Property Description
When you think of Society Hill, you most likely picture cobblestone streets with the classic line of brick facades, colorful shutters, & window boxes loaded with flowers. Stamper Street delivers just that. Located directly off the Headhouse Shambles, you'll find your perfectly unique oasis built in 1818 by William Williams.The first thing you'll notice when you walk through the door is the original 19th century hardwood floors drenched in natural light from the southern facing atrium window spanning the length of the whole first floor. Thoughtfully renovated in the 1960's by an architect that studied under Louis Kahn, this home is rich with charm and character from the spiral staircase, exposed brick walls, wood fireplace, and numerous built-ins. The loft overlooking the dining area is such a unique touch that you won't find in many other homes in the city.In the traditional trinity style, you make your way down to the kitchen that was beautifully renovated in 2018 with efficiency in mind- all new energy efficient appliances and pre-consumer used/recycled materials used where possible. You'll have plenty of space to entertain your friends with the built in bar nook and large dining area. Cozy up witha book or coffee on thewindow bench and line your plants along the matching granite shelf to soak up all the sunlight. Off the kitchen is the laundry room with plenty of storage space. On the second floor you'll find a spacious full bath which was also fully renovated in 2018 with a large vanity, custom sink, efficiency low-flow fixtures, and shower/tub combo. There's no lack of storage on this floor as the first bedroom boasts two closets and a walk-in closet in the hall between the bedroom and bathroom. Beyond the pocket door on the third floor primary suite is the perfect place to retreat at the end of the day. Relax in the den or turn this space into an office, either way you'll get to enjoy a wood burning fireplace and look out onto the lush greenery in the yard while working or relaxing. Between the den and bedroom, you'll find another full bath, also efficiently renovated in 2018 with a stall shower and frosted transom windows from the skylights above to let in natural light. Yet another sun-soaked space is the bedroom with vaulted ceilings and southern facing skylights with access to the roof. There is potential to finish the roof off as it is already equipped with an electrical outlet and water source. Back downstairs, the living room looks out onto your private brick patio perfect for grilling and hosting BBQ's. Through your foliage covered trellis and beyond your storage shed, you'll find a huge shared yard where you can let dog run or enjoy a private picnic. A private, grass yard of this size is another feature that can't be found in the city. It's shared and maintained by only a couple other neighbors for a small annual fee. Beyond the yard, facing Lombard Street, is your own designated parking spot. Even though you'll never have to worry about parking, Society Hill does boast a walk score of 98 so you truly don't need a car to do just about anything. A walk around the neighborhood will lead you to entertainment venues like the TLA and Milkboy, grocery shopping like Acme and Whole Foods, and some of the best bars and restaurants in the city like Zahav, Pizzeria Stella, Twisted Tail, Malbec Steakhouse, Xochitl, Royal Sushi & Izakaya and so many more! On the weekends, grab coffee and bagel at Philly Bagels, Greenline Cafe or Bodhi and pick out some fresh produce and goods on your way home at the weekly Headhouse Farmer's Market just steps from your front door. You truly won't find another house like this!
