Welcome to 704 S. Front Street, a historic colonial masterpiece with a Quaker-aligned heritage dating back to 1752. Originally built by Nathaniel Irish, this beautifully restored home is one of the first to grace the Philadelphia historic registry. It seamlessly combines authentic historical elements with modern amenities, offering a rare chance to own a piece of Philadelphia's storied past.
Upon entering, you'll be captivated by the original architectural features, such as eight functioning fireplaces, intricate dental molding, and impressive stone archways in the finished basement. The second-floor family room is bathed in natural light and showcases a unique wood wall with inlaid words, while every room offers breathtaking views of the Delaware River to the east.
The property's rich Quaker history includes ownership by the Philadelphia Kirkbride family for 30 years, followed by a Quaker couple dedicated to meticulous 18th-century historic preservation. The 1980s restoration, led by renowned Quaker contractor Ted Nichols, has preserved the home's unique charm and character, making it a true gem for enthusiasts of Colonial Philadelphia.
Modern updates complement the historical significance, with a new roof installed in 2018, updated HVAC systems, recent brick pointing, and freshly repainted interiors. The spacious brick patio in the back provides an ideal setting for outdoor gatherings and relaxation.
Situated in a prime location, this unique colonial home offers a blend of historical charm and modern comfort. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia's past while shaping your future in this extraordinary property.
