Originally constructed circa 1887, this extraordinary Gothic Revival church has been thoughtfully transformed into one of New Haven’s most unforgettable residences. Formerly known as Trinity Hill Bed & Breakfast, this approximately 1,860 sq ft property beautifully marries more than a century of history and architectural character with the comforts and conveniences of modern living as a renovated residence!
Step inside the former sanctuary and prepare to be captivated. Soaring approximately 20-foot cathedral ceilings create a breathtaking sense of scale, while six magnificent Gothic arched windows with rich amber stained glass filter warm light throughout the expansive main living space. Six custom and carefully designed lantern-style chandeliers draw the eye upward and complement the building’s historic character, while beautiful oak flooring brings warmth beneath your feet. At approximately 1,000 sq ft, the former sanctuary provides an incredible open-concept living and entertaining space unlike anything found in a traditional home.
The history continues throughout a property that has served its community in many forms over the decades, including as a church and even the town library. Today, those remarkable architectural details provide the backdrop for a truly distinctive residence.
The former altar area has been transformed into a beautiful, well-appointed full kitchen, blending seamlessly into the dramatic main space. Designer cabinetry, granite countertops and a focal center island with gas cooktop provide modern functionality while maintaining the open, social atmosphere of the original sanctuary. An adjacent butler's pantry provides space and functionality.
Thoughtfully placed bedroom provides privacy without sacrificing the openness that makes this property so special, while the great room provides plent of space to be able to add additional bedrooms. Updated bath features ceramic tile and a spacious walk-in shower just off the main bedroom. A front entrance "foyer" could be transformed into an additional bedroom, or private sitting area. All the details of this amazing building pay homage to the building’s storied past.
Outside, the prominent corner bell tower immediately announces that this is no ordinary property. Situated on a corner lot with off-street parking, additional rear parking and space previously utilized for larger vehicles, the property is located just blocks from New Haven’s historic downtown, local shops and restaurants and the Missouri River.
Perhaps most intriguing is the versatility this remarkable property presents. Continue enjoying it as an unforgettable private residence, create an extraordinary weekend retreat, or explore the possibilities offered by its history as the former Trinity Hill Bed & Breakfast, subject to applicable zoning, permitting and approvals.
This isn't simply a converted church—it is a piece of New Haven history that has been preserved, reimagined and given an entirely new life. From the soaring sanctuary and Gothic stained glass to the bell tower, dramatic chandeliers and modern kitchen, 901 Maupin Avenue offers the rare opportunity to own a home that truly cannot be duplicated.
