404 Pierce St, Philadelphia, PA 19148

Property Description

Welcome to 404 Pierce Street—a true one-of-one, top-to-bottom curated renovation in the heart of Pennsport that thoughtfully blends timeless craftsmanship with elevated modern design, far beyond the typical cookie-cutter city flip. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a statement with a patterned brick façade, custom Hardie back bump-out, and a striking fluted wood entry door crowned by a charming transom with integrated street numbers. Inside, real red oak hardwood floors anchor the space, while carefully reclaimed original details—an exposed brick nook and a fully restored original staircase—honor the home’s character. Custom wainscoting flows seamlessly into a built-in banquette dining nook, creating a warm and intentional main level that is both beautiful and highly functional. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring two-tone cabinetry, Taj Mahal quartz countertops, a custom limewash plaster vent hood, pot filler, appliance garage to discreetly house daily essentials, and an abundance of storage rarely found in city homes. Completing the first floor is a well-appointed powder room—an uncommon and highly desirable feature in Philadelphia rowhomes—finished with stylish wallpaper that adds personality and polish. Just beyond the kitchen, a generously sized rear patio offers the perfect setting for grilling, gardening, lounging, and entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find two well-proportioned bedrooms, each paired with its own design-forward bathroom. The hall bath offers a deep soaking tub and a conveniently located second-floor laundry center with additional cabinetry—no more hauling clothes to the basement. The primary suite is spacious and serene, with dual closets and a beautifully finished en-suite bath. The home is rounded out by a full-size basement that has been fully cleaned, restored, and proactively waterproofed with a French drain and vapor barrier system, providing peace of mind and flexible space for storage or a future living area. All major systems have been replaced, including a brand-new roof and windows, ensuring long-term durability and comfort. The property also benefits from a 10-year residential rehabilitation tax abatement (Ord. 961), offering meaningful tax savings for years to come. Just steps—less than 150 feet—from Dickinson Square Park and moments from beloved neighborhood staples like Moonshine Philly, Herman’s Coffee, Mifflin Tavern, and Horseman Wellness Club, this home delivers the perfect combination of exceptional build quality, thoughtful design, and an unbeatable Pennsport location—an offering that truly stands apart and is built to stand the test of time.
