A historic two-story condominium conversion completed within the shell of Amesbury’s former First Methodist Church. The project repurposes the 1887 masonry and timber structure into a small collection of twelve upscale residences arranged as single-level flats and loft-style duplexes. Units showcase dramatic cathedral and vaulted ceiling volumes — living rooms rise as high as 25 feet and loft sleeping areas reach roughly 17 feet — with exposed original beams, tall arched stained-glass windows, and preserved architectural detailing throughout. Interiors typically include open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas, a lofted bedroom or secondary sleeping alcove, bonus rooms or offices, generous closet space including walk-ins, and in-unit laundry. Finishes combine restored historic elements and modern updates such as quartz counters and efficient mini-split climate systems in many homes. Common exterior amenities are modest and neighborhood-focused, with planted garden areas and assigned two-car parking for most units. The property’s entrance and circulation reuse the church’s grand lobby, and its downtown position places residents within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and local services while remaining a short drive to regional commuter routes and coastal recreation.
