Historic Mansion with 6 Master Suites & Huge Yard
Enjoy a beautiful historic mansion with 6 very large bedrooms each with attached private ensuite bathrooms on 2.2 landscaped acres. There are 4 CA Kings, 3 Queens, and 1 Full bed. Newly renovated and spacious kitchen, 3 living rooms, billiards room, gym with sauna, huge covered front porch for events and a beautifully landscaped courtyard with BBQ grill, patio furniture, and goldfish pond out the kitchen door, etc. Central AC and historic hardwood floors throughout home. Accessible to downtown Philadelphia in 15 minutes via train 1 block away or Uber. I have a 4.92 star rating from 152 reviews over 11 years on another platform. The mansion is the perfect place to enjoy life's important moments with family and friends. Built in the late 1800s originally as a private residence, the house has been meticulously restored and renovated to maintain its historic charm. It sits on a beautifully landscaped 2.2 acres with nearly year-round flowers and trees. There is a massive covered front porch. The house is in a safe neighborhood with walkable food markets, public transportation, and nearby restaurants. The house has two floors. When you first walk in, you are in the expansive entryway. The first floor has a large living room, billiards room, and adjacent sitting room, dining room (sits up to 12 guests at the table), two 1/2 bathrooms, a renovated kitchen with breakfast nook and separate sitting room, and a gym with sauna, treadmill and elliptical. A large, sweeping staircase with 2 story stained glass window brings you to the second floor with 6 spacious bedrooms, each with their own attached full bathroom. The house sleeps 14 people in the 4 CA king beds, 3 queen beds, and 1 double bed. The house can accommodate 2 additional people on a queen futon bed and additional futon mattress and air mattresses. Maximum number of overnight guests is 16 persons. The outside of the house has a wrap around porch, walking path to view the landscaped grounds with year-round blooming flowers, and a private courtyard with patio furniture including 2 dining tables, a Weber BBQ grill, and a pond with friendly fish, lotus flowers, and a soothing waterfall. The Mansion rental is for your exclusive use. FYI, when not rented, the house is lived in full-time by the owner. Please note that the property has 3 total buildings where there are full-time apartment renters. Those apartments have their own driveway, parking and entrances that are not shared with the Mansion. There is parking in the front driveway available for approximately 6-8 guest vehicles as well as free parking on the street in front of the house. The house is fully wheel chair accessible with an elevator when requested. This is a non-smoking and no pets property. Maximum number of overnight guests is 16 persons. Sheets and towels are provided. The Mansion is available for event rental for an extra fee and hundreds of weddings, birthdays, murder mystery parties, holidays, movie and commercial filming, and other gatherings have been successfully held here.

This house is amazing! There is so much space & it was so well kept & clean. The host & property manager were both great & communicated well & quickly. Very impressed with how responsive & accommodating they both were before, during, & after our stay. I definitely recommend this home for group travel because you can easily spread out & with bathrooms in every bedroom essentially, it makes it wonderful for large groups. It is also well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The host allowed us to leave unfinished & unopened food for donation rather than wasting it, which warmed my heart since I use to work for a food bank. Definitely recommend this home for your stay!
