About This Home

As of March 2024

Have you been dreaming about owning a home in the McIntire District? Well, this is your opportunity! The 1740 Curwen house is beautifully nestled among 18th & 19th century homes, moments from the Ropes Garden & Chestnut Street Park. 1st floor offers a gracious living room w/a brick fireplace w/antique Rumford Roaster, dining room, sunny kitchen with French doors to the garden, a private office/library w/lovely built-in bookshelves, & a full bath. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms--one with an 18th century paneled fireplace surround---a family room, & another full bath. Generous ceiling heights throughout; every principal room has 2 or more window exposures providing bright light throughout the day. The house was moved to this location in 1946 (see the pics!) when a substantial addition was built. So it sits on a modern basement, which provides for excellent storage, workspace, & tidy laundry area. Recent improvements include on-demand hot water, 4 mini-split a/c systems, blown-in insulation.
