On a cherry blossom-lined street in Newbold sits a rare Philadelphia find: a beautiful rowhome featuring a 1,600-square-foot secret garden. This unique home consists of two deeded parcels (1610 Wharton St and 1308 S 16th St) being sold together as one exceptional urban estate. This circa 1890 residence offers a tasteful blend of turnkey modern updates and preserved historic soul, including restored hardwood floors on the first floor and original stained-glass windows. The second floor hosts three bedrooms-including one with a stunning original built-in armoire- and a brand-new designer bathroom, while the third floor serves as a private primary suite, complete with a dressing room and a spa-like white marble bath featuring a soaking tub. The kitchen, newly renovated this year, is a biophilic showstopper: featuring elegant quartz countertops, gold accents, and a subtle green tile backsplash, with sliding glass doors that open directly into your private urban oasis. Indoor-outdoor living is seamless on the bluestone patio, where a custom cedar pergola and a mature magnolia tree provide a shaded sanctuary for dining and retreat. Nestled within a sassafras grove and surrounded by native flowering plants is a fully detached studio-a versatile, secluded space for a home office or creative retreat. This is a true unicorn property, bridging historic architecture with private green space on a scale rarely found in Philadelphia.
