Description
Experience a unique opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia’s architectural heritage at 307 S. Chadwick Street. This historically designated home, reimagined by architect Frank Weise between 1954 and 2003, exemplifies mid-century modern and postmodern design. Upon his death, the building was completely restored, updated and maintained by his heirs. Originally a 19th-century carriage house, Weise transformed the structure with a tripartite facade. The central brick section, inspired by Louis Kahn, showcases rationalist elements, while the prominent batten-seam, terne-metal mansard (replaced in copper in 2005) introduces a bold postmodern touch. A deeply projecting metal cornice adds a distinctive flair, and even functional features, like the furniture hoisting boom, are thoughtfully incorporated. Configured as a duplex, the property features Frank Weise’s studio/offices on the lower levels, while the upper floors, accessible via a private entrance, comprise the main residence. In total, the property offers three bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms, providing versatile living spaces. A one-car carport adds convenience in this central location. Situated on the quaint Chadwick Street, once lined with carriage houses, the home provides a peaceful urban retreat with easy access to Rittenhouse Square’s amenities. This residence is more than just a home; it’s a living piece of art reflecting Philadelphia’s rich architectural evolution. Seize the chance to own a landmark property that harmoniously blends historical charm with modernist innovation. For inquiries and to schedule a private viewing, please contact us today.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
