James Hamilton, a partner in the historic Philadelphia Kelly Brick Company, built this for his own family in 1953. Throughout the property, you ll find rooms using leftover bricks from iconic buildings around the city . For example, bricks from Eastern State Penitentiary are found in the family room and the master bath green glazed tiles are from the Rohm and Haas headquarters on Independence Mall. Grace Kelly even had a bridal shower in this house! Beautiful, mature perennials and the large brick courtyard provide a gracious, private entrance to the home. The detached garage is connected by a covered portico to the house which leads directly to the kitchen door.

This area has new carpet and lots of windows and boasts plenty of storage as well as access to the attic. The dining area is adjacent to the kitchen and is open to the living room.
