Property Description
This elegant Society Hill townhouse is an absolute delight. From the flemish-bond patterned historic brick front to the thoughtfully chosen interior finishes and renovations, you will be enchanted by this property at very first glance. This home was originally built in 1770, was entirely rebuilt in the 1970's, and has been meticulously updated by the current owner over the last several years. This is the perfect property for a discerning buyer who wants the best of modern city living in a historic neighborhood. Enter the first level with a wonderful open-concept layout perfect for entertaining or just relaxing by the wood-burning fireplace in the living room. Custom cabinetry flanks the dining area and the living room is punctuated by a full wall of glass that affords a wonderful view of the oversized south-facing walled garden w/water feature and 2-story trellis planted with ivy and twinkling lights. Luxury meets ultimate function in the recently renovated kitchen with custom pale gray cabinetry, high-end stainless appliances, and rare white granite counters imported from South Africa. Travel one level up the wide skylit staircase to a guest room (or office)and the master suite with working fireplace, two generous walk-in closets, and the renovated master bath with marble mosaic floor, rainfall shower, and high-end fixtures. The third floor is a wonderful retreat consisting of a 3rd bedroom, a tv/lounge area, and a huge workspace with large 'live edge' maple desk, ample shelving and cabinetry, and a fabulous 'secret' murphy bed hidden within a custom artisan-crafted wall of maple and reclaimed barnwood. The third floor full bath has a 'skylight hatch' with ladder and access to the 5 year-old roof and secret sunbathing spot. The basement level consists of: mechanical room with 2 year old high efficiency boiler & hot water heater and laundry, gym (or extra guest bedroom) with convenient Bilco door access to the street, and another full bath. Incredible Society Hill location just steps from Old City and Queen Village restaurants & nightlife- Headhouse Square Farmer's Market every Sunday in the Spring through the fall is just a couple of blocks away. This home MUST be seen in person in order to be fully appreciated!
