Built in 1930, the building started life as a church and was then converted into a successful antique store. However, now ready for a new project, the grand exterior would make the perfect upmarket converted home for its new owner. Currently on the market for $75,000 (£55k), we aren't complaining about the bargain price either!

If you are looking for a true fixer-upper, then this grand building in Warren, Ohio is on the market for  $135,000 (£99.6k). With six impressive Corinthian columns leading up to the front door, the historic building would make the perfect grand mansion - after a few tweaks. 

Built in the late 19th century and then extended in 1954, the building is spread over a total of 20,900 square feet. The main entrance hall, which boasts a large double-sided staircase has been left empty and abandoned. However, after some work, it could easily be transformed into a grand hallway. 

Positioned in the historic American town of Selma, North Carolina, this grand Gothic Revival-style building was completed in 1908 and has long been an important local landmark. Nestled on a prominent corner plot in the heart of town, Selma Baptist Church benefits from a stately masonry exterior, a dominant corner bell tower, pointed arch windows, and buttresses with rusticated stone details. Sadly, the property is in a state of disrepair and is in need of an overhaul both inside and out.

Inside, the abandoned church features a soaring cathedral ceiling and large arched windows that would make great additions to a living space, while period details such as original Gothic ecclesiastical chandeliers and pressed metal ceilings add to the property's charm. Elsewhere, there's a panelled staircase, a raised pulpit area, a pastor’s office, numerous bathrooms and a small partial basement.

For sale via Preservation North Carolina for just $175,000 (£129k), the church could be the perfect purchase for an ambitious buyer. What's more, the church is eligible for historic tax credits and is located in an Opportunity Zone, meaning the purchaser will benefit from financial support when converting the building for residential use. 

With around 30 rooms in total which include, bedrooms, office spaces and a large kitchen, the chapel sits separately on the third floor. Described as being in 'fair condition' in the listing, it's no secret that the building would need some extra work to make it into the perfect dream home. 

The perfect project for those with a vivid imagination, this Carnegie Library is currently on the market for $250,000 (£184k). With the interior an empty shell, poised for a renovation, the grand exterior is nothing short of spectacular. Let's take a look inside... 

Cloaked in overgrown greenery and featuring broken windows and boarded up panes, it's clear to see that this abandoned school is in need of rescuing. On the market for $750,000 (£538k) and offering 42,000 square feet of interior space, it could be the ideal shell to turn into one vast property or a number of stylish flats. 

Once a glorious place of worship, this church has now been left to wrack and ruin and is looking for a new owner. On the market for $950,000 (£700k), the building may be an extreme fixer-upper, but has also been historically certified according to the listing. 

For the right buyer with a keen eye and a strong imagination, the church could easily be made into a wonderful home. Just think of those stained glass windows as part of a new interior scheme. The property also comes with a 16-unit development opportunity, so could make an interesting commercial project.

Despite being listed with LoopNet and J Street Companies for a cool $8 million (£4.7m), this historic church in Washington, D.C., USA, will provide plenty of bang for your buck. Encompassing 10,713 square feet and overflowing with character, this unique development opportunity is one not to be overlooked...

The eye-catching building dates back to 1880 and has a unique internal layout that is in need of a rethink. Covering two floors, the building is overflowing with period fixtures, including stained glass windows, original church woodwork, beamed and tin ceilings, iron columns, brick walls and timber staircases. With this extreme fixer-upper, there's much to admire!

This is without doubt the finest space in the historic church. With its incredible graffitied walls and ceiling and original features, this room could be something really special. What's more, the property can be found across the road from the Rubell Art Museum and Randall School, which is currently undergoing redevelopment, meaning this corner of Washington, D.C. is on its way up. Have you got what it takes to tackle such an extensive project?

Once bustling with students, this former college campus in East Point Georgia is now on the market for $25 million (£18.4m) and is looking for new owners who are ready for a challenge. The perfect re-development opportunity, the property comes with residential zoning so is ready to be developed into a quirky home right away. 

This imposing historic corner building is not only strategically located within one of the world’s most prominent luxury shopping districts, but it also happens to be overflowing with personality. On the market with LoopNet and Ashkenazy Acquisition for an undisclosed sum, prospective buyers can get in touch to put forward their interest...

Constructed in 1910, the historic building was originally a bank and, for many years, also operated as San Francisco's Museum of Ice Cream, so the interior is eclectic to say the least. With pink walls, ball pits filled with fake sprinkles and psychedelic wallpapers lining almost every wall, the colossal building is certainly one of a kind. 

Comprised of approximately 24,408 square feet, the former bank soars up five floors and could easily be converted into an incredible apartment building, or a multi-generation house for one very lucky (and wealthy) family. However, due to its central city location, surrounded by the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Dior and Macy’s, the property could also be transformed into a high-end hotel, a luxury department store, or even a gallery. The choice really is yours...
