Grandeur and elegance in monumental proportion defines 2023 Delancey Place - a regal 4 story, 5 bedroom, plus library, 6.5 bath Rittenhouse townhome with elevator and 2 CAR GARAGE PARKING. This coveted location offers all the convenience of center city living with every amenity, on the most desired block in the heart of town. The wide, tree-lined street brings you to a paneled mahogany, double-door entry with generous front step. Enter the marble tiled vestibule, and a glance up will reveal 13? ceiling heights with elegant plaster crown molding. Another set of doors lead into the main hall, where you?re greeted by the original staircase ahead, and the main living room through an archway to the left. This front room is no less than a grand salon showcasing a carved marble fireplace, towering front windows, and gracious scale, with room for a grand piano and several seating areas. Another arch welcomes you into the huge formal dining room, which features multi-toggle recessed lighting against the high ceiling and bay window on the back wall. This lovely bay includes a central glass door that opens to an outdoor terrace, perfect for cocktails, al fresco dining, or a breath of fresh air. You enter the kitchen through a large scale pocket door or from the central hallway; a delight for chefs and home cooks alike. The excellently equipped kitchen holds a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, Gaggenau range, and custom aluminum Bulthaup cabinetry. Enjoy radiant heated floors and an eat-in sitting area overlooking the deck.

Ascend the original staircase to the second level where a recessed niche leads to the primary bedroom. Overlooking tree-lined Delancey Place, this main bedroom houses a large walk-in closet, original fireplace, crown moulding and south facing windows for abundant sunshine. The en-suite marble bath offers both a soaking tub and glass enclosed walk-in shower. Connecting to the owner?s bedroom and just off the hall is a beautiful library or sitting room with gas fireplace, floor to ceiling built-in shelving, and bay window at the back, making the entire second floor the owner?s sanctuary. For added convenience a walk-in closet leads to another bath offering serpentine stone counters and a seated walk-in steam shower. French doors with opaque shades lead to a private balcony with city views.
The third level offers two more bedroom suites that are connected by walk-through closets - a front bedroom with sleek, modern granite and glass appointed bathroom and a large rear bedroom with built in desk, shelving and it?s own full bath with ceramic tile and shower tub combination. Off of the stair hall the laundry room sits on this level- an oversized walk-in space perfect for washing, folding, and storing linens.

Let sunshine from the skylight over the stairwell lead you up to the fourth level. A quiet guest suite sits right at the top of the steps, and offers its own private bath. Down the hall, you will find a true wardrobe room, lined with cedar closets for incredible storage and a staircase leading to the roof access point. At the front of the house, you?ll find a large office room, with classic wood library shelving built-in to the east wall, and mansard dormers overlooking the street.

When it comes to the distinction of a large Rittenhouse townhome, 2023 Delancey Place is the epitome. Meticulously maintained inside and out, with parking, outdoor space, dimmable recessed lighting, custom built-ins, and fireplaces throughout the home. Just steps to the neighborhood?s namesake Rittenhouse Square park and an array of shops and fine dining, including Parc, Barclay Prime, The Love, and Devon Seafood. Within the Greenfield Elementary School catchment and a short distance to the Philadelphia School. Just across the river from Amtrak?s 30th Street Station, Drexel, and the University of Pennsylvania academic campus and hospitals.
