635 Steiner Avenue Cincinnati, OH

I'm going to assume the price listed is right. At a purchase price of $5,000 this might be the most tempting church I've seen yet.
Considering the fact that to turn a church into a residence the shape of this church is kinda perfect. You can add all the electrical and plumbing needed and build out spaces as you need. I am making the massive assumption that her bones are good. She apparently is eligible for grants to help with the renovation.
WANT!

Development Opportunity in Cincinnati
Renovation and Reuse of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church

This outstanding German Gothic Revival church is the primary landmark of the West Side neighborhood of Sedamsville. Vacant since 1989, the church was stabilized by the City of Cincinnati in April 2012 and is now ready for renovation. It needs a new owner who can creatively rehabilitate it for a new use that respects the building and the neighborhood.

Built in 1889, the church building features a rose window, corbelled brickwork and a soaring 170’ spire. Beautifully sited on a hillside overlooking River Road (US Route 50), it is visible from the Ohio River and the Kentucky shore. The church was designed by prolific German-American church architect Adolph Druiding.

The building contains 5720 square feet and occupies a 100 x 120’ lot. A small parking lot is included in the sale. Zoning is Residential Mixed. The predominant land use is single- and multi-family residential, with some neighborhood commercial uses.

Loated three miles from downtown, Sedamsville occupies a wooded valley beside the river. Unique among Cincinnati’s neighborhoods, it is surrounded by protected greenspace. The neighborhood is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district, so federal and state tax credits are available for rehabilitation.
