Living in a Church
This stunning Gothic Revival-style building is now one of the most extraordinary and largest single family homes in San Francisco. Built in 1909 in San Francisco's famed Mission District, this church fell on hard times in recent years when its dwindling membership did not have the money to finance needed renovations. Enter businessman Siamak Akhavan who purchased the church for $2.25 million and invested another $3 million in it, turning it into a three-bedroom, 2-½ bath, twelve-room home.
 
住在教堂里
这栋漂亮的歌德复古式建筑现在是旧金山最特别的,也是最大的独户家庭住所。房子在1909年建成,位于旧金山著名的Mission区。因为房主没有钱来进行必要的整修,教堂在近些年经历了艰难的时光。商人Siamak Akhavan花了225万美元买了这栋房子并投入300万美元进行装修,将它变成一个有3个卧室,2-½ 洗漱间,12间房的豪宅。
