Description

Location. Style. Comfort. History. Green Space. 621 Lombard offers it all. Perfectly situated in Washington Square West at the crossroads of Society Hill, Queen Village, and Bella Vista, this home places you within steps of the city’s best dining, shopping, and cultural destinations. Directly across from Starr Garden Park, the property greets you with a quintessential historic brick façade—the kind that defines Philadelphia’s timeless charm. Step inside through the classic six-panel door and you’ll find a warm, inviting interior that seamlessly blends historic character with modern comfort. The main living level features original pine floors, abundant natural light filtered through lush greenery, and a reimagined historic fireplace, rebuilt with an efficient wood-burning insert. Built-in cabinetry flanks the fireplace wall, providing both function and beauty, while thoughtful details like a mirrored cabinet and coat closet add everyday convenience. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, designed for both style and utility. A Carrara marble peninsula with seating is framed by an exposed brick arch with custom shelving. White Shaker cabinets, a herringbone marble backsplash, and black granite counters complement high-end stainless steel appliances. A built-in dining banquette with surrounding cabinetry adds charm and maximizes storage. From here, modern French doors open to a private 500-square-foot landscaped garden—a rare urban retreat ideal for entertaining, grilling, or simply relaxing under the shade of mature trees. Upstairs, the second floor offers two bright and spacious bedrooms, accented by original pine floors, crown molding, and elegant paneling. A full hall bath features classic subway tile, a tiled tub/shower, and striking blue accents for a pop of character. The third-floor owner’s suite is a true sanctuary. The spacious, gabled-ceiling bedroom includes custom built-ins, dual closets, and a dedicated media niche. Across the hall, a dressing area with additional closets leads to a luxurious en-suite bath featuring floor-to-ceiling subway tile, Portuguese-inspired flooring, a frameless glass shower with dual shower heads, and a double vanity with oversized mirrored storage. Additional highlights include a full basement with laundry, ample storage, and convenient Bilco doors for direct street access. All of this comes with an unbeatable location—within a 15-minute walk to the Avenue of the Arts, Chinatown, Old City, Passyunk Avenue, and the Italian Market, plus Whole Foods just a few blocks away.
