Property Description

Discover the character and history of this distinctive townhouse at 319 S. Hicks Street, ideally situated in Philadelphia's desirable Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. Originally built in the Federal style, this historic property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia's architectural past, with documented history dating back to 1849. The original fire-insurance plaque from the Ben Franklin Fire Company remains prominently displayed on the façade, and a copy of the original fire-insurance agreement documenting Eliza Patterson's occupancy is available for the next owner.

The first floor features a living room, two coat closets, a dining room, and a kitchen with access to a private backyard patio. There is also a potential location to add a convenient half bathroom. .

The second floor is currently configured as an additional living space, complete with a fireplace, hardwood floors, and a spacious bathroom featuring a handcrafted sink by Philadelphia blacksmith Louise Pezzi, a large walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub. This flexible level offers the potential to be reconfigured into two bedrooms and one bathroom, depending on the next owner's vision . The third floor features two additional bedrooms.

Brazilian cherrywood flooring and Italian glazed tile add warmth and character to the first and second levels, while Corian appointments in the kitchen and shower provide distinctive finishes.

Significant maintenance and improvements have been completed over the years, including replacement of lead piping at the rear of the property, basement trenching and waterproofing with a French drain, roof work approximately ten years ago with additional maintenance in 2024, and installation of a solar-powered exhaust vent in 2025 to help manage crawl-space moisture.

With its historic significance, flexible floor plan, private outdoor space, and prime Rittenhouse Square location, this property presents a rare opportunity for a buyer who appreciates Philadelphia history and sees the potential to make a truly distinctive home their own
