Once in a generation, a house of this stature reaches the market in Rittenhouse. A distinguished stone Victorian on one of Locust Street's finest blocks, where nineteenth-century craftsmanship was preserved rather than stripped out: original stained glass, inlaid hardwoods, ornate molding, multiple fireplaces. The owner's residence claims the top two floors and the roof — 2 bedrooms, 3 baths featuring KraftMaid and Viking kitchen with custom banquette, a wet-bar den, and a library. Crowned by a private 50+ foot Trex terrace, lighting, water and electric run, furniture included, and with breathtaking skyline views. Below, two leased apartments: a front studio with 14-ft ceilings and marble fireplace, and a rear bi-level one-bedroom with spiral staircase and private garden patio. Both terms end December and January — a defined path to the entire house. This home has a shared basement laundry and utilities are not separately metered. Steps to Parc, Friday Saturday Sunday, Ambrosia, Rittenhouse Square, and the Schuylkill River Trail. Schedule your showing today!
Fitler Square, located between the Schuylkill River and Rittenhouse Square, is a residential and historic Philadelphia neighborhood with brick rowhomes and leafy pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Fitler Square Park at 23rd and Pine, where dog walkers, bench-sitters, and café tables share the shade. Side streets show Federal and Victorian details, with tidy stoops and small gardens. The Schuylkill River Trail frames the western edge with a steady stream of runners and cyclists. Community pillars include the Fitler Club, Rowhome Coffee, and the Markward Recreation Center’s riverside courts. The pace stays calm, with Center City’s dining and galleries a short walk east.
The RM, Residential Multi-Family districts are primarily intended to accommodate moderate- to high-density, multi-unit residential buildings in areas where such development already exists or where it is desired in the future. The Zoning Code includes four RM districts. These districts are differentiated primarily on the basis of allowed minimum lot area per unit and allowed building heights.
