Own a piece of history, in the Heart of Philadelphia, with this stunning Victorian French Second Empire property dating back to the late 1890’s. This single detached property exudes historic charm, but with today’s modern conveniences – truly the best of both worlds and MOVE-IN READY! This grand Victorian is of solid brick construction (with added brick embellishments) and a slate Mansard roof to enhance the charm.

Inside you will find spacious, light filled rooms with 10’ & 11’ ceilings, hardwood floors, plaster walls, beautiful moldings, original glass transoms, stunning woodwork and original wooden doorknobs.
On the first level you will find a large living room, formal dining room, eat in kitchen, and dual staircases. Conveniently located off the kitchen is a “mudroom”, which includes a washer + dryer and pantry area and rear door leading to the yard. Yard is 80+ feet deep, and includes a newer concrete patio.
Nestled between the dining room and kitchen is the servants staircase, leading to the second level of the home.
On the second level there is a Master bedroom, with custom solid wood built in closet. Three additional undated bedrooms, and one full bathroom. Bathroom was fully renovated in 2020, inspired by Art Deco.

Continue up the staircase to the 3rd level, where you will find the servants quarters. This level includes a large bedroom, full bathroom with bathtub and small kitchen with time period appliances.
Carpet covered original hardwood floors are found in almost every room.

The extra large home length basement is unfinished, with concrete flooring, fieldstone and brick walls.
Updates include energy efficient heating system, that has three heating zones, one for each level of the home.
A 50 gallon hot water heater. 16 inch, 44r spray foam insulation in 2nd and 3rd floor roofs.

In May you can sit on your porch and watch the oldest Memorial Day Parade in Philly march past you. In December/January you will have a front row seat to several local Mummer Stringbands strutting up Richmond St.

This home has been family owned for close to 100 years. Rumor is, the sliding pocket doors are located in the walls of the brick archway. We never opened those walls to confirm this.

Close to Tacony Bridge, Betsy Ross Bridge, Interstate 95 and the NYC/DC Regional Rails. A ten minute drive to Center City and walking distance to the Delaware River Trail for biking, running, fishing and boating. Bridesburg is home to the historical Frankford Arsenal on the Delaware Waterfront boasting new cafes, pop-up eateries, the Blue Ribbon awarded Franklin Towne High School as well as new eccentric businesses reimagining industrial warehouse space into exciting ventures.
