About This Home

As of July 2025

Simply spectacular at every turn, this one of a kind Delancey jewel is located in a quiet location on the most coveted residential block of historic Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. Rarely does such a stunning property become available, offering meticulously restored original architectural details and refinements from its initial construction in the 1860s, with seamlessly integrated modern designs, renovations, updates and endless thoughtful amenities. Breathtaking features include soaring ceilings with light- filled floor- to -ceiling windows, elegant neutral decor, beautifully restored millwork and moldings, 8 fireplaces with ornamental mantles, plaster details, gleaming hardwood floors and gracious room sizes throughout with an easy and sensible flow for today's every day and entertaining lifestyles. The living spaces include a beautiful sun-filled front to back center foyer, dramatic living and dining rooms with gas fireplaces, gourmet kitchen with Sub-Zero and Dacor appliances, breakfast room with a wall of windows and fireplace on the street level, spacious paneled family room with original restored leaded glass windows and gas fireplace, laundry room , powder room and luxurious primary suite with renovated marble bathroom and walk-in closets on the second floor, richly paneled family room/office with gas fireplace and built-ins, second and third bedrooms each with renovated en-suite baths on the third floor and fourth and fifth bedrooms with a full renovated hall bathroom and expansive scenic terrace on the fourth floor . The entire residence is accessible from the grand sweeping central staircase or with the 5-stop elevator, which runs from the attached oversized garage/ mudroom spaces up to the 5th level. Move right in and enjoy the endless improvements made by the most recent stewards of this iconic property, just steps away from world class cultural destinations, renowned restaurants, unparalleled educational institutions, historical sites, recreational opportunities, trains, Philadelphia International Airport and more.
