Historic Homes

A 240 Year-Old Church Transformed in Upstate New York

On today's episode of Homeworthy, we're in Granville, NY, visiting the unique home of Cristiana Peña and Nick Porter.

Cristiana, with a background in historic preservation and a passion for old homes, had always dreamed of living in a church. In 2022, she and Nick made that dream a reality by purchasing a 1782 church that had been vacant for years. Together, they’ve transformed this 3,600-square-foot space into their home, all while dealing with challenges like mold removal and the absence of central AC.

Cristiana’s love for vintage and secondhand treasures is evident throughout the home, creating a space that’s both charming and full of history. Enjoy!
