About the Listing OCFRLTY - 3140639
Nestled in the storybook courtyard of English Village, this charming home is a true jewel of historic character in the heart of Rittenhouse Square. Evoking the charm of a London-style mews, English Village is an oasis of tranquility tucked within Center City. One of the south-facing larger homes in the Village, this beautifully preserved residence has been cherished by only two owners over the past fifty years, a testament to its enduring appeal. Enter through an arched wooden door past mature hollies and a private patio. Sunlight pours through south-facing windows into the spacious living room, where classic oak floors, a decorative Art Deco marble fireplace, built-in shelving, and mirrored étagères create a warm and elegant atmosphere. A gently curved archway leads to the formal dining room featuring picture-frame molding and a beautiful chandelier. Folding glass doors open to a garden room with vaulted skylights and direct access to Chancellor Street. The kitchen offers generous counter and storage space, while the finished basement provides a retro mid-century den with built-ins, recessed lighting, a half bath, vintage kitchenette, and a full laundry room—ideal for additional living space. Upstairs, the second level features a sunlit primary bedroom with a casement window and decorative balconette. A connected middle room offers flexibility as a second bedroom, dressing room, or office. This level also includes a full bath with beautifully preserved original subway tile, hexagonal floors, built-in tub, and multiple closets. The third level offers more spacious bedrooms and another full bath featuring original tilework and tub, plus a skylight for even more natural light. A rear study with built-in bookshelves can easily function as a fifth bedroom or workspace. Located on one of Philadelphia’s most architecturally distinctive blocks, English Village is the best of Rittenhouse/Fitler Square with the city’s premier restaurants and shops just footsteps away. The Schuykill River Trail is two blocks away. The award-winning Greenfield School is less than three blocks away. A commuter’s dream centrally located to 30th Street Station, Financial District, University City and City Hall. This is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the larger residences in this distinctive and beloved community.
