About this home
Welcome to 1808 Delancey Street—a masterfully restored residence on Philadelphia’s most coveted block. Originally built in 1870, this home underwent a mid-century renovation in 1952 that stripped it of its historic charm. However, an 18-month restoration in 2017 revived its timeless elegance, seamlessly integrating modern luxury with historic detail.
The first floor opens to a lovely foyer that leads into a sophisticated living room. Custom designed with three elegant arched openings, the space is anchored by a ventless gas-burning fireplace with an Italian mantel, surrounded by graceful chandeliers. A newly added powder room provides convenience while maintaining the home’s refined aesthetic.
A few steps up, the dining room offers custom cabinetry, a wine fridge, and access to a private deck with an irrigation system—perfect for al fresco entertaining. Adjacent is a designer kitchen by J. Thom and Joanne Hudson, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and high-end appliances. An arched pass-through between the kitchen and dining room enhances both function and charm.
The second floor is thoughtfully divided into two distinct spaces. At the rear, a luxurious family room is equipped with a nine-speaker Dolby Atmos surround sound system and motorized shades, creating a premier entertainment area. This level also has an additional powder room.
At the front, the primary suite has been completely reimagined for elegance and functionality. The bedroom boasts a gas fireplace, a tray ceiling with dimmable perimeter lighting, and a walk-in closet with custom interiors. The spa-like en suite bathroom features custom cabinetry, a large tiled shower, and a Biobidet, elevating everyday comfort.
The third floor includes two additional bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. One bedroom is currently used as an in-home office, and this floor also features a well-equipped laundry room with custom cabinetry and a wash sink.
The fourth floor is a self-contained guest suite, complete with a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette. From this level, ascend to the stunning rooftop deck, which features a gazebo, an irrigation system, and panoramic views of Philadelphia’s skyline.
The garage has been expanded from a single-car space to accommodate three vehicles, complete with a Tesla charging station—offering a rare blend of practicality and luxury.
Throughout the home, meticulous upgrades abound. These include a four-stop elevator, historically accurate windows, new flooring, and updated electrical and plumbing systems. A multi-zone heating and cooling system, Lutron lighting, instant gas water heaters, WiFi transmitters, and in-ceiling Sonos-integrated speakers add to the home’s modern conveniences.
1808 Delancey Street is more than a residence; it’s a masterpiece of design and functionality, offering historic grandeur and cutting-edge amenities in Philadelphia’s premier location. This extraordinary property is truly a one-of-a-kind legacy home.
