Planned and built in the Georgian style while Thomas Jefferson was still President, this charming, historically certified property is located in the Society Hill Historic Preservation District. Expanded trinity with wood flooring throughout. Full of character on a centrally located, desirable block. The street-entry level features a lovely living room with an exposed brick fireplace, a half bath, a rear two-story window wall currently used as a natural-light indoor garden area with a cozy conversation nook, a coat closet, and access to a brick patio with new fencing. This private outdoor space includes a five-foot-deep Canadian cedar hot tub under a gazebo with side privacy panels, plus a barbecue or garden area. Stairs lead down to a lower-level kitchen with separate street access and a full dining area with a brick fireplace and wood flooring. The second floor has one bedroom with a brick fireplace and wood flooring, as well as a large primary bathroom with a soaking tub, double vanity with granite top and vessel sinks, and a glass block wall that allows for abundant natural light. The third floor features another bedroom with wood flooring and access to a privacy-walled roof terrace—ideal for private sunbathing or moonlit cocktails. The fourth floor is a dormered third bedroom. One level below the kitchen is an unfinished basement, which includes a massive arched walk-in fireplace—possibly originally used for cooking. New water heater (2020) and roof (2018).
