Property Description
A rare, 29-foot-wide double lot in the heart of Washington Square West sets the stage for this extraordinary nearly 4,200 sq. ft. turn key contemporary residence. With its timeless brick façade, oversized bay windows, Brazilian hardwood floors throughout, and gated courtyard entry & 2 CAR PARKING , the property offers a commanding presence . Once inside, meticulous updates and thoughtful design unfold in every direction, creating a home equally suited for gracious entertaining, comfortable family living, and the quiet enjoyment of refined city life on elegant tree lined street .
At the core of the main level, a fully redesigned chef's kitchen takes center stage. Outfitted with a classic Wolf range and wall ovens, panel-ready Sub-Zero refrigeration, Bosch dishwasher, quartz countertops, and every modern convenience, it is as functional as it is elegant. An expansive island with breakfast bar flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating a natural centerpiece for daily life and a setting where gatherings, both large and small, feel effortless. Wide windows bathe the space in natural light, highlighting the home's impressive scale and subtle architectural details.
The home's rare width and ceiling height are felt on every floor, offering generously proportioned rooms and a sense of openness seldom found in city living. Multiple living areas allow for flexibility - whether as formal entertaining , casual family retreats, or creative spaces tailored to the owner's lifestyle. A full-height elevator provides ease and comfort, connecting every level, from the lower-level in-law/au pair suite to the stunning rooftop terrace with sweeping views of the Philadelphia skyline.
The private quarters are equally remarkable. With five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, the residence adapts to every stage of life and style of living. The second floor primary suite serves as a elevated sanctuary , with space for a private sitting area, abundant natural light, a spa-like bath, spacious walk in closet and a private balcony that offers a place of calm and indulgence. An adjacent room off the primary suite and den overlooking the formal living room can serve as a perfect office, informal living room, library, or a convenient nursery and playroom, to name a few. Additional bedrooms provide comfort and privacy for residents and guests alike, while dedicated spaces include an upper-floor laundry room and an abundance of well-appointed closets and storage.
Outdoor living is as thoughtfully designed as the interiors. A gated front courtyard welcomes with elegance and privacy, while the expansive rear patio and rooftop terrace provide opportunities for dining al fresco, quiet reflection, or lively entertaining against the backdrop of city lights.
Every detail of this residence reflects a balance of history and modernity, permanence and comfort. The timeless architecture grounds the home in tradition, while careful updates ensure it meets the demands of contemporary living. Its scale, width, and flexibility allow it to function beautifully for both intimate daily life and grander occasions. The property is complete with the convenience of a gated driveway, oversized attached garage with EV charger, and an additional private staircase to the lower-level in-law suite. Perfectly located within the sought-after McCall School catchment and just seconds from the finest dining, shopping, and cultural experiences of Washington Square West , this home embodies the essence of Philadelphia living at its most distinguished.
