Description

Situated on one of the most coveted blocks in Philadelphia, this remarkable four-story townhouse spans an impressive 29 feet in width and has undergone meticulous refurbishments to create the ultimate space for elegant entertainment and family living. Originally constructed in 1857 by Samuel Spackman, this 5500 square foot Federal style home blends original ceiling moldings and design elements with contemporary luxuries. The L-shaped home has been renovated around an exquisite outdoor brick garden with a fountain, gas grill, and exterior doors which function as a service entrance for deliveries and landscapers. Carved mahogany entry doors open onto a classic foyer with marble floors and a striking, curved staircase. The expansive living room boasts high ceilings, oversized windows, intricate moldings and an original marble fireplace mantel converted to gas. The sizable dining room, with a high ceiling, intricate moldings and a gas fireplace, can accommodate large dinner parties. Moving toward the rear of the residence, one’s eye is drawn to a classic chef’s kitchen with coffered ceilings custom-designed by Arthur Works and oversized windows looking onto the garden. The centerpiece is the large Statuary marble island and the kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances including two Miele dishwashers, Wolf range top, two ovens, a warming drawer, and microwave and convection oven. A separate breakfast area with views of the landscaped garden provides a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Back stairs from the kitchen to the second floor entertainment area enables a wonderful flow for parties and family living. The second floor hosts a guest bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom (with radiant flooring), a home theater/media room, a cozy library with custom shelving, and a game room featuring a wet bar, and gas fireplace. The third level reveals a luxurious Primary bedroom suite complete with his and her dressing rooms with built-in closets and natural light. The large primary bathroom includes radiant flooring, a large tub with air jets, an oversized shower, a heated towel rack, commode, and washer dryer. The elevator landing on this floor leads to an outdoor area with plumbing for irrigation in place for additional outdoor deck possibilities. The fourth level comprises three additional bedrooms, serviced by a full hall bathroom (with radiant flooring). The lower level offers a playroom, laundry room, storage areas, mechanical room, cedar closet, and access to the oversized one-car garage. The custom 5-stop elevator designed with quartersawn oak runs from the garden level to the fourth floor. The proximity to Rittenhouse Square Park and a variety of excellent stores, restaurants, museums and entertainment options enhance the allure of this distinguished residence.

    "Busy city traffic rude drivers, but lots of life at night. Just visiting here but seem like an ok place to see. Lots of sports and things to do! Lots of construction everywhere and hard to get around , too many pot holes and traffic cones. Sad to see homeless on streets and tents along major routes! Be careful if traveling alone they have pan handlers walking up to cars at traffic lights and across from a hospital."
