The CENTERfold: Room to Roam

You know a home’s pretty special when the Wall Street Journal stands up and takes notice. That’s exactly the case with 1901 Delancey Place.

This overwhelmingly-large Rittenhouse Square home recently hit the market. At a whopping 8,806 square feet, I’m pretty sure it’s the largest CENTERfold ever! It sports five bedrooms and seven baths, all of which are huge.

The most surprising aspect of this home, however, is its stylish, ultra-contemporary interior. It’s tucked inside of a stately Colonial, making the visual impact a mega-pop when one walks through the door.

Loads of natural light and an oversized gallery welcome you into the home, while a dramatic staircase sweeps you up and in the direction of the home’s 5 (!) floors. No worries about trudging up and down steps all day if you don’t feet like it, though – there’s an elevator with access to the whole home.

A home this impressive deserves a showpiece kitchen, and this home packs a wallop. The Bulthaup kitchen boasts a sun-soaked breakfast area, and there’s also a dining room that’s a full 40 feet long!

On the second floor, there’s a large living room and an additional gallery, as well as a roomy butler’s pantry.

The showpiece master bedroom is on the third floor, with a enormous dressing room and en-suite bath. The latter features a walk in European shower with dual body and full shower heads.

Down on the lower level: a media room, separate catering kitchen, and a guest apartment.

This stunning home is being offered for $5,000,000, making it one of the priciest pads in Philly at the moment. That’s a rich price tag, but it’s offset by the fact that there’s truly nothing else like this place around.
