About This Property
The Church, as it is commonly known, is a modern-day jewel encased
in vintage design. It pairs the elegance of custom architecture
with the convenience of a two-car, underground parking garage.
Original stone masonry and stained-glass windows greet you at the
front door. A custom chandelier designed by world-renowned Warren
Muller welcomes you to the foyer. Enter into the spacious and
open-concept entertaining area with living room, kitchen, and
enclosed patio. The open layout is subtly punctuated by a series of
Middle Eastern pointed arches leading to a custom, high-end gourmet
kitchen recently renovated with no expense spared and large enough
to accommodate all of your entertaining needs. Marble countertops
stretch the length of the kitchen and top the massive island with
plenty of room for seating that stretches the length of the kitchen
and features a farmhouse apron front basin and wet bar sink.
Across from the island is a hidden coffee and cocktail station with
cabinet doors to conceal the contents and a drawer microwave
convection oven combo. Two Wolf commercial five-burner gas stoves
are set against a beautiful backdrop of geometric tile complete
with a pot filler faucet and a custom cabinet chef~s range hood. A
second Warren Muller light fixture hangs above the island along
with additional recessed lights. A Subzero refrigerator and
separate wine chiller ensure that guests will never leave
unsatisfied. Triple French doors with transoms lead to the slate
covered courtyard patio reminiscent of an Italian villa. The
Moroccan tile from New York City's famous Mosaic House can be found
on the floor and backsplash of the kitchen and on the surround of
the decorative fireplace. The living room is brightly lit with
natural sunlight from windows that contain the original stained
glass of the church. Soft illumination beams down from the stunning
trayed ceiling. Walnut flooring adds warmth to the sitting area,
and the decorative fireplace clad in imported Moroccan tile will
spur conversation between your guests. Throughout the first floor,
you will find custom trim, woodwork, and architectural details
unlike any home in the area. As you walk up the staircase, a sense
of serenity comes upon you. You are greeted by a cozy sitting area,
with French doors to a second-floor balcony, perfect for your
morning coffee or evening nightcap. Your master bedroom awaits you
with a balcony overlooking the private, Roman-inspired patio with
curved exposed-brick architecture and open windows. The master bath
blends privacy and functionality with a glass-enclosed shower,
oversized soaking tub, and separate water closet. A double sink and
built-in vanity complete the modern look. Marble subway wainscoting
covers the majority of the walls. Risers to the third floor are
illuminated with under-lighting and lead you to three guest
bedrooms with a full bath and laundry closet. The skylight sprays a
burst of natural light on the landing, even on the cloudiest of
days. One of the bedrooms has a sitting area that could function as
an au pair or in-law suite. Your guests~ bathroom is no less
elegant than the master bath with double vessel sinks and marble
tile throughout. A full-size washer and dryer set are included and
neatly tucked away in a closet for convenience. For all its antique
design, the Church is replete with modern-day, energy-efficient
amenities. The house is outfitted with central air and a tankless
water heater to save on utility costs. You can escape the stress of
Manayunk parking with a gated, underground lot that fits two cars.
City living mixed with antique luxury and modern-day conveniences.
You will also enjoy six years of significant tax savings from the
current tax abatement. The house and renovation have been featured
in Philly Magazine, Elle Decor, HouseBeautiful.com, and Hidden City
Philadelphia. You are sure to impress everyone who walks through
your door!
