About this home
Commanding attention from the moment you step inside, 308 N 2nd St is a standout residence in the heart of historic Old City, where curated luxury, distinctive details, and exceptional livability come together across nearly 3,800 square feet. This meticulously crafted home offers 4 bedrooms plus an optional 5th bedroom in the finished basement, 3 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, a 2-car garage accessed from a secure driveway that provides additional parking, and multiple outdoor areas including an incredible roof deck. The exterior makes a bold first impression with a recessed entry framed by a towering masonry and brick façade. Inside, the first floor welcomes you with rich hardwood floors and a statement wrought iron staircase that immediately set the tone for the home’s elevated yet comfortable feel. The custom foyer features built-ins for added function, while a powder room, coat closet, and direct entry to the garage complete the level. Upstairs, the second floor opens to a dramatic living and dining space designed for effortless entertaining, highlighted by soaring ceilings, a wall of windows, and a floor-to-ceiling tiled fireplace that anchors the room. Sliding glass doors lead to a private terrace, creating a seamless indoor and outdoor connection. A wet bar adds convenience for hosting, and a discreet powder room sits just off the main space. A slight elevation change introduces the show-stopping, renovated chef’s kitchen, where bespoke cabinetry, waterfall quartzite counters, and a large island with seating are complemented by designer pendant lighting. Gaggenau stainless steel appliances, including a double range, built-in microwave and warming drawer, are paired with a farmhouse sink and tile backsplash to complete this beautifully finished space. The third floor is dedicated to a hotel-style primary suite and a generously sized rear bedroom that is ideal for a nursery or office. The primary bedroom is bright and spacious, featuring tall windows and dual walk-in closets. Its spa-like ensuite bathroom serves as a true retreat, adorned with a floating double vanity, heated floors, high-gloss cabinetry, striking tilework, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed multi-jet rainfall shower with a built-in bench. On the fourth level, you will find two additional bedrooms filled with natural light, including an oversized front bedroom featuring tall windows and a walk-in closet. The rear bedroom includes a walk-in closet, a private terrace, and a Jack-and-Jill connection to the full hall bathroom. A conveniently located laundry closet sits just off the stairs, and a wet bar is perfectly positioned to serve the roof deck above. The expansive roof deck offers an elevated outdoor experience complete with a fireplace and ample space for lounging or entertaining, all set against sweeping views of nearby Benjamin Franklin Bridge and seasonal fireworks displays. The finished basement adds even more versatility for a guest bedroom suite, den, gym, or playroom, plus a full bathroom. Additional highlights include hardwired speakers throughout, heated bathroom floors, multi-zone central A/C, gas heat, and gas hot water. Just beyond your front door, this prime Old City location delivers a Walk Score of 96! Friendly shops and top-rated restaurants like Radicchio Cafe and Tuna Bar are only a few blocks away. The nation’s history is on display nearby at Independence Mall, while lively waterfront events unfold along Penn's Landing, Cherry Street Pier, and Spruce Street Harbor Park.
