About this home
Historic, stately home built in 1860 and situated on one of Philadelphia’s most prestigious blocks, 1831 Delancey is the epitome of townhome living. Completely renovated 10 years ago, this impressive property boasts beautifully restored architectural details alongside modern updates, all while maintaining the integrity of the original design. With five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, an elevator, secure carport, finished basement and large roof deck, this home is as functional as it is beautiful. Enter through the oversized, hand restored original front door through a marble vestibule into the welcoming entry hall. An oversized living room, with windows looking onto Delancey Street and a gas fireplace with marble surround, is ideal for entertaining. The formal dining room can accommodate a table for twelve, offers a china closet, wall of glass doors out to the garden, and leads into the chef’s kitchen through a set of pocket doors that can remain open or be closed for privacy. The kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, outfitted with professional-grade appliances including a Wolf six-burner gas range and convection oven, Sharp microwave drawer, Sub-Zero paneled refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and wine refrigerator. Sleek marble surfaces and backsplashes extend throughout the space. The ample cabinet and pantry space is well thought out for maximum efficiency. A curved staircase with original mahogany banister and mother of pearl “mortgage button,” as well as a five stop Savaria elevator, connects the levels of this house. The second level offers a powder room, luxurious guest bedroom suite and wood paneled family room or home office with wet bar and restored wall of bookcases original to the home. There is another gas fireplace in this room. The luxurious primary suite is a serene retreat with incredible natural light, multiple wall closets including a cedar closet, a walk-in closet/dressing room, built-ins with a hidden mini fridge and microwave and the home’s third gas fireplace. The ensuite bathroom is appointed in marble with a double vanity and walk-in shower with six rain heads and handheld options. There are three additional generously sized bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom and the other two with a shared jack-n-jill bath. All the closets are fitted out by California Closets and all bathrooms are appointed in marble. A 420 square foot Trek deck with lighting and storage completes the top level. The finished lower level is complete with two entertaining or gym spaces, a kitchenette, full bathroom, storage/mechanical room and low storage space that runs half the length of the house. There are stunning hardwood floors adding warmth and sophistication throughout the home.
