Contemporary design meets historic architectural provenance in this stunning three-bedroom, two-bathroom Cecil Baker-designed townhouse featuring sun-splashed interiors, abundant storage, private outdoor space, and garage parking on the sought-after “Golden Mile” in vibrant Queen Village.

Rarely available in this prime location, this 2,194-square-foot stunner is filled with tall ceilings that rise above gleaming hardwood floors, handsome wood millwork, and built-ins. A gracious foyer welcomes you into the first floor’s open-plan living space. Enjoy casual dining or game nights alongside a wall of shelving, or curl up with a good book in the striking double-height light well featuring glass brick and a warm wood-burning stove. In the expansive living room, two sets of oversized French doors open the space to the charming, walled rear garden for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

On the second floor, an inviting formal dining room is ideally located next to an open kitchen featuring rows of cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. A powder room and a family room flanked by floor-to-ceiling shelving and the home’s iconic projected bay window make this level ideal for entertaining and relaxing.

On the top floor, the owner’s suite beckons with a king-size bedroom, generous closet space, and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Two spacious and bright secondary bedrooms offer custom woodwork and exposed brick details, arched windows, roomy closets, and access to a full hall bathroom with a large tub/shower. Central HVAC, a sprawling basement with a laundry area, and a garage add comfort and convenience to this special Philadelphia townhome.

Ideally located where Bella Vista meets Queen Village, this exceptional residence enjoys outstanding walking, biking, and transit scores and fantastic proximity to some of the city’s best shopping, dining, and nightlife. On the surrounding blocks, you’ll find the beloved Italian Market, parks and playgrounds, and a fantastic array of international cuisine. Whole Foods and Center City amenities are minutes away, and transportation is a breeze thanks to excellent bus service, the expressway, and SEPTA and PATCO trains all nearby.
