About This Home
As of December 2024You can’t help but fall in love with the character and charm of this beautifully restored and renovated 4 story historic brick townhouse on a quiet street in the heart of Ringgold Place. Built in 1860, 1908 Waverly St is part of the National Historic Registry. It has been newly painted and has many updates, including a new electrical system, a new Rinnai on-demand combination hot water/boiler system (Tankless Industries) and all updated lighting. The front marble steps lead from the street into a fireside living room with a warm, sunny window seat overlooking the garden, coat closet and refinished wood floors. The street level entry opens into the combined dining room kitchen with stainless steel appliances, newly painted cabinets, exposed beams, terra cotta tile floor and then up a couple of stairs to the adorable, private brick enclosed patio. Located up the curved staircase are the two bedrooms with updated ensuite bathrooms, wood floors, closets and incredible natural light. Move right in and be a part of this vibrant Rittenhouse Square community in the Greenfield catchment. This home truly features the best of both worlds: the character and charm of a historic Rittenhouse home, combined with the updated kitchen, appliances, and comforts of a modern home, all in a highly-desired location! Avenue of the Arts, Museums, Universities, Hospitals, 30th Street Station, Fitler Square, Schuylkill River Park, and access to all major highways are close by.
