Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Constructed between 1845 and 1860 as a Siloam Methodist Church, this solid stone property stands over 60 feet tall and has been thoughtfully updated for modern use. The roof features 128 solar panels installed in 2013, with four basement inverters; the system generates approximately 34,000–36,000 kilowatts annually and primarily powers the main unit. Outside, the property includes a courtyard with stamped concrete paving, an electric door, limited parking, and an 8-foot white cedar fence.

Inside, the first floor offers a photography studio, kitchen, lounge area, makeup corner, and a full bathroom within a wide-open loft space. The sanctuary has a 35-foot ceiling and stained glass windows and has been demoed and plastered, with the balcony converted into additional rooms. The third floor is the owner’s unit with salvaged doors, a custom three-sink vanity, a stained glass shower stall, two bedrooms, and a dressing room.

A full basement provides approximately 3,500 square feet with 10-foot ceilings, a kitchenette, two bathrooms, and ample storage. The property also includes two additional loft apartments with private entrances and separate electric and gas meters. Recent improvements include a new roof (2023), new downspouts (2022), and mechanical upgrades supported by six HVAC units. The location provides easy access to nearby restaurants, bars, shopping, and major routes including 1-95 for Center City Philadelphia, NJ, and NYC.
