Ever wanted to live in a church? This property could answer your prayers

|

When your real estate agent tells you God has blessed this home, she isn’t joking.

The Smithtown building that is currently Trinity AME Church has hit the housing market for $425,000.

Listed by Laffey Real Estate, 229 New York Ave. has the potential to be converted into a single-family home, the realtor says.

“It may be possible to have the property redeveloped into a residential property,” the listing reads. “The owners are not making any representation to this effect.

“Prospective purchases to do their own due diligence,” the listing adds.

Positioned on the corner of New York Avenue and Wildwood Lane, the 1,750-square-foot property is located smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood. It’s a stone’s throw away from Robert A. Brady Park, which features ballfields; basketball, tennis and roller hockey courts; horseshoe pits; and a play area for children.

The first floor consists of one large open room, a storage area and a half-bathroom. Down in the basement, there are several finished rooms and a half-bathroom.

None of the rooms are dedicated bedrooms.

Built in 1910, the structure features updated siding and windows. The building has been on the market since June 12. The price was reduced from $499,000 to its current price on Aug. 16.

The monthly tax bill is estimated to be about $648.
