    What's special

    A rare opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia history once owned by one of the most iconic boxers of all time, Muhammad Ali. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street, this remarkable home was once purchased as a personal retreat and training base for the legendary boxer with many original features still preserved. Upon entering you can see why this home is so special. Its comfortable yet opulent interior sets the tone for the elegance that unfolds throughout - from meticulously crafted ceiling beams to beautiful chandeliers and the very same stone fireplace that was once used by the Ali family. The ground level offers a bedroom that could be used for an office or bonus room and has an attached bath. The main floor will take you back in time with many original details in the formal living room with a wood-burning stone surround fireplace, a bedroom with an attached full bath, the kitchen with original wood panel detail, a large sunroom with sliding doors out to the back yard and pool that once was the center of relaxation and entertainment for Muhammad and his family. The upper level of the home is completely dedicated to the grand main suite complete with an attached en-suite bath and original round tub that you can imagine was a comfort after many tough trainings. Impress your guests with a swanky lower-level lounge area and bar. There is even a detached part of the home that can be used as a private gym or extra storage. Such a unique property with a stone exterior, circular driveway, appointed landscaping, and sits on almost a half acre of land. Great location close to Morris Park, shopping, public parks, and public transportation. Schedule a private showing today and step into a world where history meets refined living.
