About this home
Location. Scale. Presence. A home of this caliber is not simply built, it is envisioned, carefully designed, and brought to life with purpose. Welcome to one of Philadelphia’s most extraordinary private estates.
119-125 Catharine St. situated on a quaint, tree-lined stretch of Catharine Street in one of Philadelphia’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Queen Village, this all-brick architectural masterpiece spans approximately 11,000 square feet and is enhanced by tasteful front landscaping that adds to its curb appeal. Thoughtfully imagined and executed with the guidance of architects and a clear vision, every inch of this residence reflects a level of planning, care, and craftsmanship that is rarely achieved. Built from the ground up approximately 20 years ago with no expense spared, the result is a home that feels both timeless and enduring, constructed with true substance and intention.
Featuring 7 expansive bedroom suites, 8 full bathrooms, an elevator, and parking for 6+ vehicles, this solidly built residence ranks among Philadelphia’s most distinguished private estates.
A dramatic entry welcomes you with a grand center staircase and exquisite custom millwork throughout. Oversized windows flood the home with natural light, highlighting soaring ceilings, rich finishes, and a layout designed for both elevated entertaining and comfortable everyday living.
The main living level offers a seamless flow between a formal living room with a fireplace, den, breakfast room, and dining area, anchored by a massive, top-of-the-line chef’s kitchen featuring premium stainless steel appliances, extensive custom cabinetry, and exceptional workspace.
The upper levels host seven luxurious private suites, including a stunning primary suite with a spa-like bath and sitting room with a fireplace, along with a beautifully appointed upper-level library with a fireplace and separate study offering a quiet and refined retreat.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring a beautifully landscaped garden filled with lush greenery, a tranquil waterfall, hot tub, and a separate, show-stopping inground pool complemented by a private covered outdoor lounge terrace, creating a private oasis rarely found in the city.
Additional standout features include a fully finished lower level, home gym, movie theater, wine cellar, playroom/office/optional additional bedroom, attic storage, 4 balconies, premium Brazilian cherry hardwood floors throughout, multiple zoned HVAC systems, radiant heated floors, a sauna, and an elevator.
Crowning the home is a roof deck offering breathtaking 360-degree views, including Penn’s Landing, the waterfront, and the Center City skyline, providing the ultimate setting for relaxing or entertaining above it all.
This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special, one-of-a-kind estate in the heart of Queen Village, just moments from parks, playgrounds, cafés, charming neighborhood boutiques, and some of the area’s best dining and restaurants, and located within the award-winning, Blue Ribbon William M. Meredith School catchment. Schedule your private tour today and experience this exceptional residence firsthand....
