Getting ready to move for spring? This 2 bedroom 2 bathroom + den apartment on 22nd and Lombard in Fitler Square has the bedrooms located at opposite ends of the apartment, an eat in kitchen, and a LARGEEE rooftop deck! Currently listed at $2,695/month
There is also a great 2 Bedroom 1 Bathroom apartment in Fitler Square with high end finishes & a jacuzzi tub on the same block as great restaurants & bars (including Honeys!) , a 10 minute walk to Rittenhouse square- listed at $1,850/month
How UNREAL is this bathroom? I love the huge shower with the tub enclosed in it. It is perfection: the subway tile, glittering mosaics, gorgeous listeo design around the perimter of the shower, and intricate window.
Believe it or not, this house is actually in King of Prussia! (& currently under contract).
I’m definitely saving this photo for future inspiration
One of my design dreams is to find an amazing vintage, colorful pull down world map and hang it RIGHT above a colorful living room couch! I think the couple who created this living room (click photo to see more) nailed it!

Seeing ‘The Philadelphia Story’ is on my list of things to do since every time we drive by the Hope Montgomery Scott estate in Radnor Twp- upon which the move and Audrey Hepburn’s character is based- he talks about. The Androssan estate has been in the news lately with talks of building homes on some of the land- but I was really curious about what THE home- the big house- looked like inside. After some digging I found this trove of Photos from 2012. Click the photo to view
A third floor walk-up just became available on the gorgeous Delancey Place in Fitler Square at $1,250/month! Built in book shelves and some exposed brick. If anyone is interested let me know!
I’m sure many of you in Philadelphia have been to Frankford Hall, Barcadia or Fette Sau- all located up in Fishtown. The neighborhood is beginning to attract a young crowd looking to buy and renovate homes. Check out this awesome Reno from the neighborhood from Apartment Therapy. click the photo to check out the house!
Did you know that America’s oldest residential street, Elfreth’s Alley, is located in Philadelphia? This Saturday is the 2013 Elfreth’s Alley Fete Day. Purchase your ticket and step back in time with period characters who used to inhabit the street, and tour 12 of the homes- which are all still lived in today! I love historic houses (check out the Tenement Museum next time you are in NYC!!!!!!) so I can’t wait to check out these homes this weekend!
I often pass by huge gorgeous old brownstones in Philadelphia and wonder what it was like to live there when it was a single family home- not apartments, a museum, a library… etc that is today. I’ve walked by the Stotesbury Mansion on Rittenhouse, built in 1870 many times and wondered about its history. Did you know that it was a wedding present for Thomas McKean, a descendent of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence? In 1890, Mr. Edward T. Stotesbury purchased the home as an addition to his adjoining residence with the press calling it the largest and grandest townhouse in all of the East Coast.
