halifax. I only wish we could have stayed longer to really enjoy everything it had to offer! What a transformation from a church to an amazing property! Thank you Jim!
