1420 S Howard Street

Designed from the ground up for abundant, effortless hosting, this contemporary townhome in Pennsport breaks entirely away from standard city constraints. This property seamlessly pairs grand social spaces with two highly sought-after practical assets: an attached two-car garage and an active ten-year tax abatement. Behind the home, a shared rear driveway offers a quiet, suburban cul-de-sac feel right within the city fabric. The expansive second floor serves as a sun-drenched, open-concept entertainment hub anchored by wide-plank, matte-finish engineered hardwoods. The minimalist chef’s kitchen features sleek European flat-panel cabinetry in a rich charcoal wood-grain finish, bright quartz countertops, a stone-tile backsplash, and a premium stainless steel appliance package. The center island comfortably seats four, serving as a natural gathering spot that flows seamlessly into a distinct dining area and a grand living space. For fluid indoor-outdoor hosting, sliding glass doors open directly to a private balcony ideal for evening cocktails and alfresco dining. With a flexible three-to-four bedroom layout and three and a half luxury baths, the home provides exceptional privacy for overnight guests or an elite home office setup. The primary suite serves as a tranquil, hotel-caliber retreat complete with a designer walk-in closet, custom built-ins, and its own private balcony. Its ensuite is lined with large-format porcelain tile, a double floating vanity, and a curbless glass walk-in shower with a custom rain shower head. Premium finishes carry through to the minimalist powder room, which anchors an authentic wall-mounted Krion Bath by Porcelanosa solid-surface sink. Deep versatility continues on the fully finished lower level, perfect for a secondary media lounge, home theater, or private fitness studio. For a true statement gathering, the sprawling, private roof deck spans the entire footprint of the home, delivering unobstructed 360-degree panoramic views of the Center City skyline. Modern infrastructure elevates daily living with a wall-mounted Qolsys IQ Panel 4 smart home security hub and high-efficiency, smart climate control. Tucked off the main grid yet steps from Pennsport favorites like Herman’s Coffee, Herron Park, and Dickinson Square Park, this property completely redefines modern city entertaining.
