Property Description
Featured on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places, this 1863 residence received a painstakingly thorough restoration from a collaboration between Philadelphia based STUDIO EDO and S.R.

Inside the 7,500-square-foot showplace, you'll find an ideal layout for comfortable living and lavish entertaining alike. Ceilings soar up to almost 14 feet tall over exquisite millwork, custom finishes, hardwood and stone flooring, and oversized windows on three exposures, delivering unprecedented natural light throughout.
The 5 feet raised first floor, gives the lightwells a traditional window height.

The state-of-the-art appliances include a vented La Cornue double oven range with a pot filler, two Sub-Zero refrigerators with freezers, two dishwashers and an ice maker. The massive center island adds a prep sink, seating and more storage, flanked by an open pantry with more counter space, a row of triple drawers and open lit shelving. A vitrine style butler's pantry brings even more room for display and storage along with an independent coffee station and two large-capacity wine refrigerators. A powder room, mudroom and outdoor access with a spacious storage bunker and a wood, charcoal and gas barbecue designed and built in Argentina complete the lower level.
