330 Monroe Street

Three of Philadelphia's first-ever Michelin-recognized restaurants are within a one block radius of this front door. A James Beard award winning sushi chef is a four minute walk the other way. Meredith, the highest ranked elementary school in the Philadelphia school district, is close enough to walk to on a coffee break. That's Monroe Street on a Tuesday - a quiet, tree-lined side street where the original brick facades and ornate cornices do the talking. Inside, the layout actually makes sense. Walk in at street level to a living room that runs a full 11 by 13, anchored by a fireplace that gives the space some character and warmth that a fresh renovation usually takes out. Head back through the stair hall to the eat-in kitchen: white shaker cabinets with stainless steel appliances. It opens straight onto an 11 by 9 patio out back. Upstairs, each bedroom gets its own floor and its own bath. Not a shared hall bath split between two rooms, which is how most rowhouse layouts around here handle it. Second floor: a bedroom up front, 11 by 13, with generous closet space and a full bath just past the stairs. Third floor: the same setup for the primary, another bedroom that size with its own closet, its own bath, and its own fireplace. The stairwell ties all three floors together and runs open the whole way up, so light from the top floor reaches down into the rooms below it. Below it all, a finished basement adds the flex space every rowhouse buyer wishes they had. A home office on Monday, a lounge for Friday movie night, a guest room, whatever you need it to be. Central heating and air conditioning fully replaced in 2024, water heater 2021, basement fully waterproofed in 2018. Fresh paint throughout, deep cleaned top to bottom. Outside, Fabric Row runs the length of this block on 4th Street, the country's oldest fabric district, still stocked with the tailors and textile shops that gave it the name. But it's not just fabric anymore. Vintage clothing at Moore Vintage Archive and Wayward Collection. Gifts and stationery at Merrygold and Wallflower. Global home goods at Grand Souk. All within a couple hundred feet of this front door. Then dinner at Ambra or Southwark, coffee at Ace Outpost, and a Sunday with nowhere you need to be. 330 Monroe St. 2 bed, 2 full bath, finished basement, patio, two fireplaces, 1,080 square feet just around the corner from the stretch of 4th Street where the food scene just made national news.
