If you appreciate original detail and the beauty of modern-day finishes, and amenities, you will love 616 S Front Street, in the charming Queen Village section of Philadelphia. Originally built in 1774 and later expanded in the 1830’s, and again in the 1950’s, this gorgeous, historic Federal style townhome has been magnificently restored and renovated over the years with no expense spared.
Offering nearly 2,100 sf of living space, this 3-bedroom, 2-full and 1 half bath home is the ‘one’ you’ve been searching for. The formal living room features one of 5 fireplaces, this being wood burning. Next is the large dining room with custom-built sideboard and storage, to accommodate your more formal dining experiences. Just before you enter the kitchen, check out the beautifully tiled half bath. The kitchen is custom in every way, featuring tons of storage space, marble counters, built in dining table and a separate waterline for your Espresso machine. As for appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Jenn-Air ‘Downdraft’ range and Bosch dishwasher. Let me not forget to mention the gas fireplace! This kitchen is a true dream for the chef in the family. Just behind the kitchen is the large wine room with the capacity of storing well over 250 bottles. Not that you’ll need it but the wine room also offers additional storage. From this area you can access the side yard which grants access to the beautiful patio/garden area and gated 2 car parking.
Up on the 2nd level you’ll find 2 spacious bedrooms. The 1st you’ll come upon is in the rear of the home and boasts vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace and large custom built, walk-in closet. Just outside of this bedroom is the bathroom, featuring dual sinks and glass tiled spa shower.
In the 2nd bedroom you’ll appreciate the custom built-in closets and drawers as well as the warmth of the gas fireplace. The bathroom closest to this bedroom is magnificent! Not only is it beautiful, in all white, it offers dual sinks, a large soaking tub/shower, gas fireplace and thoughtfully designed built-ins, featuring wardrobe pull-down, clothing rods and soft-close drawers.
The last bedroom is on the 3rd level. This room was used as the office/study by the current owners and features gorgeous built-in cabinetry, an electric fireplace and, like the front bedroom on the 2nd floor, impressive views of the Delaware River.
Before heading outdoors, be sure to check out the high and dry, stone basement for all of your storage needs.
Out on the rear patio is where you’ll enjoy your coffee, cocktails, and dining alfresco. This too is where you will access your 2-car, gated parking, a rare find in the city.
This exclusive property is located within the desirable Meredith School Catchment as well as within walking distance of many of the best restaurants Philly has to offer.
616 S Front St is quite the find, and one that you’ll want at the top of your list. Call today to schedule your personal tour!
