Just listed: a magnificent 1845 townhouse on Pine Street in Rittenhouse Square.

This elegant house for sale has been updated with all of its original mid-19th-century details and style intact. Ornate crown moldings, marble fireplaces, crystal chandeliers — all still present, all in fine shape.

Its main floor has a huge front parlor that currently functions as a lounge of sorts, as the owners of this house currently rent out its six bedrooms to Airbnb guests…

Dining room

…many of whom may belong to their extensive circle of relatives and friends. You’ll find their names inscribed on one wall of the large formal dining room. You’ll also find their faces painted on a wall of one of the bedrooms.

Patio

Off the dining room you’ll find an attractive brick rear patio.

Kitchen

The main-floor kitchen itself has bar seating at its island and high-end appliances. You’ll find a second full kitchen upstairs.

Library

Other spaces for relaxation and entertaining include a library with built-in bookcases and a top-floor den. Both have fireplaces.

Master bedroom

Master suite sitting room

The master suite also has built-in bookcases in both its bedroom and its sitting room. The other bedrooms have plenty of space, including closet space. One has built-in bookshelves, another a brick fireplace.

Roof deck

Topping all this off is a large roof deck with a marvelous view of the Center City skyline.

Front elevation

And all of this couldn’t be better located. It’s just two blocks from Rittenhouse Square and the shops and restaurants along Rittenhouse Row. The Avenue of the Arts is just a little further away — four blocks, to be exact.
