About This Home
As of October 2022Significant character in this historic (c.1818) home on one of Society Hill’s most desirable, quiet, cobblestoned streets. Renovated home with spectacular kitchen and all new baths. Quiet private patio. 2 bedrooms plus family room and bonus room, 2.5 baths (could be readily converted to a 3 bedroom by adding a wall on 2nd floor). Approximately 2,250 sq.ft. Hardwood floors, high ceilings, early 19th century character. 1-year paid parking in Head House Square Garage. This sunny home offers the perfect mix of character and renovation, plus an ideal location. Just blocks from all the best restaurants, coffee shops, entertainment, and shopping of Society Hill, Old City, Penn's Landing, and all that Center City has to offer. 2 blocks from the superb Head House Square Farmers Market (and the garage parking is right across the street). In the McCall School Catchment. NOTE-- One of the original homes placed on the Philadelphia Historic Register. This home was once owned by famed patriot, banker, and shipping magnate Stephen Girard. The home was later the residence of Adolf DeRoy Mark, the superb mid-century modern Society Hill architect.
