    Here at Inhabitat we've covered several <a href="http://inhabitat.com/1930s-church-transformed-into-amazing-house-in-rotterdam/">incredible examples</a> of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/gorgeous-church-renovated-into-modern-bookstore/">renovated churches</a> - and here's another beautiful redux that really answered its owner's prayers. Baker Kavanagh converted this landmark heritage church close to Sydney's center city into two luxury homes. The three bedroom residence recently sold, and interior pics showcase the home's amazing daylighting and chic, modern furnishings. Heck, the luxury apartment even comes complete with an indoor swimming pool.
