Contemporary

A thoughtfully renovated four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home that brings contemporary design and everyday functionality to a classic early-20th-century Philadelphia rowhome. Renovated top to bottom in 2019, the house pairs exposed brick on all three floors above grade with white oak floors, large windows, and a clean, modern interior, and it lives far larger than its facade suggests. The professionally restored Tofani Hollywood door, with its original glass and custom trim, offers a memorable introduction. Inside, the main level runs open from front to back, with living and dining areas beneath an authentic Herman Miller George Nelson Saucer Pendant. The kitchen centers on a generous island with sink and features a gas cooktop, GE stainless appliances, quartz counters, and a three-stage Aquasana filtered-water faucet. A walk-in pantry with floor-to-ceiling shelving stays with the house, and a powder room completes the level. Off the kitchen, a private rear patio is largely screened from neighboring homes, and downstairs, the finished lower level adds flexible living space. On the second floor, the primary bedroom features a pair of custom California Closets wardrobes with abundant shelving, drawers, and integrated outlets. Its en suite bath offers an oversized glass-walled shower with dual showerheads, double sinks, and a separate water closet. A second spacious bedroom, a hall bath, and laundry share the floor. The third floor holds two more bedrooms, a full bath, and access to the roof deck with views toward Center City. Dual-zone HVAC and hardwired ethernet support everyday life throughout. The location is equally compelling, just two blocks from the historic grounds of Naval Square. Madison Square and St. Albans Place offer quiet, landscaped garden blocks a short walk away, while restaurants, groceries, parks, and everyday amenities are all within easy reach. The Schuylkill River Trail and South Street Bridge are nearby, connecting the neighborhood to University City and the river. Penn, CHOP, Drexel, Fitler Square, Rittenhouse Square, and 30th Street Station are all readily accessible, and the Amtrak connection at 30th Street adds another dimension of convenience. On the block, permit parking lines the house side of the street, with permit-free spaces across the street. At 2609 Christian Street, character, comfort, and connection are yours to enjoy in a very walkable Philadelphia neighborhood.
