Property Description

A classic Rittenhouse gem, just waiting for your inspired vision - and a little polish and shine - to elevate this historic jewel box. Nestled in the heart of the iconic Rittenhouse Square neighborhood, this stately 3,800 s.f. four bedroom home does not sacrifice warmth and old world charm to modern functionality. Step inside to a welcoming formal entryway, eyes drawn upwards to the dramatic soaring ceilings, and an instant sense that this is a special home. Every room is highlighted by incredible dimension and scale and abundant natural light, with beautiful moldings and noteworthy original architectural detail - yet there is an easy accessibility and continuity of flow to the overall feel of the floor plan. A lovely wood-burning fireplace with marble mantle and wonderful ceiling moldings accent the formal living room . A few steps down to the first floor of the home and a more recent renovation, the expertly-fitted island kitchen is bright and spacious, boasting stainless appliances, furniture-quality cabinetry, and a cozy breakfast area. Step outside to envision endless possibilities for a private outdoor haven, whether fire pit and grilling, a vertical succulent garden, or dinner al fresco. A convenient powder room, and large unfinished storage/mechanical room complete this level of the home. Opposite the formal living room on the home's main floor sits the first of two gorgeous Great Rooms, each providing fantastic flex space to create a den, formal library, home office, or communal gathering space. Adjacent the primary level Great Room lined with original leaded glass windows and a second wood-burning fireplace, is a convenient Butler's Pantry and fully-equipped kitchen, perfect for a wet bar, preparing snacks or a light meal. Walking up the main grand stair, to the right, a second stunning Great Room with marble fireplace, and a second convenient half bath. At the opposite wing of this floor, light-filled with tree-top views, the primary bedroom suite features a modern bath and spacious custom walk-in. On the next floor of the home, two charming bedroom suites and two full baths. With every step, there is a continued mindfulness of the scale and scope of the spaces - the solidity of the home's "bones" - and a persistent awareness of the remarkable volume of the high ceilings. The upper level of the home, via spiral stair, provides access to the rooftop deck and the last bedroom suite. Can you envision a gorgeous rooftop deck with spectacular city skyline and sunset views, with a fantastic seating arrangement, maybe an herb garden, an alfresco mobile office, or simply relaxing with morning coffee and evening champagne? There are endless possibilities, and this rooftop deck sits in the perfect location, awaiting your inspired vision and transformation. The home has new mechanicals and roof, and is being sold in its current condition. Offering one year's prepaid parking in a nearby garage. 2221 Locust is a rare opportunity. The perfect location two blocks from the Square, with easy access to the river walk, I95 and University City, surrounded by the most dynamic city dining, entertainment, and shopping scene. This historic townhome has stellar unlimited potential to become a brilliant Rittenhouse diamond.
