Property Description
105 S 2nd Street is a huge 5-story quadruplex offering modern updates and original character in the heart of Old City/ Society Hill. Zoned for mixed use, the property currently has studios on the lower, first, and second levels, plus a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom apartment on the top three levels. The building would also be ideal for a storefront or a private single-family residence. Out front, there's a towering red brick facade befitting the neighborhood and a locking gate for added security. Steps at the center descend to a unique studio with lots of exposed wood and brick. There's plenty of space for hanging, working, and sleeping, along with a mini kitchen, a modern bathroom, and cool windows into the building's historic past. The unit on the first level has a private entrance that leads to a bright and airy space boasting gleaming hardwood floors, a full kitchen with a dishwasher, a laundry pair, and a full bathroom. A final doorway and staircase lead to the remaining apartments. The second floor has another large, modern studio with hardwoods and bright windows. Topping off the property is the biggest apartment. Its main level has hardwood floors, a living room featuring tall windows and built-ins, an open kitchen with counter seating, a laundry closet, and a half bathroom. Each of the upper levels has a large, sunlit bedroom suite with a full bathroom. In addition to everything inside, this unbeatable location earns a Walk Score of 99! The surrounding blocks are filled with some of the city's best shopping, dining, and entertainment. History is on display nearby at Independence Mall, plus a sprawling new riverfront park under construction will add to the hangout spots and holiday events steps away along the Delaware.
