The centuries-old cobblestone streets and red brick sidewalks of historic Society Hill act as the backdrop for 200 Spruce St. Thomas U. Walter, founding member of the American Institute of Architects, designed and built this 6 bed, 5.5 bath sunlit corner residence in 1837, and it has been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded every since. Highlights include 6-zoned HVAC, an elevator serving all levels, a private patio with a street entrance, and bonus living space in the finished basement. The home's stately exterior is classic Philadelphia, with a mix of stone and brick accented by window shutters and mature trees. Inside you're welcomed by a foyer with a show-stopping wood and metal center staircase, an elevator, a powder room, and a coat closet. At the front of this level, soaring ceilings, tall windows, and beautiful hardwoods frame the bright and airy living room. A stone fireplace anchors the space, while a wet bar aids in entertaining. Limestone tile floors extend from the dining room to the gourmet kitchen at the rear. Fitted with lots of custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a tile backsplash, this is sure to be the heart of the home. Off the kitchen, there's a private patio with street access and stairs leading to the lower level. Lively plants and outdoor furniture are all that's needed to create a garden oasis perfect for hosting friends and family. Back inside, the light-filled finished basement has plenty of space for a family room and a separate gym area, as well as a storage room with the gas furnace and gas water heater. Up on the home's second level, you'll find two bedroom suites on opposite ends. Each offers modern full bathrooms with double vanities and rainfall showers, ample closet space, refinished pine floors, and ample tall bright windows. The third level of the home features a similar layout, adding a laundry room off the hall. The top level has 2 more massive bedrooms that share a full bathroom.
