Property Description

Welcome to 704 S. Front Street, a historic colonial house with a rich Quaker-aligned history dating back to 1752. This beautifully restored home, originally built by Nathaniel Irish, is one of the first houses on the Philadelphia historic registry. With a perfect blend of authenticity and modern amenities, this property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia's history.

As you step inside, you'll be greeted by the original architectural details, including eight working fireplaces, original dental molding, and amazing stone archways in the finished basement. The second-floor family room is flooded with light and features a wonderful wood wall with inlaid words, while all rooms offer stunning views of the Delaware River to the east.

The property boasts a rich Quaker history, having been owned by the Philadelphia Kirkbride family for 30 years starting in the forties, then sold to a Quaker couple who were passionately committed to accurate and detailed 18th-century historic preservation. The house was restored in the 80s under the direction of Ted Nichols, a well-known Quaker contractor known for his work in historic restoration. This restoration work has richly preserved the house's unique charm and character, making it a true gem for enthusiasts of Colonial Philadelphia.

In addition to the historical significance, the property has seen modern updates, including a new roof in 2018, HVAC systems, recent brick pointing, and repainted interiors. The house also offers a spacious brick patio in the back, providing a perfect spot for outdoor gatherings and relaxation.

With a prime location and a rich history, this unique colonial home is a rare find that offers both historical charm and modern comfort. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia's past while creating your own future in this remarkable property.
