About This Property
Welcome to 2203 Saint James Place, a stunning historic home
attributed to famed Philadelphia architect Frank Furness with
touches of timeless style from the Victorian Era centrally located
in Rittenhouse Square. By history this home was designed as
one of pair of homes for two sisters and now offers a rare
opportunity to own one of the few remaining preserved residential
properties attributed to Furness. With over 2,800 square feet
of pristinely kept living space, including four bedrooms, three and
half bathrooms, a steam sauna and a private in-law suite all filled
with preserved historical touches interspersed with carefully
chosen modern updates, this home provides the versatility and style
you've been searching for. Its entrance is a classic style
with a formidable double front door that leads into a vestibule
space accented by a pair of leaded glass windows and a vintage tile
floor. A pair of arched doors leads you from the vestibule
into the open concept first floor, that is perfectly laid out for
entertaining friends and family. This floor begins with a
nice-sized reception room that offers an alternative space to
lounge, chat and even mix cocktails, while still being connected to
the kitchen and the dining area. The kitchen is a classic
galley style with solid wood cabinetry, neutral granite
countertops, sleek subway tile backsplash and stainless steel
appliances with a large pantry space for extra storage. The
dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and features a fireplace and
built-in curio cabinets to add interest. French doors
seamlessly connect the dining room to the private outdoor deck to
create the perfect atmosphere for indoor/outdoor living (and
entertaining!). A gorgeous hand-crafted wooden stairwell
filled with intricate details takes you to the upper levels of the
home. On the second level, the main living area exudes
elegance with its high ceilings, custom molding and original
wood-burning fireplace. This room features two oversized
southern facing windows that flood the space with sunlight during
the daytime hours. At night, it becomes the perfect intimate
spot to relax and enjoy the warmth and calm provided by the
fireplace. A wet bar with marble tile accents and a powder
room were added outside of this living space for functionality.
Down the hallway, you'll find the library which is filled
with custom woodwork reminiscent of the Victorian Era. The
library is arguably the jewel of this home, filled with
one-of-a-kind finishes including an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling
bookshelves complete with a rolling ladder handcrafted specifically
for the space, an oversized built-in desk and an original fireplace
with an ornately detailed mantel piece and tile hearth. On
the third level, the main bedroom wows with another original
fireplace and mantel piece adorned with malachite-colored tile and
has two California closets. The main bathroom is fully
updated with classic light gray toned marble throughout, a walk-in
glass shower with rainfall showerhead, marble-topped double vanity
and heated flooring for a bit of extra luxury. There is
another large bedroom with a fireplace across from the main
bedroom. On the top floor you will find two more spacious
bedrooms and a renovated full bathroom complete with a bathtub.
The front bedroom has a walk-in closet and provides access to
a luxurious steam sauna, an ideal quiet spot to take a bit of time
to relax in after a long day. The lower level of the home is
an in-law suite with large flexible use space (currently used as a
gym), renovated full bathroom, kitchenette and a mudroom/utility
space with a separate entrance on Saint James Place. The
seller will pay for one year of parking in a spot located directly
behind the home which has close access to a new electrical outlet
rated to charge an electric vehicle with an acceptable offer.
Located in the award-winning Greenfield Elementary School
