While its previous use was as a church, Strathcona County has expressed a preference for future commercial use in the space, opening the door to all kinds of ideas, including a wellness studio, café, or boutique retail space.

It would be the perfect spot for your yoga studio or a unique event venue.

Residential conversion is also an option subject to County approval.

“With the right permissions, you could create a charming residence or combine residential and commercial functions—such as an Airbnb, a live-work space, or a self-contained basement suite,” the real estate listing reads.

However, this could potentially be pricey, as the ad states you can’t get a residential mortgage unless the building is converted to a residential layout.

It’s close enough to Edmonton that it’s convenient, but just far enough to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Plus, it’s a great chance to snag a charming character building for a fabulous price!
