luxury houses with terrace for sale Philadelphia, United States

There is only one opportunity in Philadelphia to create a fully customized penthouse residence, and this is it. Occupying the entire top floor of 2100 Hamilton, this extraordinary penthouse offers approximately 5,256 square feet of interior living space and 3,700 square feet of private outdoor space. Floor-to-ceiling glass surrounds the residence, capturing spectacular 360-degree views across Philadelphia, including the Center City skyline, Philadelphia Museum of Art, the prestigious Barnes Foundation, and Benjamin Franklin Bridge. A defining feature of the residence is its expansive private terrace, the largest private penthouse terrace in Philadelphia. Designed as a true extension of the home, this remarkable outdoor space offers endless possibilities for entertaining, dining, gardens, wellness amenities, or simply enjoying the city views. Multiple access points create a seamless connection between indoors and out, while a separate private terrace overlooking the Philadelphia Museum of Art provides a more intimate setting. Unlike any other opportunity available in the city, this residence allows you to create a home that is entirely your own with the support of an experienced development team. Buyers may select the thoughtfully designed floor plan by award-winning architect Cecil Baker or collaborate with their own architect to create a completely custom design. This is a rare opportunity to shape the residence from the ground up, but timing is essential. As construction progresses, opportunities to modify the overall floor plan will become increasingly limited. Buyers who act now have the greatest flexibility to customize the layout itself, rather than simply selecting finishes, creating a home that truly reflects their vision. To help bring that vision to life, the developer will work alongside your architect and contractor throughout the design and construction process and will contribute up to $2 million toward the build-out. This extraordinary investment allows buyers to focus on creating a truly bespoke residence while benefiting from the expertise and guidance of the team behind one of Philadelphia's premier luxury condominium communities. Every aspect of the residence can be tailored to your lifestyle, whether you envision expansive entertaining spaces, a chef's kitchen, a private wellness suite, an art gallery, a library, or luxurious bedroom retreats. The result is a one-of-a-kind home designed specifically for the way you live. Rising just 10 stories, 2100 Hamilton offers the privacy and intimacy of a boutique condominium with an exceptional collection of luxury amenities. At the heart of the property is a beautifully landscaped, nearly half-acre private garden with a reflecting pool, waterfall, fire pits, and outdoor gathering spaces, creating a park-like setting rarely found in the heart of the city. Residents also enjoy an indoor infinity pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, resident lounge, guest suite, meeting and event spaces, 24-hour concierge service, valet parking, and four dedicated parking spaces in the on-site garage. Ideally situated in Logan Square, just steps from the Barnes Foundation, 2100 Hamilton places residents moments from Philadelphia's renowned museums, acclaimed restaurants, cultural institutions, and the best of Center City. Despite its central location and extraordinary city views, the building feels remarkably removed from the activity around it, surrounded by green space and offering a peaceful, private urban oasis in the heart of Philadelphia.

Welcome to 500 Telner Street, one of the finest Woodward houses in Chestnut Hill. Built in 1957, but resembling a 1925 house typical of the finest aesthetics of Chestnut Hill, this lovely estate was custom built for George Woodward, Jr. and his wife Harriet for their personal home. The Woodward family is well-known for building Chestnut Hill’s most charming estates. Its park-like setting and charming dovecote gracing the front entrance, surrounded by pink azaleas in Spring, make this fairy tale “cottage” come to life. This is one of the rare homes directly on Wissahickon Valley Park. Timeless charm, so typical in Woodward architecture, is brought to its zenith in this stone home, custom built to plans now archived at the Chestnut Hill Conservancy, with seemingly no expense spared. All the modern amenities you love, such as central air, a full 2 car garage, an attached separate apartment with its own private entrance, 5 full and 3 half baths (each bedroom and apartment with their own full bath), and enormous closets and attic space, offer comfort and convenience. With 8 inch deep granite window sills due to the thick walls, the house is exceptionally quiet due to the insulation, solid doors and stucco walls. Uniquely, the primary bedroom suite occupies an entire wing on the ground floor and features a spacious bath with dual bathrooms, each with its own shower or tub. The generous bedroom includes French doors opening to a private patio, a marble fireplace, built-in dresser, and separate closets, along with an adjoining sitting room with an additional marble fireplace. This wing creates total privacy from the other living spaces in the house. The grand living room, with an open floor plan connecting to the dining room, boasts 5 sets of French doors that are lit with morning sun, with an unobscured view filled with trees as it overlooks Cresheim Valley. Since 2013, multiple improvements have been made, including a new main kitchen with radiant floor heating, a Miele dish washer, Viking stove, convection oven, and a generous pantry complete with a cozy, sunny home office. The kitchen in the apartment is also new, with granite countertops, gas range and dishwasher, and added in 2020, a spacious southern exposure insulated glass addition opens out from the living room for your hot tub, 4 season relaxation and plant cultivation or display. A kitchenette is also located here. The circular and garage access driveways were repaved in 2023. The generous studio apartment has a separate entrance and contains multiple windows, a full bath and ample closets. The second floor contains 3 bedrooms and luxuriously, one full bath for each bedroom. Adding to the home's flexible layout is the possibility of complete separation of upstairs and downstairs due to the private entrance access to both the upstairs and the apartment. A large slate floor foyer at the front door absorbs all the comings and goings and stands the test of time. Located over the furnace room, the slate remains warm all winter long. A massive “playroom” in the finished basement, complete with fireplace, could be an exercise space, a guest bedroom (it has a large window), office, child or party space. While laundry is conveniently located on the ground floor, there is plumbing here in a large closet for another laundry facility. There is also a half bath in the basement and a very generous workshop space as well. An additional finished room which, at the owner’s option, could be reserved for the resident of the apartment to enlarge its capacity, or kept as part of the main residence.
