Property 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.
