Historic Society Hill home on a quiet, tree-lined block next to Three Bears Park. A rare offering in Society Hill, this home combines its historic character with thoughtful updates, set on a quiet, tree-lined block next to Three Bears Park. The entry leads into a newly opened first floor with the living, dining, and kitchen areas now connected. The living room features a chair rail and working gas fireplace with marble surround and classic mantel, and a custom built-in bar sits between the living and dining areas. A newly installed large custom sliding door provides generous light and direct access to a private brick patio with ample room for dining and entertaining. The updated kitchen has a gas range, soapstone countertops, and ample cabinet space, with a large window over the sink looking out to the patio. The second floor has two bedrooms, both with fireplaces, high ceilings, and original wide-plank pine floors. The front bedroom, overlooking the street, is large with three windows and a wall of built-in bookshelves and cabinets. The back bedroom could also be used as an office. The hall bath includes a private water closet, glass-enclosed shower, and two wall-mounted sinks with custom wood medicine cabinets. The third floor is the primary suite. The bedroom has a fireplace, crown molding, and three windows. The walk-in closet is fitted with custom built-in cabinetry, drawers, and a desk or vanity area. The primary bath has a glass-enclosed shower, a separate soaking tub, subway tile with decorative border, marble-look tile floors, and built-in linen storage. Above the suite, an attic provides ample additional storage. The newly finished basement adds living space and a half bath. Additional features include two-zone central air and heating, recessed lighting, hardwood floors, and original finishes and moldings throughout. Walking distance to Old City, Queen Village, Washington Sq West and so much more!
