Welcome to the Bouvier Mansion, circa 1830 - where history and elegance unite in the heart of Society Hill, one of Philadelphia's most beloved and historic neighborhoods. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the city's storied past, with all the charm and sophistication of a bygone era, seamlessly blended with modern comforts. Introducing Unit 1, a two-bedroom, two full bathroom, meticulously maintained bi-level residence that exudes character and old-world grace.

Unit 1 boasts rare details that can only be found in Society Hill, including soaring ceilings, intricate moldings, and exquisite craftsmanship, all thoughtfully paired with modern conveniences.

Step through the grand entrance into the living room, where sunlight pours through the floor-to-ceiling windows, showcasing the intricate handmade moldings, the warmth of the palm pine floors, and the breathtaking Italian-imported marble fireplace, which has stood as a witness to nearly two centuries of Philadelphia history. Above, a grand crystal chandelier casts a warm, inviting glow, and just beyond the living room, your private brick patio beckons--a peaceful retreat perfect for quiet mornings or elegant evenings entertaining guests.

Down the hall, you'll discover the expansive main bedroom suite, a sanctuary of natural light framed by more floor-to-ceiling windows, original pocket shutters, and deep sills. The imported marble fireplace in this room is an artful centerpiece, and the loft area above provides extra storage or an intimate retreat with views of the garden and charming Locust Street. This loft could easily transform into a meditation space, home office, or cozy reading nook. The completely remodeled primary bathroom blends modern luxury with the home's historic charm, creating a perfect balance of past and present.

On the next level, you'll find even more space to fall in love with. The second living room/dining room features exposed brick arches, offering a cozy yet open setting for hosting or unwinding in the ambiance of this remarkable home. The kitchen is fully equipped with granite countertops and a designer glass backsplash, perfectly blending modern functionality with the building's timeless character.

The second bedroom--ideal as a guest room or home office--boasts its own full bath and pocket shutters. Step outside onto the private balcony for a breath of fresh air and a lovely view of the well-maintained neighborhood. A separate laundry room and mechanical closet offer additional storage and convenience.

This magnificent brownstone, shared with just five other residences, fosters a strong sense of community, with affordable condo fees and a location that's truly unparalleled. Society Hill is one of Philadelphia's most prestigious and historic neighborhoods, known for its cobblestone streets, Federal and Georgian townhouses, and proximity to the city's best amenities. You'll be just steps away from Washington Square Park, the Philadelphia waterfront, and some of the city's top dining and shopping experiences. Enjoy a short stroll to Headhouse Square Farmers Market, or dine at iconic restaurants like Zahav and Royal Sushi & Izakaya. For those who commute, easy access to I-95, public transit, and bike-friendly streets makes getting around a breeze.

With the perfect mix of historic charm and modern convenience, Society Hill offers a lifestyle rich in culture, history, and unparalleled walkability.

Who will be the next lucky owner to call this masterpiece home? Don't miss your chance to experience timeless elegance in one of Philadelphia's most coveted neighborhoods. *Please confirm the real estate taxes as the owner is currently under a long-term resident homestead exemption.
