Description
Step into a piece of Philadelphia history—this iconic stone church-turned-multifamily property in the heart of Fishtown is bursting with character, opportunity, and smart updates. Built between 1845–1860, this soaring 60-foot structure originally housed the Siloam Methodist Church with modern upgrades, making it a truly unique opportunity for multifamily living, creative workspaces, or income-generating rentals.
With 128 panels producing between 34,000 and 36,000 kilowatt-hours annually, the system covers the majority of the building’s electric usage. It includes four inverters located in the full 3,500-square-foot basement, which also offers 10-foot ceilings, a kitchenette, two bathrooms, and extensive storage. Major renovations are already complete, including a brand-new roof added in 2023 and new downspouts installed in 2022.
The exterior offers privacy and convenience with an 8-foot white cedar fence, a beautiful stamped concrete courtyard, and a 22-foot electric door with space to park 2–3 vehicles. Inside, you're greeted by grand mahogany staircases and incredible architectural details throughout. The first-floor studio is a wide-open loft space with a kitchen, lounge, makeup area, and full bathroom—recently rented at $1,400 per day as a photography studio. Just above, the awe-inspiring sanctuary has 35-foot ceilings and stained glass windows.
The third floor serves as the owner’s unit, blending old-world charm with custom design. It features salvaged doors, a stunning bathroom with heated floors and stained glass shower, two large bedrooms, and a stunning custom dressing room.
Two additional loft-style apartments offer private entrances, large kitchens, bathrooms, separate electric and gas meters, and shared laundry. They are currently rented at $2,000 and $2,500 per month, giving you immediate rental income.
Comfort is ensured year-round with six HVAC units heating and cooling each area of the building individually. Best of all, the location is unbeatable—just steps from neighborhood favorites like Suraya, LMNO, Green Eggs Café, La Colombe, Riverwards Produce, and more. With quick access to I-95, Center City, New Jersey, and NYC, and located in The Adaire School catchment.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
