For sale, this lovely two-story condominium spanning 1,542 square feet with an expansive private rear patio, occupying a 1849 Gothic Revival town home. The Bouvier Townhouses carry a legacy befitting their architectural splendor — named for former owner Michel Bouvier, the great-great-grandfather of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, these storied walls have long attracted those with an appreciation for the extraordinary. Enter through an elegant facade graced with an intricate geometric flooring, marble trim, and the original wooden doors that have welcomed residents for over 175 years. Unit 2 unfolds gracefully across the entry floor, where the main living space commands attention with a stunning quatrefoil medallion marble fireplace and three south-facing windows that bathe the room in warm natural southern light. A generous bedroom suite follows, complete with a walk-in closet, a full bath, and direct access to the private rear garden. The substantial private brick patio of remarkable scale is perfectly suited for al fresco dining, a curated container garden, and bicycle storage. A dedicated storage shed and grill complete the outdoor amenities, while a private entrance from Bingham's Court adds a touch of exclusivity. The lower level presents a galley kitchen with quartz countertops, crisp white cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. A discreetly positioned laundry and additional storage are in the mechanical room just off the kitchen. The dining room flows naturally into the second bedroom suite, appointed with a full bath and generous linen closet. Set in one of Philadelphia's most coveted addresses, the residence places you mere steps from the storied cobblestones of Headhouse Square, the waterfront including the upcoming 12-acre capping project park, the Ritz theaters, historic national parks and sites, and the finest dining the city has to offer.
