Description

The adjacent kitchen has been completely...Welcome to 429 Gaskill Street — a truly special, extensively upgraded residence with deeded parking right out front, offering the perfect blend of thoughtful design, modern comfort, and an exceptional sense of community in the heart of Society Hill. Tucked away on a quiet block, this home delivers privacy, space, and style rarely found in the city.
Inside, a dramatic two-story dining area sets the tone, filled with natural light and architectural interest. The adjacent kitchen has been completely reimagined with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a full sized fridge, making it as functional as it is beautiful. Overlooking the kitchen and dining space is a warm and inviting living room featuring hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and a fireplace — an ideal space for everyday living or entertaining.
Upstairs, the third and fourth floors provide flexible living with four generously sized bedrooms. The primary suite offers a serene escape, complete with a custom closet and a beautifully renovated double vanity bath. Additional bedrooms are bright and well-proportioned, complemented by updated bathrooms and a conveniently relocated laundry area. Throughout the home, thoughtful improvements — from new flooring and fresh finishes to custom upgrades in almost every room— reflect careful attention to both comfort and design.
What truly sets this home apart is the outdoor experience, thoughtfully designed across two levels. On the ground floor, a rear door opens directly to the home’s signature “grotto” — a spa-like retreat with a cedar-accented hot tub installed in 2024, ambient lighting, and a beautifully finished, private space to unwind year-round. Just beyond, you’ll find access to an expansive, gated shared courtyard exclusive to a small number of homes — a rare city amenity that feels like a hidden park, where neighbors gather and kids can play safely just steps from your back door.
One level up off the living room, sliding glass doors open to a private second-story deck, recently refinished and ideal for morning coffee, grilling, or dining outside. The separation of spaces creates a perfect balance: a true private deck for everyday living, plus direct access to a larger green courtyard for community, play, and entertaining.
Behind the scenes, the home has been extensively upgraded with major infrastructure improvements, including a new HVAC system, updated water heater, rooftop solar panels, and EV charging capability, adding efficiency, peace of mind, and long-term value.
Beyond the home itself, the neighborhood is an absolute dream. From friendly neighbors and annual family block parties to nearby parks, playgrounds, and the Old Pine Community Center just around the corner, the location offers a rare mix of community warmth and Center City convenience — all within the award-winning McCall School catchment and just a short stroll to shops, restaurants, and the waterfront.
This is city living at its best: turnkey, thoughtfully upgraded, and filled with character — a home that truly stands apart.
