One-of-a-kind 6BR/3BA historic residence with 2-stall garage, rich architectural character, and flexible living spaces. Formerly theChurch of God, with records traced to 1924 via the Blue Earth County Historical Society. The original church foundation was reused, with a country church from Judson, MN rebuilt on site in 1945. The church remained in use until 1986, when purchased by the current owner, a commercial construction carpenter who thoughtfully transformed the property. The former church altar remains in the living room as a striking focal point. Open-concept main level with kitchen featuring generous pantry space, original white hanging light fixtures from the church, spiral staircase, 2 main-floor bedrooms, and full bath with hot tub, heated floors, and laundry. The entire second floor was built during renovation, offering 2 bedrooms, full bath, balcony, stained glass from another church, and 2 leaded-glass windows from Colorado. Navy-blue room is a legal bedroom. Lower level has separate entrance, living area, kitchen, bath, and bedrooms; previously used as pastoral residence and later church spaces. Don't forget to check out the 3rd story deck overlooking the city/valley. Active rental license through 12-31-2026. Historic details include driveway lights from the City of Mankato, exterior lights from the original YMCA and aged green metal elements salvaged from the former First National Bank roofline. Cobblestone drive, fenced yard, flower beds, patio. Across street Roosevelt School, near parks, shopping, grocery, and worship. Quick close possible. in the late 1800's to 1900's Ringling Brother circus tied their elephants to a tree that was in this back yard- lot- farmland.
