Why Stay at Loft on St Paul?
The Outside
The building, formerly St. Paul’s Anglican Church, was constructed in 1878 and has been beautifully transformed into a stunning loft space. The church was repurposed into an Airbnb after being closed in 2017, maintaining its rich history while incorporating new design features inspired by its original purpose. From the outside, you can still see the remaining features of the century old Church.
Located in Belleville’s Foster Ward, the Loft on St Paul provides guests with a one-of-a-kind experience, combining the charm of the old with the convenience of contemporary living. It’s an ideal spot for those seeking a blend of comfort and history, with close proximity to local attractions and the waterfront.
The outdoor area is equally impressive. Large patio doors lead to a private backyard designed for relaxation and entertainment. Guests can dine al fresco at a large dining table, prepare meals in the outdoor kitchen, or unwind in the jacuzzi under the stars.
The backyard also features a separate bedroom with bunk beds, making it perfect for families or groups traveling together. Note however, that this bedroom is not connected to the rest of the house.
The Inside
Once inside, the blend of old and new continues to impress. The main living area boasts high ceilings and large windows that flood the space with natural light. The grand piano, prominently placed on the stage, serves as both a decorative centerpiece and a functional instrument, making this space ideal for musicians and music lovers. When not rented as an Airbnb, the Loft is often used as a concert venue, adding to its unique appeal.
The open-concept layout includes a renovated kitchen with modern appliances, a spacious dining area, and a comfortable living room designed for relaxing after a day of exploring Belleville. The decor features a mix of industrial and contemporary styles, maintaining the building’s character while offering modern conveniences.
Upstairs, the Loft bedroom overlooks the main space, providing a cozy and private retreat. The queen bed is dressed with plush bedding, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The view from the loft captures the beauty of the entire space, from the piano to the stained-glass windows.
