Rare opportunity to own a spectacular and completely brand-new modern home in Society Hill. Situated at 110 Delancey Street, the home was originally built in the 1960s, replacing two Federal townhouses. The lot is 72 feet deep overall, with the house occupying approximately half of that. The brilliant top-to-bottom renovation of this dwelling was the capstone project of Cecil Baker, who has been called “an architect’s architect.” He is known for “a mix of calming symmetry and restless asymmetry,” according to Architect Magazine. Entering the front door, you’re met with a dramatic staircase to the first floor. At the top of the stair on the left is an architecturally hidden powder room. Turn left to enter the large open kitchen, which features a massive plate glass window overlooking Delancey Street. With long runs of counters, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Wolf double oven with cobalt blue ceramic interiors and a Wolf microwave under-mounted in the middle island, and a five burner gas stove, this fabulous kitchen also includes an island, wine cooler, breakfast bar, and sleek plentiful cupboards, including one with a lazy susan inside. Other amenities include a step-on trash compacter, Bosch dishwasher, ice maker, and wine cooler. The handle-less cabinetry by Poggenpohl simply pulls open. The Miele coffee maker is built in and speaks three languages. Not only is this kitchen elegant and streamlined, but also fabulously functional. Adjacent to the kitchen is a lavish, spacious great room/den. This features a massive piece of beautiful custom cabinetry housing a flat screen TV over a gas fireplace. At the south end of the living room is a huge window wall overlooking the private back yard. On the right of the entry stairs is a sleek dining room, also with a vast window overlooking Delancey. This space also features an abundance of built-in custom cabinetry for organizing and storage. Just behind the dining room is a spacious living room, also overlooking the back yard area. A perfect spot for entertaining, it features an elegant fireplace and sophisticated lighting.The back patio boasts luxurious brand-new assets that are unique in historic Society Hill: an in-ground waterfall swimming pool with resistant waves, hot tub, fire pit, retractable awning, an outdoor kitchen with grill, sink and refrigerator, and a dining area. Even the drains are carefully designed and artful. European White Oak flooring, concrete walls, shades of grey stone and glass half-walls, are repeating materials and hallmarks throughout the home.

The suite features huge double walk-in closets, full of custom cabinetry with shelving, drawers, hanging rods and a Dressing room/ Office.

On the third floor are two spacious bedrooms, each adjoining a bath in the middle. Light floods in from two large windows in each bedroom, and from smaller windows in the bath. The bath features a Robern medicine cabinet with torch lights, double sinks and Caesar-stone countertops. A multi-use room in the lower level runs the length of the house, from front to back. To reach the back yard, a basement door leads to the curved staircase inside a charming brick wall. The fourth bedroom is in the Lower level, with its own bathroom, closet and window.
