City House of the Week: Quintessential Townhouse Near Rittenhouse Square
1937 Panama St, Philadelphia, PA, 19103
Why is it that some of us, given the choice, would pick a little townhouse on a hidden street over a luxury condo or McMansion in the area? Maybe an environmental psychologist could answer that, but I for one think there’s a certain comfort in knowing that your nest is safely tucked away, while still being able to access city amenities with relative ease.
In this case, that nest is a charming white townhouse on quiet Panama Street, a narrow tree-lined path only slightly wider than your average alleyway. It’s a winner, to say the least. For one thing, it has a library (a room easily converted into a fourth bedroom) with a Juliet balcony overlooking the charming street.
The home features oak floors, two fireplaces, finished basement, a kitchen with granite counters and custom-designed cabinets and pantry, and an open floor plan on the first level. Its rear yard includes a lovely landscaped garden, while parking consists of 1 deeded parking space at a nearby garage that is included in the home sale, but requires an annual association fee. Details below.
