Majestically positioned on the corner of S 9th & Bonaparte Court, this 20-foot-wide Philadelphia Federal townhome, dating back to 1817, has been tastefully updated to blend historic charm with modern convenience. The home’s entrance vestibule opens through elegant double glass doors into spacious living and dining rooms, each anchored by beautiful fireplaces featuring hand-carved mantels crafted from prized King of Prussia blue marble. There are six (6) total fireplaces throughout. The esteemed Philadelphia architectural firm Voith & Mactavish oversaw the thoughtful restoration, preserving the home’s period pine floors, plaster walls, fireplace mantels, and intricate millwork, ensuring a timeless, refined elegance throughout. Just steps away, a light-filled chef’s kitchen awaits, equipped with Leicht cabinetry, Subzero, Miele, Bosch appliances and a wine cellar. The front and back windows bathe the interior with natural light and has a rear door to your garden for snipping fresh herbs. The center hall also leads you through to a 2nd door leading to the large garden which has been meticulously designed and manicured. The garden area is private and perfect for entertaining family and friends or just relaxing while reading a book. Again, the gracious center hall features an elegant, winding staircase leading to the upper floors. The second floor is dedicated to a serene primary suite with ten-foot ceilings, a spacious bedroom, large walk-in closet and an ensuite Carrara marble bathroom. The third-floor houses two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry area with Miele washer and dryer. The top floor, currently used as an office and library, offers the potential to become a charming fourth bedroom, with room to add an additional bath. This residence includes a 1-car garage parking spot (HOA $125/month) and an optional 2nd car parking space, adjoining the house ($380/mo.) Located near public transportation, Philadelphia’s historic district, Washington Square Park, and within walking distance to top schools, dining, and shopping, this home perfectly balances luxury, history, and convenience.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
