Property Description

Not a fan of soulless cookie-cutter rehabs with grey vinyl floors, white kitchens, and builder-grade everything? Welcome home to 1205 S 8th St, an artfully reimagined Passyunk Square brick row home where rich history meets modern city living! This two-bedroom plus office, two-full-bathroom home stands out with high-end and custom elements that you literally won't find anywhere else. The home was painstakingly rehabbed using sustainable and salvaged materials and was featured on Apartment Therapy. Step through the front door into an open-concept main level anchored by striking blue slate floors and a cozy Napoleon wood-burning stove. The kitchen is a showstopper for culinary enthusiasts, featuring reclaimed wood cabinetry, a premium Bertazzoni range, and countertops repurposed from the historic marble stairs of Philadelphia's iconic Divine Lorraine Hotel. Sliding glass doors from the kitchen open to a private patio—your perfect little oasis for grilling or gardening. Behind an antique freezer door, the finished basement serves as an ideal home office, den, or media room. Moving upstairs, the second floor boasts a full bathroom, a spacious bedroom with custom reclaimed shelving and doors, and a flexible den/office space. Why settle for boring flat white ceilings? Ceiling murals on this level are by local sign artist Darin Rowland. The third floor is home to a dreamy, loft-like primary suite featuring dramatic vaulted ceilings, ample deep closet storage, and exceptional natural light. The location is unbeatable—just blocks from the Italian Market, East Passyunk, and Bella Vista. Enjoy easy access to the city’s finest dining, cafes, shops, and parks right outside your door. Do not miss this magical urban gem!
