A stunner hiding behind its understated front façade, this beautifully designed Rittenhouse Square end-of-row townhouse revels in 1963 Mid-Century Modern glamour, with four large skylights bringing an abundance of light to the 2-story atrium and living room on the first floor. Beyond the classic-yet-completely-up-to-date kitchen and spacious dining area, sliding glass doors lead to a walled private rear garden. There’s also a front garage plus a tall partial basement with laundry and workshop spaces.____ From upstairs, open-railed stairs and halls overlook the spacious first floor, while a west wall of windows looks out on the adjacent sparkling Lombard Swim Club pool down below. There are three- bedroom-&-bath suites plus an open study. A Juliet balcony overlooks the back garden, and a roomy, well-planned roof deck has space for landscaping and can accommodate a private dinner party under the stars.____ Located about 5 blocks from Rittenhouse Square itself and in the Greenfield School catchment area, the house is also just up the street from the Philadelphia School. And all the best that center city Philadelphia has to offer is close at hand.
