Property Description

This exceptional light filled 3 story townhouse is one of 37 contemporary townhomes designed by internationally acclaimed architect I.M.Pei to create a smooth transition from the modern Society Hill Towers to the colonial architecture of the surrounding neighborhood. Located on a quiet walkway, with its walled back garden and the west lawn and manicured gardens of Society Hill Towers at its front door, this residence is a quiet oasis in the heart of Society Hill. The entrance hall opens into a living room with gas fireplace, built in bookcases, and open wet bar which leads to an intimate sitting room flanked by a wall of windows opening to the landscaped garden. The first floor can accommodate a large group for entertaining as guests can easily move through the rooms and even outside into the garden in warmer weather. A wide, open, central staircase illuminated by a skylight runs the full 4 floors of the house. The second floor has 9'high ceilings with floor to ceiling windows and a powder room with a marble floor. A formal dining room overlooks the landscaped garden of Society Hill Towers from an iron balcony. A leaded glass pocket door leads to a custom kitchen with Neff cabinets, granite counter tops, a built in butcher block cutting board, and Sub-Zero, Bosch KitchenAid and Thermador appliances. An informal sitting room off the kitchen overlooking the garden to the west is a great gathering space for family and friends. The floor to ceiling window is flanked by leaded glass doors for privacy. The third floor is a large master suite, with a walk-in closet and two full baths, one with an oversized shower and the other with a whirlpool tub and washer/dryer. The second bedroom has been transformed into a master den. The lower level has been finished to include a bedroom, full ensuite bath, and a game room. The walled back garden with a bluestone patio, mature landscaping and gurgling fountain is a quiet retreat from the city. It includes a storage shed. The garden exits to an assigned parking space in a central parking courtyard behind the houses, surrounding the second casting of Gaston Lachaise's sensuous sculpture "Floating Figure." This home was extensively renovated when purchased by the current owners including all new windows, roof and A/C. A new high efficiency gas hot water underfloor and baseboard radiant heating system was installed as part of the renovation. With eight separate zones, practically every room is its own zone.
