    What's special

    SOCIETY HILL GEM: Steps from picturesque Washington Square Park, tasteful updates seamlessly blend with character and original details in this one-of-a-kind residence. Dating back to the early 1800's, once a candy shop and the only retail space located on this tree-lined block of Spruce Street, this light filled historic home is warm and inviting. Enter into a charming living room with a Vermont Castings wood-burning fireplace and a beautiful bay window; perfect for a window seat or terrific for plants. A Separate dining room with original moldings and an additional bay window flows into a large kitchen. Kitchen has been renovated with all stainless steel appliances, Blue Star stove, Bosch dishwasher, new cabinets, and granite counter tops. Kitchen leads into a multi-purpose room with attached powder room. Step out of the French doors into a serene outdoor garden that lets out to Manning Walk. This recently landscaped garden is enclosed by brick and shaded by four mature flowering trees: perfect for entertaining. Original stairs lead to the second level that features a bedroom currently set up as an adorable nursery, 2 completely renovated full baths - one with amazing soaking tub and the other with huge walk-in shower, and the master bedroom featuring high ceilings and large windows that offer great light, 2 large closets, and a private deck that overlooks the garden. Full size washer/dryer also on this level in separate laundry closet. Third floor is perfect for guest room/home office, sun-splashed with light from both northern and southern exposures. This townhouse offers refinished original wide plank pine floors throughout the entire home and floods of natural light. Situated in the heart of Society Hill in the McCall School District. Conveniently located one block from the supermarket, major gym, wine & spirits, dry cleaners, parking garage (with monthly parking), and Washington Square Park. Truly a must see Philadelphia historic residence.
