A RARE OPPORTUNITY IN FITLER SQUARE. - Live Luxuriously, Earn Instantly, or Reimagine Entirely. Formerly a five-unit Victorian residence, 2217 Locust Street has been thoughtfully reimagined into a dynamic three-unit property offering exceptional flexibility for investors and owner-occupants alike. This handsome red-brick townhouse features two income-producing apartments on the first floor, along with a sprawling, owner-occupied residence across the upper two levels - topped by a breathtaking rooftop terrace. The upper owner residence lives like a grand single-family home, with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, though currently configured to maximize lifestyle flexibility. The primary suite includes a large dressing area, original fireplaces, and renovated baths. One additional bedroom is used as a den with a built-in bar, while another has been converted into a library/office with custom shelving and a rolling ladder. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with KraftMaid cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in banquette. Upstairs, a full-floor private rooftop terrace offers two levels, Trex decking, integrated lighting, water and electric hookups, and unobstructed skyline views - a true outdoor sanctuary in the heart of the city. Each of the rental units on the first floor is unique in layout and character. The front studio retains dramatic 14-foot ceilings, ornate original moldings, a marble fireplace, and a sparkling chandelier sourced from a Society Hill estate. The rear one bedroom unit spans two levels connected by a spiral staircase, with a gas fireplace, bay windows, modern kitchen, and access to a private garden patio—ideal for tenants or long-term guests. Both are currently under-rented, offering strong upside potential. Perfectly situated in Fitler Square, this pet-friendly residence is steps away from fine dining, one-of-a-kind shopping, 30th Street Station, the Schuylkill River Walking & Bike Path, and Rittenhouse Square. Close to UPenn/Drexel campuses, HUP/CHOP hospitals, and major highways.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
