Property Description
A thoughtful 2013 renovation enhances light, livability, and contemporary elegance while preserving the home's remarkable architectural integrity. Original details abound, including soaring ceilings adorned with glass-cut chandeliers, marble mantels for the fireplaces, restored pine floors, and an extraordinary original circular staircase.
Enter through a historic vestibule into a grand central hall, leading to formal living and dining rooms of timeless sophistication. Each space is anchored by intricately carved gilded mirrors above Victorian-era marble mantels, complemented by hand-cut chandeliers and original pocket doors. Both the formal living room and dining room feature gas fireplaces, offering the perfect balance of historic elegance and modern comfort.
The sunlit, designer kitchen is both functional and striking, featuring a wall of windows, custom white cabinetry, integrated Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf appliances, dual sinks, and a wood-burning fireplace with built-in television. This inviting eat-in space opens directly onto a charming red-brick courtyard—perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living.
The fully renovated primary suite occupies the second floor and offers a serene retreat, complete with a five-piece bath, custom walk-in closet, dressing area, and in-suite laundry—all thoughtfully designed to honor the home's historic character, including original wood and marble mantels and graceful arched doorways. An additional guest bedroom with an en-suite bath completes this level.
The third floor features two generously sized bedrooms, a full bath with an antique clawfoot cast-iron tub, a dedicated laundry room, and a dramatic den or library with exposed wood-beam ceilings, built-in shelving, and two wood-burning fireplaces.
Crowning the home, the fourth-floor studio or bonus space is flooded with natural light, showcasing oak floors and a striking vaulted wall of windows that spans the full depth of the home—an inspiring setting for work or creative pursuits.
The expansive 505-square-foot roof deck is designed for both entertaining and tranquility, complete with built-in planters, cabinetry, water, electrical, and lighting. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Society Hill from sunrise to sunset.
The 1,108-square-foot finished lower level, once used as a professional office, provides exceptional flexibility for a home office, gym, media room, or guest suite.
Modern upgrades include three high-efficiency zoned HVAC systems, a new gas hot water heater, and a water pressure pump—ensuring comfort and ease of living.
Perfectly positioned just half a block from Washington Square Park, this one-of-a-kind historic residence offers immediate access to premier dining, shopping, and the very best of city living.
