Welcome to this pristine residence, one of just 37 contemporary townhomes designed by internationally acclaimed architect I.M. Pei, nestled on a quiet street in the heart of historic Society Hill. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history that blends timeless mid-century modern design with sophisticated, urban living. This smart home was completely and elegantly renovated in recent years, with premium upgrades throughout, including all-new bathrooms and kitchen, wood flooring throughout ,a finished basement, custom built-ins, and so much more, offering turnkey luxury with enduring style. Step inside to a bright, open floor plan filled with natural light. Rich, authentic hardwood floors run throughout, complementing the home’s clean, modern aesthetic. The chef’s kitchen is a true showstopper, equipped with high-end appliances, a large waterfall island, and custom wood cabinetry providing ample storage and generous counter space. It flows seamlessly into a spacious dining area that opens to a private backyard through wall-to-wall sliding glass doors, perfect for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. Also on this main level is a beautifully finished full bathroom, adding convenience and flexibility for guests or first-floor living. Just beyond the garden lies your personal parking space, located in a central, beautifully landscaped courtyard behind the homes. At its center is the striking second casting of Gaston Lachaise’s sensuous sculpture, “Floating Figure”, a unique and elegant focal point that anchors the community. Additional guest parking space available in this area. One of the home's most remarkable features is the original curved central staircase, a sculptural masterpiece in itself, spanning all four floors and illuminated by a large overhead skylight. Truly a work of art. The second floor boasts a formal living room with large windows, a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and sliding glass doors opening to a charming wrought-iron balcony. Also on this level are two spacious bedrooms with ample closet space and a beautifully appointed full bath. The third floor is a sun-drenched retreat, featuring a gracious primary suite with stunning views of the Ben Franklin Bridge, a custom-designed spa bath, and extensive closet space. Another large bedroom with wall-to-wall windows, and a dedicated laundry room complete this level. The finished basement offers flexible living options, ideal for a home gym, media room, office, or guest space, along with a mechanical/storage room that adds practical functionality. Situated in the highly regarded McCall Elementary catchment zone, this residence is just steps from the city’s best offerings, including the award-winning Zahav restaurant, named the #1 restaurant in America. You’re also moments from Philadelphia’s premier dining, cultural institutions, parks, and hospitals such as Jefferson, Pennsylvania, and Cooper. This home is more than a residence, it’s an architectural treasure in one of Philadelphia’s most desirable neighborhoods.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
