2136 Locust St, Philadelphia, PA 19103

SPECTACULAR OPPORTUNITY to own a piece of Philadelphia history in the form of this four story Federal brick beauty, with 10,490 square feet (gross), bricked sidewalks, and a two-car garage, in a residential area just three blocks away from Rittenhouse Square. Built in 1905, this property, on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places, still retains many stunning original features, like parquet and herringbone wood floors, arched stained glass and leaded windows, paneling, moldings, an elevator (currently defunct), and the curved walls that are so traditional to the Federalist style, plus a rooftop deck with stunning views. With a full daylight lower level with windows and walk-up, offices on the first floor, and three large apartments comprising the second and third stories (including a five-bedroom 3,590 square foot "owners' unit"), the renovation and remodel possibilities here are endless. Restore this grand Philadelphia mansion to its original glory as a single-family residence to create a truly special home as enjoyed by the former Italian Consulate. Or focus on the many multi-family options. Inquire to the listing agent for plans to convert the lower level and first floor into possible apartments or condos to increase the income value for the savvy investor. Each room offers something to discover, full of architectural interest. Chance of a lifetime to own this historically significant Rittenhouse Square gem, within walking distance to Fitler Square, Schuylkill jogging path, Center City, University City, restaurants and shopping.
