The location is the rest of the story. You're on a cobblestone block surrounded by centuries of history, steps from Philadelphia's best restaurants, cafes, boutiques, gourmet markets, and the landmarks of Independence National Historical Park. The home is in the McCall (K 8) public catchment, with St. Mary Interparochial, St. Peter's School, and Friends Select nearby, plus the city's magnet high schools. Four of Society Hill's historic houses of worship are within a short walk: St. Peter's Episcopal, Old Pine Street Presbyterian, Old St. Joseph's, and Society Hill Synagogue. Getting around is easy: a near-perfect Walk Score, the Market-Frankford El, Regional Rail, and PATCO all close, with quick I-95, I-676, and Ben Franklin Bridge access and the airport about 15 minutes away.
