Our home in Society Hill is ideally located, looks out onto a quiet cobblestone courtyard and get tons of natural light. The living room on the first floor has a high ceiling and leads to a private garden; the full dining room and kitchen on the mezzanine overlook the living room with a view of the garden and the courtyard. On the next floor are two bedrooms with plenty of closet space and a full bath. On the top level is a large loft bedroom with full bath (shower). The bedrooms are large and two of them double as offices. Lower level has new washer/dryer and 1/2 bath. We are a short walk to cafes, restaurants, Washington Square Park, Headhouse Square (which has a weekly farmer's market), Independence Hall and other historical sights, and one of the best elementary schools in the city. Kitchen was renovated in 2024. The courtyard offers room for kids to play, great neighbors and a parking spot. We are 15 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport and the Amtrak station.
