Property Description
Spanning approximately 2,200 square feet across three levels, this three-bedroom, three-bath residence offers exceptional width, volume, and versatility. Once designed to house horse-drawn carriages, the home still reflects that legacy today—with the rare opportunity to reintroduce garage parking on the first level.
Beyond a slate-floored vestibule, the entry level unfolds into a generously scaled family room wrapped in rich walnut paneling—warm, inviting, and full of character. Formerly the carriage bay, this flexible space can function as a den, media room, or home office, while also offering the ability to convert back to garage parking.. Toward the rear, a private bedroom suite with a full vintage bath creates a quiet retreat for guests or extended stays. This level is completed by a cedar closet, dedicated storage room, and a utility/laundry area.
Ascend to the second floor revealing the home's most dramatic transformation—a fully renovated, light-filled living level designed for modern living. Stretching across the front of the home, the living and dining spaces are framed by oversized windows and French doors that open to a Juliette balcony overlooking Van Pelt Street. Natural light pours in, creating an airy, effortless flow that feels both elevated and inviting.
At the center, a beautifully updated kitchen anchors the space with clean lines, custom cabinetry, and an expansive island designed for gathering. The layout is seamless and intuitive, connecting kitchen, dining, and living areas in a way that feels both functional and refined. A fireplace adds warmth and depth, creating a natural focal point within the open living space. Toward the rear, a private bedroom suite with a brand-new full bath offers flexibility, along with an additional room ideal for a home office or guest space.
The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite—a quiet, sunlit retreat positioned at the front of the home overlooking Van Pelt Street. Generous in scale, the bedroom offers the kind of proportions rarely found, complemented by built-in shelving and a sense of calm separation from the rest of the home. A walk-in closet provides ample storage, while the adjoining bath—finished in vintage tile—adds character and an opportunity for future customization.
Above, the potential for a rooftop deck introduces an exciting next chapter—offering the opportunity to create a private outdoor escape with sweeping city views, perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining.
Located within the highly sought-after Greenfield School catchment, and just moments from neighborhood cafés, markets, restaurants, and the green spaces of Fitler Rittenhouse Square, this home offers a rare balance of tranquility and accessibility.
A home defined by history, scale, and opportunity, 406 S. Van Pelt Street invites its next owner to build upon its legacy in one of Philadelphia's most beloved neighborhoods.
