About this home
Once a house of worship — now your home of distinction. Welcome home to 308 Monastery Avenue, and extraordinary church-to-residence conversion in the heart of Roxborough/Manayunk, where soaring architecture meets refined, contemporary design. Originally part of a 19th-century parish school, 308 Monastery Avenue has been masterfully transformed into a single-family home offering 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms preserving its spiritual grandeur while embracing modern luxury.
Architectural Brilliance. A grand arched entry welcomes you into light-filled, voluminous spaces anchored by original masonry, vaulted ceilings, and custom chandeliers by Philadelphia artist Warren Muller. Lead and stained-glass windows filter daylight through rich color, casting a warm, cathedral-like glow that highlights the home’s historic soul. The open-concept main level flows effortlessly between living, dining, and kitchen — a contemporary layout framed by timeless craftsmanship. Coffered ceilings, arched passageways, and solid walnut floors create harmony between past and present. Formerly featured in Philly Magazine, Elle Decor, HouseBeautiful.com, Ask This Old House, and Hidden City Philadelphia.
The Chef’s Kitchen. Culinary Enthusiasts rejoice! Dual Wolf 4-burner ranges. Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine chiller. Oversized marble island for entertaining. Handcrafted Moroccan tile backsplash from NYC’s Mosaic House. A hidden built-in coffee station for morning rituals, tea in the afternoon or just overflow storage that can be displayed or hidden at a moment’s notice. Expanded Pantry and storage area. This kitchen is absolutely built for entertaining and adjacent to the welcoming and gorgeous Private Courtyard & Outdoor Sanctuary. Take your cocktail and exit through French doors discovering an Italian-inspired brick courtyard with custom blue-stone pavers creating a serene, private escape for outdoor dining and gatherings — a true rarity in city living.
Upper-Level Retreats. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a peaceful haven, featuring a spa-quality bathroom with marble finishes, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower with body sprayers. A balcony and reading loft offer quiet corners for reflection, custom fit closets, 10’ ceilings and a uniquely placed owners sitting/living room right outside of the door. Retreat to this level when the party wanes yet there is still the desire to take in a nightcap on the intimate front-facing balcony. Up on the third floor, guests can rest easy with three additional bedrooms, full hall bathroom and the laundry center - all enhanced by a skylight that floods the stairwell with natural light.
Bonus Features Unique to this Home. Secure underground garage with two deeded parking spaces and private secure storage. Energy-efficient systems including heating and air cooling, wifi controls and exterior lighting that makes it magical. TESLA Inverter System. An upgrade from the current owner allows qualifying Tesla Vehicles to back-power the electrical system using the vehicle battery during a power outage. (Model Depending). A short walk to Regional Rail, Fairmont Park trails, and Main Street Manayunk which offers dining and shopping experiences akin to a beautiful mountain town far away.
