Tucked along one of Society Hill's most picturesque blocks, 228 Spruce Street blends timeless historic charm with thoughtful modern updates. This beautifully renovated home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a powder room, hardwood floors throughout, and a layout that combines elegance and function. Enter the home through a vestibule with built-in coat storage, then into the living room lined with beautiful custom millwork, a built-in dry bar, and a gas-burning fireplace. The kitchen has been thoughtfully appointed with an abundance of custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a dining nook. French doors lead to the private outdoor patio-perfect for morning coffee or al fresco dining. A custom turn stair leads to the 2nd level, which offers the primary bedroom with custom closets, an adjacent bathroom with a tub/shower combo, a single vanity sink, and a built-in cabinet. Also on this level is a guest bedroom (currently used as a den) with south-facing windows. The 3rd story offers a bedroom suite with a built-in Murphy bed, providing convenience for guests and serving as a home office during the day. A gas fireplace and en-suite bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower complete this level. The lower level of this home features a powder room, laundry, and storage. The current owners made many recent upgrades, including new HVAC, architectural window replacements, lighting, hardwood flooring, patio hardscaping, a new washer & dryer, and the custom Murphy bed. A rare opportunity to own a classic Philadelphia home that balances history, comfort, and location in one of the city's most beloved neighborhoods.
