This 2007 conversion has several units, at least one of which--a 3/3 first-floor space of 2,800 square feet--is on the market for $499K. The location is a pleasant and not wholly-gentrified one one: just west of Western at the Ukrainian Village/Humboldt Park line.

A resplendent example of church condos, this East Village conversion touched down way back in 1998. A definite trendsetter, it's a shame more projects didn't adhere to the quality and sensitivity of this construction. Count your lucky stars! One 2/2 unit is available for $390K.

We first thought this Irving Park condo building merely had the illusion of pious design, but our readers corrected us back in 2011. At that time a 4-bed, 4,800-square-foot unit was renting for just $3,000. More of a spare Protestant model, the church still affords sharply pitched ceilings and space for all your modern spoils.

Speak of the devil, it's R. Kelly's old joint--site of "peegate". R. Kelly hasn't owned the Lakeview church-mansion since 2002 and in early 2011, the 8,000-square-foot conversion at George & Sheffield sold to a "very young, very hip" CEO for $2.64M. Check out the concerted Scandinavian vibe.

For sheer size and gumption, this church-to-mansion Lincoln Park conversion takes the cake. The 10,000-square-foot digs date to 1896 as a Greek Orthodox church. In 2002, Burns & Beyerl Architects gave it the royal treatment. Priced as high as $4.2M, the home and an adjoining lot sold last December for just $2.325M.

Not especially homey or available, this 4,000-square-foot Humboldt Park special is still a feast for the eyes with its original pew balconies and 39-foot ceilings. Listing in 2009 for $970K, reality brought the May 2011 sales price down to $600K.

Sorry, but this might be the tackiest church still inhabited in the city. A combo of church and rectory it's now a Roscoe Village mini-manse, renovated in the early 1990s. The interiors are nice though not very church-like until you reach the eaves and vaulted ceilings of the master suite. The home sold two weeks ago for $1.1M.

Speaking of non-traditional appearances, you can't get more anonymous than this converted Lakeview church. Google street view tells us we're looking at the back end of a sizable church at the corner of Kenmore & School-- so there you have it. The 2-bed unit for sale betrays no aspect of a former life, but you might like it anyway. The ask: $385K.

This handsome devil (pardon the expression) has at least one impeccable unit for sale over in Wicker Park. It's a 3/2, second-floor condo with tons of exposed brick, custom finishes, library, and balcony for $569K. There are only six units in this swank conversion so it's a lucky opening in a great neighborhood.

Hey now, here's an exemplary spot not far from the previous Lakeview address. And it's all yours--the whole church--for $1.225M. The four-level, four-bed home spans 3,600 square feet with sparkling finishes, exposed brick, a master suite with arched ceiling, and three outdoor spaces.

A 6,000-square-foot single-family in a 19th Century converted church recently sold for $1.185M. The opulent digs are just off Logan Square and easily rivals the boulevard's classic Greystone mini-mansions. Here's hoping it changes hands again soon.

Across the street from Covenant Presbyterian Church at Dickens & Damen is a converted funeral chapel once attached to the larger church. It's now attached to a homeowner. The only unit we know of was a 2,000-square-foot 2/2, on the rental market a couple years back for just $1,975/month. It has an etherial living room/dining room/kitchen combo, hardwoods throughout, and a back yard w/ koi pond.

An old Lakeview rectory, converted to 10 condos in the 1990s, has one delightful 3/3 triplex about to be sold in the neighborhood of $600K. As with most rectories, it sits opposite the church-- also on our list of conversions.

Enter the Synagogue. This 6-unit number, converted in 2001, is hard to miss on the back streets of Wicker Park. One incredible 3-bed duplex, renovated by an unnamed HGTV designer, sold last November for $579K. The place has a fully-automated smart home system, bamboo floors, marble baths, custom built-ins, exposed brick, and a balcony. If this is indicative of the building's other units, we'll be stunned into silence (well, not really).

In Bucktown, a seven condos were built into an 1891 church. A listed unit we wrote up 18 months ago has long since sold but in it you can glimpse the character of this building: rows of arched windows, hardwood floors, wooden beams, and high ceilings.
