The list of five unique homes comes from real estate brokerage Zoocasa. They go well beyond the typical subdivision-style abode and ” redefine what a home can be,” Zoocasa notes.

These homes, located across Ontario, take churches and other old buildings and convert them into something extraordinary.

Here are five of the most unusual homes for sale in Ontario:
