About This Home

Welcome to 1217 S. 16th Street—a thoughtfully designed new residence in the heart of Point Breeze, offering the benefit of Philadelphia’s new 10-Year Tax Abatement alongside timeless architecture and modern city living. Defined by its warm brick facade, natural textures, and refined architectural presence, the home offers a distinctive take on contemporary Philadelphia living. Every element was carefully considered to create a residence that feels grounded, enduring, and connected to its surroundings. Inside, expansive open-plan living spaces are filled with natural light and flow seamlessly from the living and dining areas to a chef-inspired kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Generous ceiling heights, clean architectural lines, and carefully selected finishes create a sense of warmth and simplicity throughout. Offering four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a private rooftop retreat with skyline views, the home balances thoughtful design with practical everyday living. Above it all, the full-floor primary suite provides a quiet escape and a sense of privacy rarely found in city homes. Positioned on one of Point Breeze’s most desirable corridors, just moments from Center City, neighborhood cafés, parks, and local restaurants, 1217 S. 16th Street represents a rare opportunity to own a home where architecture, craftsmanship, and long-term livability were prioritized from the very beginning. Complete with Philadelphia’s new 10-Year Tax Abatement, and a 1 year builders warranty this home will not last long. Photos are architectural renderings for illustrative purposes only.
