About This Property
This exceptional light filled 3-story, 3-en suite bedroom, plus
powder room townhouse with large garden and parking is one of 37
contemporary townhomes designed by internationally acclaimed
architect I.M.Pei to create a smooth transition from the modern
Society Hill Towers to the colonial architecture of the surrounding
neighborhood. Located on a quiet street, with its walled back
garden and the west lawn manicured gardens of Society Hill Towers
nearby, this residence is in a quiet oasis in the heart of Society
Hill. The arched red front door opens onto a sparkling marble-tiled
entrance hall. A full-sized marble-tiled dining room is on your
right, cleverly closed off by a pocket door, adjoins a handsome
kitchen with Corian countertops, pantry, built-in desk, and all the
amenities including gas cooking, microwave, double sink, trash
compactor and oak floors. A convenient powder room with marble
floor. Then an intimate sitting room flanked by a wall of windows
opens onto a secluded garden with a bluestone patio, mature
landscaping and granite fountain, a quiet retreat from the city. A
clever brick alcove hides your trash cans and grill. The garden
exits to an assigned parking space (currently $500 a year changing
to $600 in January) in a central parking courtyard behind the
houses, surrounding the second casting of Gaston Lachaise's
sensuous sculpture "Floating Figure." The first floor can
accommodate a large group for entertaining as guests can easily
move through the rooms and even outside into the garden in warmer
weather. An original I M Pei curved central staircase illuminated
by a huge skylight runs the full 4 floors of the house; a work of
art! The second floor has 9'high ceilings with floor to ceiling
windows in the formal living room with wood burning fireplace and
sliding glass doors onto a small wrought-iron balcony. An inviting
3rd Bedroom (currently used as a den) with built-in bookshelves, a
cedar closet, and a full bath with a shower overlooks the
landscaped garden. The third floor offers a large master bedroom,
with two walls of mirrored closets with integrated organizers, and
a master bath with marble countertop. A spacious 2nd bedroom offers
another wall of closets and a full bath with shower. The basement
offers a huge playroom/pool room/recreation room, a laundry room
and another big space for storage. This home has been maintained
through the years to the highest standard including a new roof, new
hot water heater, the best of both worlds with hot water heat and
central air, rebuilding the garden walls, adding a roof access in
the 3rd floor bedroom for HVAC access, wiring throughout for cable,
hardwired central security and fire alarm systems, yearly
mechanical maintenance, Pella windows, and too much more to
mention. Located in the McCall Elementary catchment zone. Steps
away from James Beard award winning Zahav restaurant, #1 restaurant
in America. (Public records indicate 2,520 sq. ft. which does
not include the basement)
