About This Home
Original character and modern luxury blend seamlessly together at 304 S Philip Street. Nestled on one of the best blocks in Society Hill, the 300 block of Philip is a quiet, picturesque, cobblestone-lined street. Upon entering, you're greeted with recently refinished hardwood floors, exposed beams, and designer light fixtures. An open concept living/dining room, the main floor features the first of four fireplaces and original stone work. Just past this space is the entrance to your private patio, featuring newer flagstone tile. The oversized kitchen is an absolute dream. Carefully renovated, this timeless space features a La Cornue range, dual dishwashers, a paneled refrigerator, an ice maker, and an abundance of storage. A perfect entertaining space with seating at the island, room for a table in front of the fireplace, a two-story cove, and a powder room, rounds out the garden level. Ascending the stairs, you're met with the first full bathroom. No expense was spared here, where the bronze shower enclosure is the highlight of this room. Continuing up, you'll find original hardwood flooring throughout the rest of the home. The sun-drenched den is an ideal space to cozy up in by the fireplace, but can easily be converted into a third bedroom. A generously sized bedroom with custom closets that blend seamlessly into this space, and whitewashed brick, wraps up this level. The top floor of this home is an absolute treat, where the possibilities are endless. Take the stairs up to the loft, and take it all in! Exposed beams, European tile, a gas stove, and a renovated full bathroom, all within this magnificent space.
This spectacular home also comes with quite a historic pedigree. Circa 1818, this was one of the first residences to be included on the Philadelphia Historic Register. This was once the hub of Stephen Girard(beloved banker, shipping magnate, and philanthropist) and his famed captain. Later home to home to Adolf DeRoy Mark, a prominent mid-century modern architect, responsible for a great deal of development throughout Society Hill.
Located in the McCall school district, Society Hill is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in all of Philadelphia. Charm, character, sense of community, and pride in the neighborhood are all evident the minute you walk outside your home. A short walk to Head House Square, you can enjoy the farmers market here every Sunday, as well as numerous restaurants and cafes. The seller will provide 1 year of pre-paid parking at the garage just off of HHS.
