1807 TOWNHOUSE

This attractive, spacious Society Hill home, built in 1807, was completely renovated by its present owners. Today, the open, modern plan of the interior may make you forget that this historic building has given shelter to Philadelphians for two centuries.

In 1865 the front of the property was demolished and all of the floors were raised – making the ceilings on the first floor 13 feet high. The marble steps and double doors were built in 1865 creating a grand entrance. A state-of-the art kitchen was added by the present owners. The two guest rooms, both on the 2nd floor, have queen size beds and private, ensuite baths. A continental breakfast is available in the dining room in the mornings.

LOCATION

This home is desirably located in the Society Hill neighborhood in the Historic District. Walk to Independence National Historic Park and all of the major historic sites. Many wonderful restaurants are within walking distance, public transportation is at the corner and the subway is just a few blocks away.

I enjoyed my stay at 1807 Townhouse very much. The hosts are very nice, and friendly but not in an intrusive way. I felt comfortable and free to come and go as I please. Breakfast was simple, but just right to get a good start for the day.The B&B is located in an ideal location, within walking distance of so many things and places.
