Description
A rare architectural oasis along one of Society Hill's most storied residential blocks. 622 Spruce Street pairs the openness and volume of a New York style loft with the warmth, history and privacy of a garden home. Offering 3,724 square feet, four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, a finished lower level, an extraordinary private garden with hot tub and two-car garage parking. This residence occupies an unusually generous 20' x 101' lot extending all the way from Spruce Street to Cypress Street. Built circa 1804, the home underwent an extensive down-to-the-studs architectural transformation documented by archival Amburn/ Jarosinski plans. The result is a home that honors its historic origins while delivering a remarkably modern way of living.The home's remarkable floor plan creates long sightlines from the front through its glass solariums to the garden beyond, drawing natural light deep into the interior. The loft-like first floor features soaring ceilings, three-quarter-inch red oak flooring protected with Bona Traffic HD, bespoke millwork, a wood-burning fireplace, and audio seamlessly integrated into the ceiling cabinetry. Designer Matthew Williamson wallcoverings enrich the entry foyer and power room, complemented by an RH chandelier and smart- controlled Philips Hue and LIFX architectural lighting.The chef's kitchen and light-filled rear solarium flow together, offering custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, wraparound granite counters, and a floating marble island. The professional appliance suite-Sub-Zero, Wolf, Dacor, and Asko. Fresh paint unifies the entire interior. Outside, the secluded garden sanctuary boasts mature plantings, a fountain, and a temperature-controlled spa powered by commercial-grade Pentair equipment. Custom Ipe decking, built-in bench seating, and corten steel planters define the space. Imported Dutch Hertog Antique Oak wide-plank flooring with a substantial 1/4-inch wear layer anchors the upper levels and finished basement brings warmth and continuity anchors the upper floors and lower level. The entire second floor is an expansive primary suite featuring a solarium lounge accented by Matthew Williamson wallcoverings, fireplace, laundry, bespoke dressing room, walk-in closets, cedar storage, and green-marble bath suites. The third floor offers an adaptable executive office or bedroom in the rear of the home wrapped in Matthew Williamson wallcovering, opening through Andersen doors to a private balcony. The light-filled front bedroom offers three substantial windows and two closets. This level also includes extensive custom storage, a dedicated housekeeping pantry and a full bath.The fourth-floor provides a spacious loft-life bedroom retreat with en-suite bathroom, walk-in cedar closet and independent Panasonic mini-split climate control, supported by whole-home three-zone HVAC.The finished lower level includes a media lounge, craft studio, mirrored cedar walk-in closets, and an atmospheric wine cellar and chamber music room with acoustic resonance and updated heritage masonry.Exceptionally rare two-car garage parking anchors the Cypress Street end of the property, secured by a new commercial-grade smart garage-door ( $20,000 upgrade.)
