Property Description
Original wood floors, multiple fireplaces, and exposed brick bring warmth and authenticity throughout the home. The street-level entry opens into a welcoming living room centered around a brick fireplace, paired with a convenient half bath. A dramatic two-story window wall brings in natural light and creates a serene indoor garden/conversation area—perfect for morning coffee or evening wind-downs. From here, step out to a private brick patio with new fencing and a five-foot-deep Canadian Cedar hot tub under a privacy-screened gazebo, plus space for grilling or gardening—your own quiet oasis in the heart of the city.
The lower level features a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters, full cabinetry, and pantry storage, along with a generous dining area framed by another brick fireplace. A separate exterior entrance makes this level especially convenient for guests, deliveries, or hosting.
Upstairs, the second floor offers a bright bedroom with fireplace and a beautifully updated primary bath with soaking tub, double vanity, and a striking glass-block wall that filters natural light throughout. The third floor features another comfortable bedroom with access to a private roof terrace—ideal for sunbathing, quiet work-from-home moments, or moonlit cocktails. A charming fourth-floor dormered loft serves as a third bedroom or flexible creative/office space. Additional storage is found in the lower basement, complete with a massive arched walk-in fireplace—an unforgettable architectural detail.
Recent updates include a new water heater (2020) and roof (2018). A premium home warranty is in place through 10/31/26 for added peace of mind.
With an exceptional Walk Score of 99, this home is perfect for walkers and bikers. Enjoy unmatched access to Society Hill's best amenities—just moments to Pennsylvania Hospital, Headhouse Square, Acme, CVS, historic landmarks, and some of Philadelphia's most celebrated dining and entertainment.
This is a truly special opportunity to own a beautifully preserved, move-in-ready historic home in one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods—ideal for professionals, downsizers, or investors seeking long-term value.
