Overview

Charming, historic trinity with significant original character. 1 bedroom plus family room (or guest bedroom). Absolutely lovely and so bright!! The character includes original woodwork, hardwood floors throughout, double hung windows, and just truly historic—real early 19th Century Philly (with modern amenities, of course). Renovated kitchen and bath. Central air. Perfect Rittenhouse Square location. Ideal for an owner occupant, an investor, or for an Airbnb—the current owner secured a variance, so this is a legal Airbnb! The 1st floor is a living and dining area with high ceilings and a kitchen that includes granite countertops, nice storage, and stainless appliances—a two burner range, mini fridge (with another fridge in clean basement), convection microwave, and a small oven. The 2nd floor offers a spacious and bright family room (or guest bedroom). Two west facing windows. Fireplace. Built-In bookshelves. Renovated full bath with skylight. Tile walk-in shower. The 3rd Floor offers a comfortable bedroom with ample closet and built-in storage space. Ceiling fan. The basement is dry and clean with excellent ceiling height. Walls were recently reparged. Washer and dryer. A refrigerator, and mechanicals including a new Bradford White hot water heater (2025). This historic trinity offers a spectacular location—99 WalkScore and within 2 blocks of Rittenhouse Square and tons of restaurants, shopping, coffee shops, and more.
