By the 1870s, substantial residences were being constructed along Spring Garden Street, including the architecturally distinctive group of c. 1875 homes encompassing 2101 to 2113 Spring Garden Street. More than 150 years later, 2111 remains an impressive example of the scale, craftsmanship & architectural beauty of the era. Designated on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1974, decades before the surrounding Spring Garden Historic District received its own designation, this is an extraordinary opportunity to own a totally renovated, freshly painted & move in ready historic semi detached residence combining 19th century architecture, private outdoor space, modern living & an unbeatable Philadelphia location! With the Philadelphia Homestead Exemption, estimated 2027 property taxes would be $16,056.
