Welcome to Ahavath Sholom! We promise you've never seen anything like this! Have you ever wanted a house that looked like it was featured on a home makeover program? Or a house with it's own Wikipedia page? With a kitchen that appears to be ripped from a cooking show? A home that has been featured in newspapers and magazines? Even a morning curmudgeon can't help but smile as the sun shines through enormous, antique stained-glass windows. This old temple turned home is perfect for someone looking for something out of the ordinary. The building has had many purposes: it began as a Jewish Temple, became a Church for various denominations, the Ligonier Historical Museum, and in 2020, it was converted into a home. In addition to three beautiful stained-glass windows, the property also features a catwalk and twelve-foot wooden doors opening into a beautiful foyer with its own stained-glass window. With two bedrooms, two full baths, a half-bath in the basement and the ability to convert two alcoves into queen bedrooms, the open-planned, voluminous space has plenty of room for everyone! Centrally located less than 15 miles South of Shipshewana (concerts at Blue Gate Theater, restaurants, and Amish goods) and less than 15 miles East of Syracuse (Lake Wawasee). This property would be a perfect AirBNB! Ahavath Shalom was purchased from Indiana Landmarks and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. HOME DETAILS: new roof in 2020, new kitchen appliances, seller has a home warranty that will transfer to new buyer, stain glass windows are protected with plexiglass which aids in utility costs. Average is $360//month.
