Description
Welcome to 1808 delancey street—a masterfully restored residence on philadelphia’s most coveted block. originally built in 1870, this home underwent a mid-century renovation in 1952 that stripped it of its historic charm. however, an 18-month restoration in 2017 revived its timeless elegance, seamlessly integrating modern luxury with historic detail.
the first floor opens to a lovely foyer that leads into a sophisticated living room. custom designed with three elegant arched openings, the space is anchored by a ventless gas-burning fireplace with an italian mantel, surrounded by graceful chandeliers. a newly added powder room provides convenience while maintaining the home’s refined aesthetic.
a few steps up, the dining room offers custom cabinetry, a wine fridge, and access to a private deck with an irrigation system—perfect for al fresco entertaining. adjacent is a designer kitchen by j. thom and joanne hudson, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and high-end appliances. an arched pass-through between the kitchen and dining room enhances both function and charm.
the second floor is thoughtfully divided into two distinct spaces. at the rear, a luxurious family room is equipped with a nine-speaker dolby atmos surround sound system and motorized shades, creating a premier entertainment area. this level also has an additional powder room.
at the front, the primary suite has been completely reimagined for elegance and functionality. the bedroom boasts a gas fireplace, a tray ceiling with dimmable perimeter lighting, and a walk-in closet with custom interiors. the spa-like en suite bathroom features custom cabinetry, a large tiled shower, and a biobidet, elevating everyday comfort.
the third floor includes two additional bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. one bedroom is currently used as an in-home office, and this floor also features a well-equipped laundry room with custom cabinetry and a wash sink.
the fourth floor is a self-contained guest suite, complete with a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette. from this level, ascend to the stunning rooftop deck, which features a gazebo, an irrigation system, and panoramic views of philadelphia’s skyline.
the garage has been expanded from a single-car space to accommodate three vehicles, complete with a tesla charging station—offering a rare blend of practicality and luxury.
throughout the home, meticulous upgrades abound. these include a four-stop elevator, historically accurate windows, new flooring, and updated electrical and plumbing systems. a multi-zone heating and cooling system, lutron lighting, instant gas water heaters, wifi transmitters, and in-ceiling sonos-integrated speakers add to the home’s modern conveniences.
1808 delancey street is more than a residence; it’s a masterpiece of design and functionality, offering historic grandeur and cutting-edge amenities in philadelphia’s premier location. this extraordinary property is truly a one-of-a-kind legacy home.
