Property Description
Discover a truly one-of-a-kind Philadelphia treasure at 513 South 13th Street. This unique property features two distinct, historic homes on a single RM1-zoned lot, offering unparalleled versatility in Center City. The main residence is a light-filled, . 4-bedroom, 2-bath home. Enter into an expansive open-concept living and dining area anchored by original hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and classic exposed brick. The kitchen leads directly to a shared courtyard—a peaceful transition to the rear of the property. The upper levels house four spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and access to a private roof deck with city views.
Tucked behind the courtyard is the "hidden" gem: a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath carriage house. Matching the main home's character with exposed brick and its own fireplace, this cottage is the ultimate flexible space. It is the perfect sanctuary for an aging parent, a prestigious "nanny suite," a secluded home office, or a pied-à-terre. Whether you live in one and rent the other or create a massive private family compound, this historic double-home estate is a rare find in Philadelphia.
