About 624 S Saint Asaph St
Thoughtfully reimagined, this circa 1875 semi-detached townhouse offers a gracious balance of rooms for entertaining, comfortable everyday living, a private outdoor retreat, and one off-street parking space. The home benefited from Polly Hulfish’s preservation efforts in the 1950s and has been meticulously updated and maintained over the years.
The spacious living room features parquet flooring, crown molding, plantation shutters, and a gas fireplace with a marble surround and ventless gas logs. The formal dining room continues the home’s refined aesthetic with parquet flooring and crown molding, while a striking chandelier creates a warm, inviting setting for gatherings. A conveniently located powder room is finished with herringbone marble tile.
An elegant archway leads to the sun-filled breakfast room, where three skylights with new shades, built-in cabinetry, and abundant storage create a bright, functional space. Enjoy preparing meals in the adjoining kitchen with cherry cabinetry, brick flooring, and Miele appliances. Relaxation is effortless in the first-floor family room adjacent to the kitchen, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and a wall of custom bookshelves perfect for displaying your favorite treasures.
A graceful double staircase with volutes, rake balusters, and a wool runner leads to the upper level. Handsome matching bell jar light fixtures accent the staircase at both the top and bottom. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with hardwood floors, plantation shutters, and a new Daikin mini-split system. The en-suite bath includes a seamless glass shower, skylight, and additional storage. Two generously sized guest bedrooms, one with a custom built-in desk, share a Jack-and-Jill bath with a skylight.
A delightful surprise, the unique rooftop deck offers a private escape above the Old Town rooftops. Enjoy sunset views, relax in comfort, or unwind with a good book while taking in the peaceful surroundings.
Savor the outdoors or dine al fresco on the beautifully landscaped patio, graced by a pergola adorned with climbing wisteria, four irrigated planters, and lush greenery. A new brick wall and gate provide access to the off-street parking space for one small car. Situated on one of Old Town’s most sought-after streets, this thoughtfully reimagined residence is just moments from charming shops, exceptional restaurants, gourmet food stores, the river, and the Mount Vernon Trail.
