Floor by Floor

A guided walk through the house.

The plan is old Philadelphia: public rooms on the lower floor, bedrooms rising above, and the service logic still running toward Waverly Street. The renovation keeps that rhythm intact.

Parlor floor

The public rooms do the receiving.

  • Two parlors for conversation, games, and the first round of coffee.
  • Dining room set for the whole group, with room for sixteen at the table.
  • Primary kitchen and pantry close to the dining room, so the house works for a long meal.
  • Rear access toward Waverly Street for luggage and practical arrivals.
Grand parlor with original fireplace and full-size pool table

Second floor

The principal suite sits above the street.

  • Principal bedroom with king bed, private sitting room, and private bath.
  • Library suite with a queen bed and Pine Street frontage.
  • Formal library for the guest who wants a quieter hour away from the group.
Principal suite with four-poster bed

Third and fourth floors

Bedrooms stack upward, with space between them.

  • Two more queen bedrooms on the third floor, including a large VIP suite.
  • Four bedrooms on the fourth floor: two connecting family rooms, a further queen bedroom, and a king VIP suite.
  • Five full bathrooms and a powder room keep mornings moving.
Upper-floor guest bedroom

Fifth floor

The roof deck is the exhale.

  • Private furnished terrace for morning coffee and an evening look over Center City.
  • Enough separation from the bedrooms below that the house still has quiet corners.
Private roof deck with city views

Bedrooms

Eight bedrooms, each with its own character.

The mix is simple: two kings, five queens, a double, and enough floor separation that a group of sixteen can still find a quiet landing.

The gallery shows the scale better than a list can: tall windows, old mantels, broad rooms, and the roof deck above it all.
