Walk past this historic building in the heart of Mannum and you will probably assume it’s just an old church.
Have faith that there is much more to it inside than meets the eye though.
The former Mannum Baptist Church at 32 William St, which was built in circa 1893, has been transformed into a contemporary two-bedroom home.
After about 18 months of renovating, the owners have decided to sell it.

Selling agent Michael Nance, of Statewide Property Network, said it was used as a church until 2018 when the current owners purchased it.
“The current owners bought it with the intention of renovating it into a residence,” he said.
“You probably wouldn’t guess (from the outside) that someone actually lives there.”
Mr Nance said the owners have retained the building’s structural integrity and character but repurposed its interior, giving it a much more modern style.
An open kitchen, dining and living area forms the hub of the home, which opens onto a separate lounge room and balcony overlooking the River Murray.

A mezzanine offers two bedrooms that share two walk-in wardrobe spaces and an ensuite.
The main bathroom and laundry are on the ground floor.
On a 1097sqm block, the property also has two sheds and a double carport.
Mr Nance said the way the owners’ had blended modern style with historic design made it stand out.
“I’ve been doing real estate for 30 years and it’s probably the first church that I’ve sold that’s been done up like that,” he said.
The owners are selling the property so they can renovate a beach shack on Victoria’s coast.
The property is listed with a $560,000 to $580,000 price guide.
