Property Description

Step into a piece of Philadelphia's rich history with a visit to 168 Gay Street; an exquisite residence nestled in the vibrant Manayunk neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1877 as a Parsonage for the United Methodist Church, this distinguished residence has been a cornerstone of community life, serving first as a sanctuary for pastors and their families, and now as a private home.

The home is a masterclass in architectural elegance, offering 3,262 square feet of sophisticated living space, perfect for discerning shoppers. 4 of the bedrooms have their own bathrooms and cozy gas fireplaces. The original design of this property allows for the home to function easily as one grand home over 3 floors with lots of privacy.

As visitors step through the timeless vestibule flanked by French doors, they will be delighted by the grand parlor which sets the tone for the rest of the home. A covered porch off of the parlor gives you outdoor seating while sheltering a homeowner from the elements. A well appointed hallway half bath under the stairs adds comfort on this floor.

Continuing down the first floor hallway is a large living room where a second back staircase leads up to the second floor, granting a second way up. This first floor also offers a formal dining room adorned with chandeliers and decorative mouldings, perfect for hosting memorable gatherings. The high ceilings and oversized windows accentuate the spaciousness and light throughout the home.

Equipped to cook for a house full of friends and family, the custom kitchen has stainless steel countertops, marble backsplash, updated appliances and offers plenty of working space for culinary explorations. The kitchen easily accommodates meal prep and offers plenty of storage and counter space. A bonus room off the kitchen lends space for informal dining and extra storage, and is flooded with light from windows and a glass door, giving access to the large back patio. Charming and serene, the patio is perfect for outdoor entertaining, container gardening, dining or quiet reflection.

Practical features such as on-site private parking, updated windows, 9 zones of heating and cooling, recently replaced roof, 3 hot water heaters, and double laundry facilities enhance the functionality of this beautiful and remarkable residence. The basement is unfinished offering abundant storage and the potential for further customization.
