About this property

1918 Duplex with Character City Center

Summary:

Stay in a charming bi-level duplex where historic character meets modern comfort. Enjoy a cozy fireplace, skylit kitchen, and a spacious private deck with beautiful city views. Relax with coffee or tea outdoors, unwind in the inviting living area, and explore nearby parks, restaurants, and local attractions. This unique space offers an authentic Philadelphia experience with stylish touches and modern amenities, perfect for both short and long-term stays.



The Space:

This historic 1910 Philadelphia duplex offers the charm and character of an early 20th-century city home in a prime walkable location. You're just minutes from University City, Rittenhouse Square, Chinatown, Queen Village, and more. Restaurants, Whole Foods, bars, shopping, and a dog park are all nearby, with a 24/7 parking garage just down the street.



Our duplex was built in 1910, and we’ve intentionally preserved many of the original architectural details that give historic Philadelphia homes their character. Staying here means experiencing a classic city property rather than a modern, newly built apartment.



Because of the building’s age, you may notice a few features common in historic homes:



• Some floors are slightly uneven due to the original construction

• Certain ceilings are sloped because of the historic layout

• Plumbing systems may drain more slowly than in newer buildings



Many guests love the charm and personality of older homes, but if you prefer the feel of a newly built modern apartment, another listing may be a better fit.



The Neighborhood:

Will update soon.

★ PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING.



We aim to keep a good neighbor policy at all costs and can't stress our house rules enough. Please no smoking, parties or get togethers are allowed at our units.



Quiet hours are written in the house rules.



We love redecorating and are constantly changing decorations and making improvements, so the unit may have some differences from what is shown in the pictures.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a desk.

It’s a nice 2 bedroom option in a perfect location. The steps are somewhat challenging. The separate location of the living room allows some nice separation if you have 3 adults with 1 in the living room. Can’t beat the location!

We booked this apartment for 6 people and did not have accommodations for all guests. there were no extra blankets or pillows. When we asked for them, we were instructed to look in closets that just had fitted sheets. Two of our guests just had fitted sheets to sleep with.
