About this home
On a bright corner, steps from Passyunk Square and just across the street from the creative energy of BOK Building, this thoughtfully designed home feels like a small work of art, effortlessly stylish, deeply comfortable, and filled with the kind of character that can’t be replicated. It feels like it belongs to someone who knows exactly what they love and isn’t afraid to live with personality. Styled with a relaxed modern bohemian sensibility and layered with tactile materials, vintage references, and just the right amount of edge, in this home, every space tells a story. It's shaped by a creative eye and an appreciation for materials that feel honest and lived-in.
Morning light pours in from multiple exposures, reminding you that the perks of a corner home never get old. A warm glow that moves gently through the spaces as the day unfolds, the interiors feel curated rather than decorated, where natural materials, clean lines, and unexpected textures live happily together.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen anchors daily life with understated confidence. Concrete countertops bring a quiet, industrial softness that pairs beautifully with original retro black and white tile and floating shelving, creating a backdrop that feels timeless without feeling predictable. The materials are simple and tactile, the kind of kitchen that makes even a simple cup of coffee feel like a small ritual. It’s easy to imagine slow weekend mornings here, João Gilberto vinyl playing softly in the background, sunlight catching the edge of a favorite mug.
Design moments throughout the home reveal a creative hand at work. The original Tofani door, mid-century light fixtures, a decorative salvaged mantlepiece, and a staircase banister, crafted from reclaimed farm fencing, adds sculptural texture and a sense of story. It’s thoughtful, a little unexpected, and completely memorable.
Upstairs, three bedrooms offer flexible space for living, working, creating, or simply spreading out. The front bedroom features a full wall of custom-built closets, equal parts beautiful and practical, while a cedar hall closet offers both charm and function rarely found in homes of this size.
The bathroom feels quietly indulgent, a retreat designed for slowing down. Radiant heated floors warm the space underfoot, while classic subway tile surrounds a deep tub that invites long, restorative soaks, ideally with a good book and zero phone notifications. The room blends vintage inspiration with modern comfort in a way that feels timeless rather than trendy.
Outside, the amenities continue to surprise. A private garage provides that rarest of city luxuries: guaranteed parking or a space for an art studio, home gym, motorcycle shop, or the creative space of your dreams. The patio is perfect for container gardens, summer dinners, or evenings entertaining under soft light. Above, the deck creates a perfect outdoor perch for evening cocktails or simply catching the golden hour with friends.
The basement has been carefully maintained with a waterproofing system and sump pump, offering peace of mind along with excellent storage or workspace potential.
And then there’s the location. Directly across the street, the beloved BOK Building hums with creative energy, home to artists, makers, small businesses, a beloved rooftop restaurant and bar, and some of the city’s most interesting entrepreneurial ventures. Living here means inspiration is quite literally outside your door. Add in Passyunk Square’s vibrant restaurant scene, neighborhood cafes, independent shops, and easy walkability, and daily life starts to feel very well curated.
1828 S 9th Street is for someone who appreciates good design but doesn’t need to shout about it. Someone who wants a home with soul, style, and just the right amount of personality. Creative, comfortable, and quietly cool, this corner home is ready for its next chapter....
