Property Description
Throughout the home, original coffered plaster ceilings with soaring heights, abundant natural light, pocket doors, curved architectural elements, stained and leaded glass windows, and three wood-burning fireplaces reflect exceptional 19th-century craftsmanship.
The first floor offers a refined arrival, beginning with an elegant Italianate vestibule entry featuring double doors with pierced metal panels, glass backing, and an etched-glass transom, framed by preserved period millwork. A gallery-style entry hall with ceilings nearing 11 feet, original coffered plaster detailing, graceful archways, and inlaid hardwood floors leads to a gracious parlor with a wood-burning fireplace and tall windows.
The kitchen was reimagined in 2019 into an elevated and highly functional space with custom cabinetry scaled to ceiling height, integrated backlighting for a soft ambient glow, timeless stone surfaces, and a quartz-topped island with seating for four. High-end appliances include a gas range with custom hood, refrigerator, and dishwasher. A discreet powder room and direct access to the private courtyard on this level complete the main floor.
The second floor is the architectural showpiece, featuring approximately 18-foot ceilings, preserved plasterwork, ceiling medallions, and period moldings. The formal dining room is anchored by a statement chandelier and built-in display cabinetry. Original pocket doors open to the formal living room with tall south-facing windows, a commanding wood-burning fireplace, and rich architectural detailing—ideal for formal entertaining and daily living.
The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite, bathed in southern light and anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A flexible dressing room or office area, multiple closets including a cedar-lined closet, and an en-suite bath with double vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and abundant natural light complete this level.
The fourth floor offers exceptional flexibility with three well-proportioned rooms (currently bedrooms, one used as an office), a full bath, a kitchenette, and a dedicated laundry area—ideal for guests, extended stays, or work-from-home separation.
An unfinished basement with a separate street entrance provides excellent storage. Additional features include a gracefully curved staircase, architecturally significant curved wall, updated period-appropriate lighting, a comprehensive security system, and major infrastructure upgrades including updated electrical, plumbing, gas lines, zoned HVAC, and a tankless hot water system.
Located in close proximity to Rittenhouse Square's dining, shopping, parks, and cultural institutions, 1805 Spruce Street offers an ideal blend of historic architecture, modern infrastructure, and premier city living.
