The historic landmark, which used to be a church, has hit the real estate market for $4.45 million, but the head-scratching questions regarding the property have stolen the spotlight from the residence’s owners – superstars Beyonce and Jay Z.
The listing on Zillow.com shows stunning photos of a posh church-turned-ballet-school-turned live-in mansion, with elaborate details gushing about the seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom stunner:
