Welcome to 1708 Green Street - a captivating piece of Philadelphia’s architectural heritage, nestled in the heart of the vibrant Spring Garden neighborhood on sought-after, tree-lined, Green Street. This meticulously restored 4,000+ square foot townhome, designed by the esteemed Willis G. Hale in the late 1800s, embodies the timeless grandeur of historic design with modern amenities and a spacious floorplan. This expansive home sits 18 ft in width on a 124-foot-deep lot and features 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 3 half bathrooms, spanning across 4 floors of living. Upon entering the vestibule into the living room, you'll be greeted by high ceilings accentuating the home's spacious and open feel, allowing natural light to dance across the beautiful hand-crafted tile floors. The room is anchored by the Victorian fireplace (wood burning) and gilded overmantle mirror, which are original to the home. Just past the living room is a conveniently located powder room. The formal dining room is adorned with striking woodwork, a bay of windows, and an intricate mantle, which are also part of the original build. This room also includes a walk-in coat closet with storage. The heart of the home is its expansive eat-in kitchen, which seamlessly blends classic design elements, state-of-the-art appliances, custom cabinetry, and exquisite soapstone countertops. The kitchen overlooks a large, lush, south-facing garden, which offers a private oasis in the city—a perfect setting for outdoor gatherings or quiet reflection amid the bustle of city living. The 2nd-floor family room, accessed through the main staircase or directly from the kitchen via the spiral stairs, is gracious and light-filled. Adjacent to the family room is the laundry room with a full-sized washer & dryer and a half bath. The Primary suite is located on the 2nd-floor front of the house amid the hallmark bow window on the front facade and is appointed with a hand-carved built-in wardrobe and features an en-suite dressing room & full bathroom. The 3rd floor of the home boasts 4 generously sized bedrooms, an office with built-in bookshelves, and a hall bathroom with a large single vanity, tub/shower combo, and linen closet. The 4th level is an open loft-style room, currently used as an artist's studio, with exposed beams, a skylight, a powder room, and incredible city views. Additionally, this home features a full basement that is used for storage. This remarkable townhome is not just a residence but a piece of Philadelphia’s rich architectural tapestry, in an incredible location within blocks to favorite restaurants, Whole Foods, iconic museums, the Schuylkill River trails, and all the city conveniences you could ask for.
