About This Home

As of March 2024

A perfect pied-a-terre. The 1771 Hall-Wister House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, exudes all the charm and character of old Philadelphia. Having been meticulously preserved, yet updated for modern conveniences with a show "room ready" kitchen, it offers the best of the old and new. Located in the heart of Society Hill, it features original random-width pine flooring throughout, built-in cabinetry, chair rails, bookcases and closets. Two fireplaces, one on the second and one on the first floor are faced with antique Delft tile. The first floor dining area walks out, through new French doors, to the enclosed brick patio with built-in planters. The space contains a namesake Wisteria vine and fully functioning fountain. The compact, yet delightful kitchen has been recently renovated by J. Thom Cabinetry. New appliances include a stainless steel Meile dishwasher, Summit refrigerator, microwave, range hood, and Bertazoni stove. The soap stone countertops nicely balance the custom, glass-front cabinets and white brick backsplash. Two corner windows make for a bright workspace. Up the original, pie shaped spiral staircase, the second floor contains the main bedroom with original decorative fireplace set into a period woodwork wall and crown molding. A full 3 piece bath with a window is located on this level. In addition to a convenient powder room, a second bedroom or den/office space is located on the third floor. Two dormer windows, providing both eastern and western exposures, brighten the space while a large closet provides plenty of additional storage. The basement is clean and dry. It houses all mechanicals plus offers plenty of room for storage and laundry. Main sewer line replaced in 2015. New hot water heater installed in 2016. This charming colonial townhome is located close to all that Center City Philadelphia has to offer including shopping, restaurants, parks, the brand new Museum of the American Revolution and numerous historic sites!
