1510 Waverly St, Philadelphia, PA 19146

Have you always dreamed of having your own brick-front home in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, with all of the arts, dining and recreation the city is famous for within walking distance? Welcome to 1510 Waverly Street. This three-story historic home, built circa 1838 and listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places, was diligently cared for by its prior owners for the last 50 years. It offers modern conveniences such as gas cooking, central air, and fresh neutral paint throughout, while maintaining its historic charm with arched doorways, stained glass windows and extra-wide plank hardwood floors. On the main level you'll find the living room and dining room that get flooded with natural light from multiple windows. Through a small vestibule you can access your kitchen with built-in shelves and a small pantry. There is also access from this room to the unfinished basement with a cedar closet for keeping your valuable wearables in their best condition. Exit through the dining room to your private rear patio and garden. With a little creativity, you can turn this into your own outdoor paradise. Upstairs are three well-sized bedrooms with closets, and a full bathroom off the first bedroom. On the third floor, an enormous office with factory windows and a cozy wood stove and fireplace set the stage for your creativity to flow. The previous owners used this space to house their impressive art collection, but the space could make an equally remarkable personal library, home office, workshop, photography studio, media room... the options are endless. Next to the larger office is a separate, smaller flexible space that could be used for storage, or possibly converted into an additional powder room. Make this Rittenhouse gem your new home and enjoy walking to Rittenhouse Square and all the arts and culture of downtown Philadelphia for years to come.
