Property Description

Set gracefully between the Rittenhouse Square and Fitler Square neighborhoods—on one of Center City's most beloved, tree-lined residential streets—this stately historic townhouse blends timeless architectural grandeur with thoughtful, contemporary livability. Just steps from both Rittenhouse and Fitler Squares and within the highly regarded Greenfield School catchment, the home enjoys a serene, residential setting surrounded by classic brick and stone facades, all while being moments from the vibrant energy of downtown Philadelphia.

A gracious entry hall sets the tone, revealing high ceilings, original hardwood floors, detailed millwork, and tall windows that bathe each room in soft, natural light. The formal living and dining rooms retain the home's historic scale and presence, offering elegant proportions for both daily living and memorable entertaining. Just beyond, a serving kitchen—distinct from the dining room—features granite countertops, sleek stainless-steel appliances, and wine refrigeration, while the dining room itself showcases leaded-glass windows, high ceilings, ornamental mantel, and crown moulding, preserving the traditional townhouse flow and architectural integrity.

On the garden level, a second, grand chef's kitchen serves as a more casual gathering space and opens directly to the private rear garden—a rare and coveted indoor–outdoor connection in this neighborhood. A conveniently located powder room makes this floor ideal for relaxed hosting, weekend cooking, and everyday comfort.

The second floor features the primary bedroom suite at the front, complemented by a versatile rear room—perfect as a den, library, office, or sitting room—complete with a working fireplace, decorative mantel and easy access to a powder room on the same level. The home's thoughtful layout allows these rooms to adapt beautifully to evolving needs.

The third floor offers two additional well-proportioned bedrooms, each with excellent light and storage, along with a full bathroom. At the top of the home, the fourth bedroom with an en-suite bath opens directly to a roof deck with exceptional skyline views—an inspired setting for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or fresh air above the treetops. A partially finished basement houses mechanicals and provides added storage and utility space.

Perfectly positioned in one of the most connected areas of Center City, this address offers exceptional access to every convenience. The University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, CHOP, HUP, and Amtrak's 30th Street Station are all nearby, as are the Schuylkill River Trail, parks, cafés, and an abundance of dining and shopping destinations such as Southgate, Ambrosia, Parc, and The Dandelion. With its outstanding access to public transit, bike routes, and pedestrian-friendly streets, the neighborhood makes getting around easy and enjoyable for all.

Elegant, warm, and deeply rooted in the architectural fabric of Center City, this home offers both presence and practicality—historic detail paired with the ability to live comfortably and beautifully every day.
