About this home
Tucked away on a peaceful cobblestone lane that ends at the back of St. Patrick’s Church is a cozy, buffered microcosm of calm nestled in the heart of Philadelphia’s iconic Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. 2040 Latimer Street is an upgrade-ready gem, offering an unmatched blend of historical charm and future promise.
This potential-packed 15’ wide two-bedroom two-bath property is unique among its immediate neighbors on Latimer, with an expanded first-floor plan. Enter into the Living Room with historic inlaid oak floors and proceed to the kitchen with two south-facing skylights. A kitchen door opens to a secure back alley that leads back to Latimer Street.
The Lower Level below the first floor is currently accessible through a hatch door under the stair. It houses mechanicals and offers plenty of storage room.
Up straight stairs, you will find the Second Floor Bedroom with a half bath and a washer/dryer hookup. The owner took a wall out decades ago, but this can easily be restored if more privacy is desired for the bedroom.
Continue up to the Third Floor Master Suite and a sunny Master Bath. Natural light dances throughout the Suite, courtesy of large windows that allow you to connect with seasonal changes. In the summer, the canopy provides shade; in the winter, light floods the space; and in the spring, exuberant pink blooms grace the view. A closet above the stairs could be reconfigured to add roof access should you decide to build a private deck with stunning Rittenhouse views.
This charmer in the heart of the famous neighborhood is a mere two blocks from the Rittenhouse Square Park, and is surrounded by the best of Philadelphia’s historic architecture. With three floors of inlaid hardwood, ample closet space, and radiator heat, it boasts a solid structure and is primed for your modern enhancements, awaiting your imagination and love.
With a walk score of 99 and within the desirable Greenfield School catchment area, the house is surrounded by celebrated city dining venues, the best boutiques, and every cultural activity that the city has to offer. An amazing dog park is blocks away at the Schuylkill River Park, and the Schuylkill River Trail will connect you to endless outdoor activities all the way to Valley Forge and beyond. With some upgrades and care, this property will deliver an unparalleled urban lifestyle of convenience and charm.
A Video Tour is available in addition to photographs and floor plans.
