About this home

The Sanctuary, also known as the Church, is an Architectural Masterpiece and a rare opportunity to own a piece of Seattle’s history. Never to be duplicated and truly one-of-one. The First Church of Christ Scientist is a historical landmark originally built in 1906 and reimagined into 12 incredible single-family residences surrounding a magnificent rotunda with a stained-glass dome completed in 2011. Rich in character and architectural detail, these homes rarely come to market. 1845 has its own private, gated entry with outdoor space as well as a private elevator to every floor within the unit. Imagine living with massive carved stone columns and detailing throughout, sliding stained glass panels over large windows, exposed brick and concrete and limestone walls steeped in history but designed for sophisticated lifestyles and luxury living for today, including a contemporary kitchen, modern baths and more. Soaring ceilings, an abundance of light and architectural details throughout offer luxurious living on three levels. 1845 is the only residence with a private elevator to every level including a lower-level private art or work studio and two parking with additional storage in the garage.
