Property Description

Bonjour, South Philly! Welcome to 1640 S. 4th Street, where French Chateau-inspired charm meets South Philadelphia living, and where finding a home directly on Dickinson Square Park is about as rare as finding a parking spot in Rittenhouse on a Saturday night.


Completely reimagined from top to bottom with a whole new layout, this home is more than just a pretty face. Inside, you'll find soaring 10+ foot ceilings, gorgeous hardwood flooring throughout, upgraded trim work, and a beautiful blend of recessed and designer ambient lighting. In other words, the details have definitely not been overlooked.


The kitchen is nothing short of swoon-worthy, featuring breathtaking Perla White quartz countertops, kitchen island, stainless steel appliances, and gas cooking. It's the kind of kitchen that makes you want to host dinner parties, even if your signature dish is takeout.


Head upstairs to the second floor, where you'll find not one, but TWO primary suites. The main suite features a spacious walk-in closet and a beautiful private ensuite, while the junior primary offers its own private bathroom. No fighting over bathroom time here! You'll also find the convenience of second-floor laundry, because nobody wants to carry baskets up and down three flights of stairs.


The third floor offers two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, giving you plenty of room for guests, family, a home office, or that hobby you swear you're finally going to pick back up.


Need even more room? The fully finished basement delivers additional living space along with a convenient half bath. And when it's time to unwind, step outside into your own private outdoor retreat, complete with a whimsical wisteria mural hand-painted by a local artist. A little bit of art, a little bit of magic, and a whole lot of charm.


And then there's the location. Situated directly on the highly desirable Dickinson Square Park, this is the kind of address that rarely hits the market. Enjoy the green space, neighborhood charm, and all the perks of park-front living right outside your door. When you're ready to venture beyond the park, you're just a short stroll from local favorites like Rebel & Wolf Cafe and Moonshine Philly, with all the shopping, dining, nightlife, and neighborhood buzz of East Passyunk Avenue just a short distance away. Coffee dates, dinner plans, weekend brunches... consider your social calendar officially booked.

Now down to the dirty details: This home has all new interior plumbing and electric (including upgraded 200 amp service), a french drain and sump pump in the basement, dual-zone Heat & A/C, recoated roof, and all new mechanicals.


Beautifully reimagined, thoughtfully designed, and full of personality, 1640 S. 4th Street brings a little French flair to one of South Philadelphia's most beloved neighborhoods. Très magnifique, wouldn't you say?
