‘Not so basic’ basics are complete within the sacred monument itself.  Your dreams will be sweet in the antique Indonesian opium bed.  Meals and board games are relished on an inlaid Moroccan table, behind which is a well-appointed open kitchen with limestone floors  The open plan of the main room, originally the body of the church, feels like an urban loft.  A commanding carved limestone fireplace salvaged from a Broadway theatre creates a focal point beneath soaring domed ceilings.  Antique pressed tin walls and ceilings are embellished in a fleur-de-lis patterned opalescent chameleon-like colour dances with sunlight. A series of regal stained glass windows over twenty feet tall and patterned in a non-religious motif, offset by tremendous gothic windows.  Escape to the bell tower, a veritable interior treehouse.  Soak your troubles away in the antique claw-foot bathtub.  Selective serenity balances modern comforts of central air conditioning, telephone, wifi, iPod dock, cd and dvd players, cable, flat screen tv.

Step outside to private forested grounds and rock ledge surrounds rich in native splendor; complete with a bluestone terrace, gas bar-bie, dining area, fire pit, Adirondack chairs, hammocks, croquet and flower gardens.
