Property Description
Defined by Furness's bold architectural vision, the home is distinguished by soaring ceilings, dramatic proportions, and richly articulated architectural detail. A cantilevered bay extending over 22nd Street remains one of the property's most distinctive features, underscoring its architectural pedigree.
A comprehensive 2021 renovation was guided by a clear principle: modernize without erasing. The result is a seamless integration of contemporary systems and historic character. Exterior work included full repointing of the brick façade, chimney restoration, new wooden corbels, and a complete roof replacement. Inside, plumbing, electrical systems, and most windows were fully updated, ensuring modern performance while preserving the integrity of the original design.
For a second renovation to the interiors completed last year, Vestige Home drew from Furness's ornamental vocabulary to inform a series of custom details. The kitchen range hood, butler's pantry bench, and primary suite built-ins incorporate geometric motifs that echo the architect's distinctive style. Original mantlepieces, intricate millwork, and rich wood detailing remain intact, reinforcing the home's authenticity.
The main level unfolds from a gracious entry hall with a grand staircase into formal living and dining rooms that balance historic character with a natural flow for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is anchored by a striking red marble island with generous seating and storage, complemented by quartz countertops and a full suite of high-end appliances. A cozy breakfast nook and a well-appointed butler's pantry—with extensive storage, custom seating, and a second dishwasher—add both function and flexibility.
The second floor centers on a living area anchored by the large bay, where eastern exposure captures morning light and skyline views. The primary suite features large north-facing windows and a fully reimagined en suite bath with a custom vanity, walk-in wet room, soaking tub, and handcrafted zellige tile walls and arched ceiling. Two additional bedrooms and a fully renovated bath complete the level.
The third floor offers a flexible, self-contained living space with two bedrooms, separate living areas, a full bath, kitchenette, and in-unit laundry—ideal for guests, extended family, or a private workspace. Above, a stained glass skylight crowns the stairwell.
Located within the Greenfield School catchment and equidistant to Rittenhouse Square and Fitler Square, as well as the Schuylkill Banks, the home sits on an architecturally rich, tree-lined street. Sellers will provide a credit toward one year of parking at the buyer's choice of a nearby garage. Moments from Walnut and Chestnut Street shopping and acclaimed dining including Vernick Food & Drink, Parc, Wilder, as well as neighborhood favorites Mr. Rabbit, Sally, and Ambrosia. Convenient access to 30th Street Station, University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and Center City completes the offering.
