Property Description

Architecturally distinctive and exceptionally customized, 406 S. 6th Street is a rare 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Society Hill residence with deeded off-street parking that combines striking modern design with the kind of practical luxury that is almost impossible to find in the city. Beyond its dramatic split-level architecture (originally designed by Amburn/Jarosinski), tailored interiors with custom metalwork and refined finishes, and unforgettable outdoor spaces, this home offers an extraordinary amount of storage for an urban property, including an easily accessible attic, custom closets throughout and integrated built-ins. The layout unfolds through a series of intentional spaces: a soaring entry with a gorgeous chandelier, slate floors and an oversized custom coat closet leads to a perfectly placed powder room, a raised dining area with a built-in buffet, and a sleek custom kitchen with high end appliances and fixtures. This culminates in a dramatic sunken living room anchored by a sculptural fireplace/media wall and a wall of windows framing the beautifully reimagined and private rear garden featuring Ipe integrated seating and outdoor storage, and custom landscaping and hardscaping. This distinctive yet functional outdoor living space is a true highlight of the home, complemented by a delightful second-floor deck with picturesque views, creating a private urban retreat. On the second level, the primary suite offers a custom walk-in closet, three additional closets, and a spa-like bathroom. Down the hallway, a family room with custom built-ins overlooks the two-story entry and opens to a terrace with flower boxes and gorgeous architectural views. The third floor offers three additional bedrooms with custom closets, two bathrooms (one en suite), a bonus space perfect for a play area or reading nook, two oversized custom hall closets, and access to the large attic for additional storage. The lower level features a spacious finished basement with epoxy flooring and ample built-in storage alongside a dedicated laundry room and additional storage room with second refrigerator. The home sits beside pedestrian-only Waverly Street (directly accessible from the back yard), where the home’s side is framed by a stunning, massive ivy-covered brick wall, giving the property a setting and presence that are difficult to duplicate. Located in the heart of Society Hill, you are moments from the beauty of Washington Square, the greenery and playgrounds of Starr Garden and Three Bears Park, the Headhouse Farmers Market, legendary dining, and a short walk to Whole Foods Market, Acme and CVS. Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to experience luxury city living with genuine distinction! Schedule your showings today.
