"Gothic Villa in the heart of Center City." Prepare to be enchanted by this tucked away treasure, on the quiet corner of Franklin Street and Rodman in Washington Square West. Gas lamps and other historic accents set the tone on this picturesque cobblestone street that connects to Bradford Alley. Authentic brick, wrought iron, this corner home is a natural beauty. Sunlight on 3 sides. Dramatic curved staircase, all custom Gothic doorways (some were church windows), antique hardware, high ceilings, skylight on the top floor - and Rock Hudson's couch in the living room. A house for making memories. Stroll from Starr Garden on either Rodman Street or Bradford Alley and approach 723 Rodman St. Enjoy the elegant entrance into this "petite mansion" with sweeping staircase, marble mantel fireplace, hardwood floors, interesting carved wood and details that give a majestic inviting feel. Living room with plenty of windows to the right, an area to fit a table/dining to the left. The kitchen flows to the peaceful outdoors also accessible by a beautiful gate on Franklin Street to the left of the front door. Up the stairs to a second living room with high ceilings, fireplace, soft streaming light and comfortable space for entertaining or relaxing/den. Full tiled bath with shower/tub. Large bedroom on this floor, too. Up to the top floor crowned by a skylight that brightens all 3 floors. 2 nicely proportioned bedrooms + another full tiled bath. Pass a coat closet on your way down to the full basement with many new systems + cedar closets fantastic for storage. Very special showcase property in a location that's close to all that Washington Square West & Center City have to offer - Starr Garden, Washington Square, Antiques Row & local boutiques, Magic Garden + Whole Foods, ACME, the Italian Market, Pennsylvania and Jefferson Hospitals.
