Built in the 1880s, the former Alberton Baptist Church is now known as 'Church Studios' and includes three titles across a 2,934-square-metre corner plot of land.
"The c.1880s estate presents the owner-occupier or investor a chance to live, work, and play within a proud and prominent Portside address," states the listing.
The main residence features six bedrooms, a family room/home theatre, an open-plan kitchen with Smeg cooker, and two renovated bathrooms.
A 1960s addition known as the 'Court Building' acts as a workshop, studio or exhibition space for buyers pursuing creative endeavours.
This structure features vaulted decorative ceilings, louvred doors, and French doors that open onto the private courtyard gardens.
Next is the Great Hall which, despite renovations over the years, has retained the original World War I pipe organ and stained-glass cathedral panes.
As stated in the listing, the space has potential to be used as an "optional office and cellar or storage rooms."
It also features a caterer's kitchen and chancel-turn-stage, making it an ideal space for hosting events.
Complementing the multi-use interiors, the outdoor spaces present many attractive features including a barbeque zone, shipping container storage and open utility shedding with power, two street frontages, parking for eight cars and secure gated entry.
The property is located within easy access to Semaphore and Port Adelaide's Maritime precinct.
