High-End Villa in Former Church on the Merici Estate Step inside this exceptional, very luxurious villa, housed in a former church where history and modern living comfort perfectly merge. Situated on a generous plot of 2,735 m², including a meadow of 1 hectare (10,000 m²), guaranteeing a permanently unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside. This villa is located in the picturesque town of Bergen (NH) and was masterfully transformed in 2018 into a unique and luxurious residence, complete with a second internal dwelling, offering a total living area of 575 m². On the grounds stands a detached double garage of 55 m². The distinctive architecture of the original building has been preserved with care and respect, while the interior has been fully adapted to the demands of contemporary living. Architectural historians classify the chapel’s style as cubist-expressionist. The separate bell tower has been preserved, though it no longer serves a functional purpose. Recently, a special globe created by renowned artist Ron Moret was placed atop the bell tower. This unique artwork, perfectly aligned with Bergen’s artistic character, symbolizes connection and global perspectives. With its refined design and artisanal details, the globe immediately draws attention and serves as an inspiring beacon in the village—a beautiful addition to Bergen’s cultural landscape! Authentic Elements Upon entering, you are immediately impressed by the grand hallway, thanks to its height, abundant natural light, and the stunning stained glass window that accentuates the historic atmosphere. A true masterpiece designed by Jaap Min. The abstract shapes and rich symbolism add artistic value to the villa. Open Living Space From the hallway, you enter the spacious living room where high ceilings and large windows create a flood of light. This gives the villa an unparalleled sense of space and freedom and makes the area highly suitable for displaying artworks. The room flows seamlessly into the luxurious open kitchen with Metropolitan Luxury style. By the seating area is a cozy open fireplace, and the floating aquarium adds an artistic element that brings the space to life. The entire home’s interior is tastefully decorated in a style known as “Metropolitan Luxury.” It’s the perfect balance between cosmopolitan elegance and homely comfort, reflecting an international lifestyle with influences from global cities like New York, London, and Dubai. Authentic details such as the beautiful church bells on the exterior of the villa have been thoughtfully integrated into the design. The combination of modern elegance and rich materials creates a unique blend. Behind the aquarium is a long corridor that could serve excellently as an exhibition space. This area also features the second masterful stained-glass window by Jaap Min, which makes the space both calming and inspiring.
