The CENTERfold: Delancey Dreaming In Historic Style!

Pre-war elegance, sumptuous details, and an ultra-plush Rittenhouse Square addy – 1813 Delancey Street is the optimal home for the discerning, ultra-tasteful buyer… one fairly flush with cash, obviously. The home sports 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths over 4,906 sq. ft., and was recently reduced to $2,495,000.

Your view from the street, all stately brick and elegance.

You’ve heard of “owning a piece of the past?” Well, this immaculate townhouse manse was originally built in 1752. When your residence is older than the United States itself, that’s a pretty significant boast! Can you even imagine what these walls have seen and heard? Make this home yours, and your family’s story will be woven into the fabric of history.

The sitting room – look at the recessed lighting and molding!

For a structure that’s seen more than a quarter-millennium come and go, the defining aspect one notices when crossing the threshold is how meticulous are the restored original details, and how seamlessly integrated are the state-of-the-art, modern creature comforts like the Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances in the gleaming chef’s kitchen.

This is a next-level kitchen right here – I think even the most hopeless cook would love making meals here!

The beauty is in the details here, and the details are abundant. From parquet floors in the foyer to high ceilings, wooden staircases, and crown molding in the living spaces, wood-burning fireplaces and vast walk-in closets, this is good living at its most luxurious. There’s virtually boundless living space, allowing everyone you love plenty of room to work, play, and dream.

Tasteful, classic, timeless.

I personally feel that the showstopper is the 4th-level deck, fully landscaped and showing off absolutely breathtaking views of Center City laid out before you. The fact that there’s a home gym, two laundry rooms, and an elevator to shuttle one up and down is merely a bonus at this point.

This view could be yours, every single day.

There’s an onsite garage, which is always delightful, even though just about everything you need is a short walk away! Ample, soaring windows spill sunlight from three directions, and large skylights ensure that all your days will, literally, be bright ones.
