    What's special

    Step into this exquisite Society Hill townhome, designed by the internationally renowned architect I.M. Pei. The entrance welcomes you with natural stone flooring, transitioning to maple hardwood, leading to a gourmet kitchen on the left. The kitchen features high gloss wood cabinetry, a quartz countertop, and professional-grade appliances, including a Miele gas burner stove and a Liebherr stainless steel refrigerator. Enjoy your morning coffee in the cozy breakfast nook adjacent to the kitchen, complete with closets for ample storage. The living room is a serene retreat with a wall of windows that overlook a tranquil brick patio, embodying biophilic design principles. For your convenience, a powder room is also located on this floor. Ascend the iconic circular staircase to the second floor, where you'll find a study with a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, a 9 foot ceiling, and a large custom window offering views of historic 3rd Street homes, including the residence of Philadelphia's first mayor. This floor includes an updated full bathroom with a glass-enclosed stall shower and a spacious rear bedroom. The third floor has two additional bedrooms, each with large closets and two modern full bathrooms with skylights. The finished basement offers a versatile space, perfect for a home gym, media room, or additional storage, and includes a laundry area. Gated parking for one car is available directly behind the home in the association lot. Located in a historically preserved neighborhood, this home is surrounded by enchanting green spaces such as Three Bears Park, Independence Park, and the upcoming 11.5-acre park from the I-95 capping project.
