Tucked away on one of the most picturesque, tree-lined blocks in Society Hill, 632 Spruce Street is a rare offering—a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath historic townhouse spanning 3,775 square feet with the coveted luxury of a two-car attached garage. Just ONE block from Washington Square Park and built in 1805, this 18-foot-wide residence has undergone a comprehensive renovation—seamlessly blending timeless architectural integrity with elevated modern living. Every inch has been thoughtfully reimagined to offer refined city living in one of Philadelphia’s most coveted neighborhoods. Enter through a gracious marble vestibule into a sun-soaked home graced by soaring ceilings, southern exposure, and original wide-plank pine floors—each one refinished to perfection. The formal living room features an elegant wood burning fireplace and oversized windows, while the dining room is appointed with custom built-ins and exquisite wall sconces. Throughout the home, over $85,000 in electrical upgrades were completed, including a new switchboard, added lighting, integrated sound wiring, and decorative enhancements. The kitchen has been updated with a striking new backsplash, radiant heat limestone floors, and a sunlit breakfast nook that overlooks the rear courtyard and expanded garage—now accommodating two side-by-side vehicles. The second floor is anchored by a showstopping primary suite featuring a barrel-vaulted ceiling, a dramatic curved skylight, and a charming sitting area framed by bay windows. Custom Roman shades and re-stained hardwoods complete the look. The en-suite bath features a freestanding tub, marble tile, and exquisite, timeless hardware, creating a spa-like retreat within the comfort of home. A generous walk-in closet provides abundant storage. Just down the hall, the moody family room has been enhanced with expanded entry access, custom millwork, built-ins, and integrated speaker wiring. A laundry room completes the second floor. The third floor offers two versatile bedrooms. The front bedroom is beautifully bright, wrapped in Cole & Son designer wallpaper, with new floorboards, custom closet units, window shades, and plush Stark carpeting. The rear bedroom, currently used as a cheerful playroom, features handsome beamed ceilings, bold Missoni carpeting, and direct access to a private deck with new patio flooring—creating a breezy escape in the heart of the city. Between the two rooms lies a fully renovated marble bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower—thoughtfully designed for both elegance and functionality. The fourth-floor bedroom offers a peaceful escape beneath pitched ceilings and features an arched window that draws in soft natural light while framing leafy treetop views. The room’s tranquil palette, plush carpeting, and cozy proportions make it the perfect guest retreat, reading nook, or private home office. An impeccably updated full bath on this floor has been gut renovated, and two new skylights complete the airy, top-floor experience. The current owners have spared no detail in their extensive and tasteful renovations: a fully rebuilt roof with copper siding and reinforced masonry (2020), removal of all knob-and-tube wiring, new water pressure pump, waterproofing in the basement, refinished original marble in the entryway, and full Google Home integration, including Nest climate control, doorbell, and security cameras. The unfinished basement has been fully gutted and sealed, ready for future expansion. Located within the sought-after McCall School Catchment, this home offers not only historic elegance and high-end upgrades, but also access to acclaimed restaurants, cultural institutions, and the lush expanse of Washington Square Park. 632 Spruce Street is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a turnkey masterpiece in one of Philadelphia’s most beloved neighborhoods.
