Property Description
Welcome to 510 S 20th Street, an inviting 3-bedroom townhouse ideally situated in Rittenhouse Square and within the coveted Greenfield school catchment. An open dining or receiving room greets upon arrival. With an east-facing exposure, this front room is warmed by lovely morning light which beams through the entire main level. A well-appointed kitchen sits at the heart of the home, featuring classic black-and-white marble tile flooring, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances inclusive of a gas range, and a breakfast bar that seamlessly connects to the expansive living area. Beyond, the living room impresses with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a fireplace, and glass sliders that open to a private garden-an inviting extension of the living space. A charming powder room with newsprint wallpaper completes this level. Upstairs, the second floor includes two comfortable bedrooms with dual door closets, a full hall bathroom, a linen closet, and a dedicated laundry room with a Samsung washer and dryer. The entire third floor is devoted to a spacious primary suite, offering exceptional scale and versatility. The bedroom is filled with natural light while a custom dressing room provides abundant storage along with added space for a lounge or office. The en-suite bathroom features an antique-style vanity and a glass and tile shower enclosure. The finished lower level adds additional living space along with generous storage. All of this is set within one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods, just moments from Rittenhouse Square's acclaimed dining, shopping, and city conveniences. Additional considerations include the new main roof (2025), upgraded upper rear wall siding (2022), and newer windows across the 2nd floor and at the 3rd floor rear (2022). We look forward to showing you around this special property!
