239 Quince St
Description
Step inside and you'll feel it immediately....Welcome to the street that makes people stop and stare. Washington Square West has a lot going for it — incredible restaurants, walkable everything, that unmistakable Philly energy — but this cobblestone block? Being one of the area's premier streetscapes for wedding photography, it's the kind of thruway you screenshot and send to your friends. And right here on it is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom home built in 1850 that somehow only gets better with time.
Step inside and you'll feel it immediately. Warm hardwood floors, a working gas fireplace, beautifully restored wood trim — this home has character, the kind you can't fake and can't buy at a big box store. The kitchen is bright and functional with stainless appliances, great cabinet space, and a skylight that floods the room with the kind of natural light that makes even a Tuesday morning feel good.
Both bedrooms have their own en suite bath — the second floor bedroom is cozy and private, and the third floor bedroom is sunny, airy, and honestly the kind of room you'll never want to leave. Whether you need a primary suite plus a dedicated guest room or a home office that actually has its own bathroom, this layout just works.
Downstairs, a fully finished basement gives you real flex space — home office, gym, wine cellar, you dream it — plus a dedicated laundry room with washer and dryer.
And the location? It's genuinely unbeatable. Pennsylvania Hospital is two blocks away...Jefferson is 1 block away. There's a parking garage with monthly options one block away (yes, really). Whole Foods and Mom's Organic are both nearby. The restaurants, the cafés, the boutiques, the nightlife — it's all right outside your door on streets that happen to be impossibly charming.
This is the one. Come see it before someone else does.
