Description
Experience a unique opportunity to own a piece of philadelphia’s architectural heritage at 307 s. chadwick street. this historically designated home, reimagined by architect frank weise between 1954 and 2003, exemplifies mid-century modern and postmodern design. upon his death, the building was completely restored, updated and maintained by his heirs.
originally a 19th-century carriage house, weise transformed the structure with a tripartite facade. the central brick section, inspired by louis kahn, showcases rationalist elements, while the prominent batten-seam, terne-metal mansard (replaced in copper in 2005) introduces a bold postmodern touch. a deeply projecting metal cornice adds a distinctive flair, and even functional features, like the furniture hoisting boom, are thoughtfully incorporated.
configured as a duplex, the property features frank weise’s studio/offices on the lower levels, while the upper floors, accessible via a private entrance, comprise the main residence. in total, the property offers three bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms, providing versatile living spaces. a one-car carport adds convenience in this central location. situated on the quaint chadwick street, once lined with carriage houses, the home provides a peaceful urban retreat with easy access to rittenhouse square’s amenities.
this residence is more than just a home; it’s a living piece of art reflecting philadelphia’s rich architectural evolution. seize the chance to own a landmark property that harmoniously blends historical charm with modernist innovation. for inquiries and to schedule a private viewing, please contact us today.
