\"Great<\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

Built in 1906, the church was deconsecrated in the 1950s after the congregation outgrew the space. But the 22-foot ceilings proved to have great acoustics and the property became a popular recording studio in the 1960s known as The Church. It hosted such notable artists as Van Morrison, Boz Scaggs, Jefferson Starship, Huey Lewis and the News, Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, Carlos Santana and others.<\/p>\n

The inspirational main property includes a great room with vaulted ceilings, exposed steel beams, and stained concrete floors. A steel-reinforced, glass-encased staircase leads to an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area. The area touts hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, modern kitchen appliances, and wall-to-wall sliding glass doors that open to an expansive patio. There are three bedrooms and three baths, which include a loft bedroom with an en suite bath. The downstairs bedroom also once stored the Beatles\u2019 instruments before their final San Francisco performance.<\/p>

The property also includes an adjacent cottage with two bedrooms and one bath. Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelly, former roadies for the musicians, stayed there while they tinkered with bicycles. They would later be known as the pioneers who introduced the mountain bike.<\/p>\n

Chris DeNike of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty \u2013 San Francisco Brokerage holds the listing.<\/p>
