Blackwell Court! Welcome to 408B, a lovely two bedroom just off of Headhouse Square in Philly’s historical Society Hill. Upon entering the condominium through wrought iron gates, you will find yourself in a well manicured garden courtyard with lush magnolia and birch trees that a new homeowner will love watching bloom from the unit’s balcony. Low condo fees. The bi-level’s interior is flooded with natural light. High ceiling in the living and dining room features a vaulted skylight, eastern and western window exposures and upgraded lighting throughout. An open concept primary level features hardwood flooring, a wood burning fireplace and chef’s kitchen with updated stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage space behind timeless shaker cabinets. The first floor bedroom comfortably fits a full sized bed although it is currently used as a large office. A bespoke birch tree branch hand railing leads the way upstairs to the lofted primary bedroom suite which gets beautiful morning sunlight. The timeless bathroom houses full sized washer and dryer machines, a bathtub plus plenty of shelving storage space. Downstairs the hall closet has been expanded to optimize storage space under the staircase, the basement of the building has additional dedicated storage room for a new owner to stow their most loved belongings. Major systems have been recently updated including heating (2024) and air conditioning (2022), roof (2020), ceiling insulation and exterior deck (2018). For those with cars, the courtyard features a secure shortcut to an unaffiliated nearby parking garage with spaces available for a fee.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
