Newly Furnished Luxury 4 BR in Historic Society Hill Rowhouse w/ Garage

Description

Set on one of the most storied blocks in Philadelphia, this fully furnished luxury three-story townhouse is a rare opportunity to live in the heart of historic Society Hill. All furniture is brand new, including a king-size bed, a queen-size bed, two full beds, and a trundle. The newly renovated private deck has brand new patio furniture, including a large sectional, dining table with chairs, massive umbrella, gas fire pit, and two heat lamps. The home blends its early-1900s character with contemporary comforts, offered for a single academic term while our family is abroad. Whether you are a visiting professor or medical professional, a relocating family, or a couple wanting to experience Philadelphia from its most walkable quarter, it is designed to feel like home the moment you arrive. Roughly 3,200 square feet unfold across three floors plus a finished lower level, with high ceilings, recessed lighting, and newly restored Brazilian cherry hardwood floors throughout. The main level pairs an expansive living room with a versatile dining and family area, and a kitchen built for anyone who loves to cook: top-tier Viking appliances (including a gas range with built-in grill), generous counters, and a large island. Beyond it, a private patio leads to a detached two-car garage—an almost unheard-of luxury in Society Hill. The second floor is a retreat: a light-filled primary suite with a spa-like ensuite (brand new Toto with bidet, double vanity, oversized glass shower), a flexible office and sitting room with French doors to the newly rebuilt private deck, a second bedroom with dual walk-in closets, a full laundry room, and a powder room. The third floor offers two more bedrooms and two full baths, one ensuite, one with a decorative fireplace, and all bright and well-proportioned. A finished lower level adds flexible space for a playroom, media room, gym, or storage. Central air and forced-air heat run throughout. Society Hill is a cobblestoned, tree-lined neighborhood where 18th-century brick rowhouses and gas lamps sit steps from the restaurants, museums, and green spaces of Center City. You are directly across from the General George A. McCall K–8 school, a real convenience for visiting families. It is a short stroll from Washington Square, a leafy oasis for morning runs and afternoons on the grass. Pennsylvania Hospital is around the corner, and the Jefferson medical campus is a 10-minute walk, ideal for medical faculty and fellows. Independence National Historical Park, the Liberty Bell, and Old City are all within a 10-minute walk, along with the cafés and restaurants of Society Hill, Queen Village, and Headhouse Square and its weekend farmers' market. Groceries and daily errands are just blocks away at Whole Foods and Acme. The location suits academic and medical professional life: easy access to Penn, Drexel, Thomas Jefferson, and Temple universities, plus Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and University City just across the Schuylkill. SEPTA transit is close, with quick connections to 30th Street Station for Amtrak up and down the Northeast Corridor, and the airport is a short train ride away. We have loved living here, and hope to find a considerate, respectful tenant who will enjoy the home and neighborhood as much as we do and care for the house as we would in our absence. If that sounds like you, we would be glad to answer questions and arrange a video walkthrough. There are few better places to call home for a season in Philadelphia than a quiet, historic block in the heart of Society Hill.
