About this home
Travel back in time without sacrificing modern luxury at 246 Delancey Street, a pristine, thoughtfully designed 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home on one of Philadelphia's most picturesque and coveted blocks. Built circa 1767 by Joseph Wetherill, son of Christpher and Mary (Stockton) Wetherill and said to be the nephew of Richard Stockton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, this residence is proudly listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. A remarkable property for history lovers! Today, its random-width hardwood floors, preserved architectural details and lush garden are paired with tasteful modern updates offering a rare blend of colonial charm and contemporary comfort.
The main level is filled with natural light and features a spacious open floor plan with refinished hardwood floors, recessed lighting, elegant wainscoting, and a fireplace that serves as the focal point of the living space. The dedicated dining area connects to a fully equipped kitchen offering abundant cabinetry, a sleek range hood, under-cabinet lighting, a tile backsplash, and a breakfast bar with pendant lighting—ideal for both everyday use and entertaining. Beyond the kitchen, a private garden provides a tranquil retreat for urban planting or morning coffee.
The second level boasts a large sunlit primary bedroom with a ceiling fan, good closet space and recessed lighting, along with an ensuite bath featuring a dual vanity and a spa-like shower. A second spacious bedroom, a full bath with a tub/shower combo, and a conveniently located laundry closet complete this floor.
The third level offers two additional bedrooms—one currently used as a home office with a charming exposed brick fireplace. This level also accesses the most amazing rooftop deck with a pergola—ideal for dining al fresco or relaxing under the city sky.
Enjoy easy access to parks, including Three Bears Park -a beloved neighborhood hideaway, waterfront trails, Headhouse Square, farmers markets, acclaimed restaurants, and cultural landmarks—all just moments from your front door. As an added bonus, the seller is offering one year of parking around the corner at 215 Lombard Street for even more convenience in this prime location
Nestled on a storybook street in the heart of Society Hill, this historic gem is so captivating it draws admirers from near and far. Its charm and elegance make it picture-perfect in every season. It's a piece of Philadelphia’s history with thoughtfully designed spaces, both inside and out, for modern city living.
