Dining room and kitchen
Overlooking the living room and foyer is the dining loft, which combines a dining room and a stylish kitchen. Glass railings provide a clear view of the spaces below.
The dining room is also outfitted for video as well as sound, making it one of several movie-night options this house offers.

Primary bedroom
In a thoughtful move, the primary bedroom occupies the floor immediately above the dining loft, making late-night refrigerator raids more convenient. It too is wired for sound and video, with a big-screen TV mount above its stone-framed fireplace.

Primary bathroom
The primary suite is very well outfitted in other ways. Its huge walk-in closet has a mahogany organizer system and a built-in wall safe for storing your valuables behind your clothes. And its bathroom features a heated floor, a jetted tub, a dual vanity with lit mirrors and a marble steam shower with rain head, wand and body sprays. The primary suite shares the second floor with a guest bedroom suite with an en-suite bathroom.

Roof deck
Three more bedrooms, one with an en-suite bath, a shared hall bath and the laundry room lie between your private retreat* and the one floor not served by this house’s six-stop elevator: the roof. You’ll find a wet bar just inside the sliding door that leads from the pilot house to the roof deck, where you can take in a 360-degree view of the city. You can also wire this space for sound and video and hook up a gas grill.

Basement media room
Below all this is a super-stylish basement media room equipped with seven built-in Sonance speakers and a subwoofer for a true cinematic experience when watching the TV mounted on the backlit granite accent wall. It also has a heated floor for extra comfort. Your guests can use the full bath on this floor as well.

*Speaking of private retreat, recall that I said at the beginning that this house throws a little something extra into the mix? See that built-in bookcase next to the elevator?

Secret basement lounge
Swing it open and head down a short flight of stairs to your secret basement lounge. Here you will find another wet bar with beverage fridge and wine rack, a heated floor and one more fireplace. You can also step out for some fresh air down here, as a sliding door opens into the lightwell and offers an emergency exit.
With all this ultra-luxurious Queen Village modern townhouse for sale offers you, you may not ever want to leave it. But it is located close to South Street, Head House Square and Fabric Row, all of which abound with interesting shops, great eateries and lively nightspots. The Delaware riverfront is also a short walk away, several SEPTA bus routes pass nearby, and the house itself has a two-car garage with direct elevator access where you can store your wheels for whenever you might need them. It also has a smart-home system that lets you control the blinds, lighting, climate control and sound from your smartphone even before you get out of your car or walk through the front door.
