Property Description

The buyers who got into Passyunk Square didn't wait for confirmation. Neither did the ones who moved into Queen Village before the restaurants came. This is that moment. Sandwiched between Passyunk Square and Queen Village — two of Philadelphia's most celebrated and consistently appreciating neighborhoods — this block is where the next ten years of value is being built right now. James Beard-recognized restaurants, destination parks, independent shops, and a walkable energy that Rittenhouse buyers have been paying a premium for are already here. The difference is the price tag hasn't caught up yet. It will. The home itself needs no apology. All the amenities of Rittenhouse — none of the Rittenhouse price. A Savant whole-house smart system runs everything effortlessly in the background. A private elevator connects all five levels — moving catering to the rooftop, guests to the theater, or groceries to the kitchen without breaking stride. Below, a two-car garage finished with custom cabinetry, interlocking mats, and EV charging sits ready. And with 7+ years of tax abatement remaining, this home makes as much sense on a spreadsheet as it does in person. Your arrival starts at street level, where warm limestone opens a dialogue between classical elegance and contemporary confidence. Professionally landscaped planters frame the entrance. A lit keypad welcomes you in. The foyer offers custom lighting, elevator access to every floor, a coat closet, discreet garage entry, and a ground-floor bedroom suite with its own private patio — equal parts creative studio, family haven, or nanny's retreat. Descend to your private club. The lower level is a subterranean retreat built for the way you live — custom media room, wet bar, wine wall, and a bathroom designed around the refined ritual of a good cigar. White oak stairs with custom black iron railings and step lighting connect every floor, each landing a gallery wall waiting for your collection. The second floor is where the house earns its keep. A gourmet kitchen in sophisticated sage with brass hardware, ceiling-height custom cabinetry, quartzite waterfall counters, fired clay sink, custom hood, pot filler, and an island built for morning coffee and late-night conversations. The dining room chandelier presides. The living room pulls light from two banks of windows and anchors around a gas fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. Step through to the deck — BBQ, flower boxes, and the kind of outdoor space that makes staying in feel like going out. Third floor: three bedrooms, including an ensuite with custom wallpaper, lighting, mirrors, and cabinetry — and a laundry room that makes you want to do laundry. Fourth floor: yours completely. A corner primary suite with light from multiple exposures, remote-controlled blinds, dual custom closets, radiant floor heating, egg tub with city views, spa shower, double vanity, powder room, and wet bar — everything you need before you ascend. The fifth-floor rooftop is Philadelphia at its best — 360 degrees of skyline, stadium lights, and Fourth of July fireworks at eye level. Outdoor kitchen with BBQ, refrigerator, and sink. Fire pit. Outdoor television. Fully irrigated cedar flower boxes. Your private garden in the sky. Early adopters don't wait for the neighborhood to arrive. They buy before it does — and this address is proof that the best of South Philadelphia is already here, with a decade of appreciation still ahead. The window is open. It won't be forever.
