DELAWARE SCHOOL OF REAL ESTATE

Description

The epitome of elegance and grace, 1819 Delancey Place is a tribute to the past with its classic brick exterior and historical details. Recently renovated with custom finishes and state-of-the-art technology, this property is fit for the savviest modern-day Buyers. Built in the late 1800s, this "double-wide" estate is 29 ft wide on a 75 ft lot, allowing for grand rooms and light-filled spaces that span over 6000 SF on five levels of living with a 2-car garage & elevator to all levels. Through the entry vestibule into a handsome foyer is the home's hallmark staircase and entrances to the formal dining room and the living room. Notable features include the 14-foot ceilings, ornate crown molding, and two marble fireplaces (one is gas) in the living room, with recessed Lutron lighting and a built-in sound system, making this a choice space for entertaining. The eat-in kitchen was designed for the serious cook with gourmet appointments such as the oversized soapstone island, Wolf 6 Burner Range with custom hood vent, 60'' Sub-Zero Refrigerator, built-in microwave, dual sinks, and ample custom cabinetry. Two vaulted skylights allow for incredible natural light, and sliding glass doors lead out to the patio - perfect for morning coffee, grilling, and al fresco dining. This first level is complete with a powder room and coat closet. The stairway landing on the 2nd level opens to an exquisite family room overlooking Delancey with a gas-burning fireplace, marble mantle, and custom tiger wood paneling. Just adjacent to the family room is the Primary Suite, which features custom built-ins, an en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, a frosted glass shower, and a water closet. Additionally, the primary suite includes a 200 SF walk-in closet with custom walnut millwork, plus a conveniently located bonus laundry room. The 3rd floor has two bedrooms, two handsome bathrooms, and a home office, with the top level of this home adding two additional bedrooms (one is currently being used as a home gym), a marble bathroom, a cedar closet, and a sizable custom-outfitted storage room. An additional 1000 sf of living space in the lower level offers a media room with a wet bar, refrigerator & built-in 132-bottle wine cooler, plus a very special "Mummers" powder room. This level is complete with a large mud room with a full-size washer & dryer, storage room, coat closet, and access to the 2-car side-by-side garage. Additional features include a Crestron smart home automation system, programmable Lutron lighting throughout, recently upgraded multi-zoned HVAC, new historic certified custom windows, and a new roof. Located in the heart of Rittenhouse Square, this location is on a quiet, tree-lined street, just steps from the best restaurants & retail in Philadelphia and less than two blocks from the famed Rittenhouse Square Park.
