About this home
Welcome to this exquisitely reimagined residence in Society Hill, originally designed by Louis Sauer and thoughtfully renovated to offer the perfect balance of modern luxury and timeless character. This four-bedroom, three-bath home with private parking showcases elevated craftsmanship and refined finishes throughout.
As you enter the foyer, you’re greeted by a bright and expansive living area featuring 11-foot ceilings, classic mill work, intricate custom moldings, a marble-surround fireplace, and beautifully preserved parquet oak floors. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and frame serene views of the tree-lined street. Just beyond the living room, a patio overlooks the lushly landscaped gardens, creating an inviting space for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
The gourmet kitchen is a showpiece of design, appointed with premium stainless steel appliances, inset cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, and a custom-tiled range hood. An adjacent dining area with custome built-in shelving and cabinetry provides a warm and elegant setting for entertaining.
Upstairs, the tranquil primary suite offers a generous walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and a freestanding soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms and a full hallway bath complete this level, blending comfort with thoughtful design.
The lower level is equally impressive, offering a spacious bonus room with over-sized windows overlooking the rear patio and garden—perfect for a media lounge or entertaining space. This level also includes a mudroom/bar area and an additional full bathroom for convenience.
A gated parking space directly behind the home provides ease and functionality in this coveted neighborhood. Nestled in the heart of a historically preserved community, residents enjoy access to beautiful green spaces like Three Bears Park and Independence Park. All of this, just steps from acclaimed restaurants, charming cafés, Ritz and PFS theaters, and a short 15-minute drive to the airport.
