Charming Quintessential Society Hill The ideal combination of character and convenience is rarely available in Society Hill. This is the quiet, premier block of American St. The picturesque cobblestone street is only one block in length, running between Delancey and Spruce. 318 S American St has been restored to its original charm and freshly painted throughout. Outstanding crown molding, chair rail and fireplaces have recently been been recreated. Step into the living room and dining room filled with natural light. Don’t miss any of the special features. The fireplace mantels are both custom. The built in china closets and magnificent James R Moder chandeliers make this a very inviting space. The private patio area between the dining room and the kitchen is the perfect spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The kitchen is light and bright with high end appliances. A private powder room was just added in the back hall, across from the beautiful cherry back door. Step outside the back door to a private garden. Right beyond the garden wall is your own, deeded parking space. The lower level is beautifully finished with a brick fireplace, white oak hardwood floor, exposed beams and numerous builtins. The laundry room and another, new powder room are conveniently located right off the family room area. On your way to the second floor, don’t miss the office with unique window, hardwood floors, and builtin cabinetry. The second floor houses the primary bedroom with a full wall of closets and an amazing new bath with large, custom, double vanity, soaking tub, glass shower with marble tile, fireplace, and cubby as well as storage cabinets. As you go up to the third floor you will find yet another outdoor space. There is a cozy roof deck. The third floor has two more bedrooms and a shared bath. The front bedroom has an original fireplace. This is a rare opportunity to live in a carefully restored historic property with original pine flooring and six fireplaces, while enjoying the benefits of an all new 2 zone HVAC system, water softener, and water filter, as well as PARKING right outside your door. Parking fee is $1200 annually to association.
