About this home
Welcome to 2136 Saint James Place — an exceptionally rare opportunity to own within the intimate, architecturally distinctive enclave of the English Village, quietly tucked away in the highly sought-after Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully renewed over the years, this remarkable residence reflects true pride of ownership at every turn. Offering approximately 1,700 square feet of refined living space, with custom-made double-glazed Marvin windows on all floors and in all rooms. The home features three spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a dedicated home office, and a private outdoor terrace. A gracious entry vestibule leads to a well-proportioned living room, dining area, and kitchen, complemented by beautiful hardwood floors throughout. The layout unfolds effortlessly, creating an inviting setting equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. The living room is anchored by a charming wood-burning fireplace, while oversized windows frame picturesque views of the lush, landscaped courtyard and bathe the interior in natural light. The formal dining room comfortably accommodates six to eight guests and extends seamlessly to a private terrace — an idyllic setting for morning coffee or intimate al fresco evenings.
The chef’s gourmet kitchen is a standout centerpiece, impeccably executed in both design and craftsmanship. Appointed with premium Wolf and Subzero appliances, expansive countertops, abundant pantry storage, and bespoke custom cabinetry, it seamlessly blends timeless elegance with everyday functionality. The second floor is devoted to the exquisite primary suite, filled with natural light and complemented by a spacious custom-fitted walk-in closet. A beautifully appointed marble bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower and built-in medicine cabinet creates a serene retreat. A versatile home office or den completes this level and can easily function as an additional bedroom, if desired. The third floor offers two generously sized bedrooms and one full bathroom, providing comfort and privacy for family or guests. An unfinished basement with a dedicated laundry area presents excellent potential for additional finished living space. Designed by renowned architect Spencer Roberts in the early 1920’s, and comprising just 20 homes, the English Village remains one of Philadelphia’s most coveted hidden jewels. This quintessential townhouse embodies the very best of city living. Situated within the award-winning Greenfield School catchment, the location is simply unmatched — just moments from Rittenhouse, Fitler Square, the Schuylkill River Trail, 30th Street Station, and I-76 (Expressway). Residents enjoy effortless access to Center City’s premier dining, and world-renowned medical institutions, all while discreetly nestled within a private enclave that feels like a true urban oasis in the heart of the city....
