This historic three-story, 2 Bed/2.5 Bath townhouse with a finished lower level is located just steps from Rittenhouse Square in the middle of the iconic tree-lined 1700 Block of Addison Street. The child-friendly side street is known for its year-round illumination and is, according to Huffington Post, “arguably the prettiest street in the entire Northeast.” The stunning home, built in 1804, features original brick walls on the ground floor, as well as beautiful hardwood floors and custom crown moldings throughout. All windows have been replaced with low-E, argon picture windows approved by the Philadelphia Historic Commission, including skylights with solar-powered shades. The home is equipped with a new state-of-the-art central air conditioning and heating system, Mitsubishi cooling/heating mini-splits in each of the bedroom suites, whole-house 4-stage Aquasana water filtration (including UV sterilization), and an alarm system with three security cameras. The gourmet kitchen comes with a Miele dishwasher and combi-steam oven, GE Monogram range and Profile refrigerator, ample storage with internal lighting, and granite counters. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and generously sized built-in closets. Two newly installed gas fireplaces, one in the living/dining room and one (custom-designed) in the family room create a cozy warm atmosphere for cold winter nights. Other highlights include a private parking spot directly behind the house, and a spacious deck with an electric, retractable awning and views of the Center City skyline. Living here offers you a central, quiet location within walking distance from restaurants, theaters, museums, parks, the Kimmel Center, University City, and all major hospitals.
