Laura and Peter purchased their home as a new build about a year ago. We visited them in nearby Lower Gwynedd to see how they have settled in. This sweet family is enjoying the space in their new home, the green gardens out back and all the town has to offer!
With a central location that is walkable in all directions, it is no wonder that Shana and Scott found a little slice of paradise among the streets of Rittenhouse. They invited us inside their home that was built in the 1800s, just in time for the magnolia tree to be in full bloom!
Just Listed! Eight years ago, 5 Loxley Court welcomed a growing family home. They fell in love with the courtyard and the original hardwood floors. Come take a visit with us to this historic home that has been updated with all the love and convenience of living in the heart of Old City in modern days.
Kathleen’s journey toward home ownership was a quick and spirited one. The Philly Home Girls were first introduced to Kathleen by her fabulous Mother, Dolores who found us online and knowingly decided a team of strong independent women were the right people to focus Kathleen’s home search....
I've always believed that one's home should rise to greet them when you walk through the door. It should be a place of peace, a sanctuary, a getaway, a secret lover of sorts.
As we publish this blog post, this home is on the market for $900,000 but only quietly until our friend Together by Michelle, and the family who owns the home, are finished discovering what will happen to the contents. When a property is listed “quietly” that means it won’t appear for sale on the 950+ websites that typically advertise real estate for sale. Until the end of July, this home will only be marketed by word of mouth.
The “Fitzwater Fixer” allowed Jenna and Dan to see just how well they worked together, and how much Philly needs this dynamite design team.
We have been upgrading Federal Street since day 1 to make it our own. It has been so satisfying to watch it evolve into something we find so beautiful and to make it work for our growing family.
The space, the beautiful construction, the neighborhood, the LIGHT! Lisa and Rizwan found their perfect match on E. Colona St. in one of the Light Houses built in 2013. After seven years, they are relocating to Chicago. And for the first time since they were built, there is an opportunity for new residences in one of the Light Houses.
When you enter Colette’s home, the light is like a dream. With a high ceiling, it naturally illuminates her work surfaces with a filtered light you can only describe as ambient.
It was love at first sight a few times. For sure when they met each other. The myth became a reality again when Marcus & LeShadae first laid eyes on the property that would become their home.
We were young, VERY YOUNG wanting to buy an investment property in this new neighborhood called Fishtown. There were only two bars at the time, Johnny Brenda’s and Memphis Tap Room and that was about it.
Helping Sarah find the house she’s called home for 12 years was instinctual because the moment we met, Sarah and I were instantly connected.
For Mike and Josie, finding a home was the first spark to ignite a series of events that lead to creating two businesses and a community of creative like minded people united by a singular taste for aesthetic. Sounds kind of esoteric right? Let me explain.
If you’re sharing air in the same room as Kelli and Jim, it is undeniable how fun, and creative these two are. A few conversations in and you’ll have a new vernacular that you’ll never forget. The dogs are called Neeps and they are almost as cute as their people.
We moved here before Passyunk Avenue was as hot as it is now, and it has been amazing to see it grow, to be part of that growth, and to enjoy it. We are going to miss it a lot and hope the new owners are as happy here as we have been.
Seven years ago, picking the house was the easy part for Becca and Stephen: fixer-upper, good bones, and exposed brick were the main items on the list. Making that house a forever home, however, took some time.
Per Kayla in her easy British accent chock full of slang, “We love our block cos it's the sweet spot! Easy parking with no neighbors opposite. Effortless dog walking at the track. Adelaide learned to scoot there too.”
Get to know Matt and Lurena. Their love of Philadelphia and mutual passion for US political history cultivated their lifestyle and inspired their family.
Love, whimsey, wonder, fun and doggos. These are all packed into Jennifer and Michaels house and tied up with a neat little bow of copper string lights.
Jess met Tim on a business trip to Alabama, where Tim grew up. When he left his home in the south to marry his sweetheart in Philly, he had no idea that he would also be marrying Old City.
A home contains everything we hold dear; our loved ones, our possessions, our personal expression, our memories and experiences. For Hope and Arthur, the time had come to fold an envelope to enclose all the new things they create together.
It isn’t very often we meet a seller who has owned a property for 25 blissful years, but when we do, we’re humbled and struck with awe. You can tell by the striking details, and the incredible new addition that they’ve made home improvement decisions with integrity.
Jamie, an expat from Denver and Kendall a native New Yorker have enjoyed growing their family at 869 N 24th Street. Unfortunately, relocating for work will take up the roots they just planted.
I was fortunate to be connected to Kimberley and Bill’s first real estate adventure. To be included on their next two journeys was an honor and a pleasure. They’re both such incredible people, devoting their lives helping others, and contributing to the general public’s health, safety and well being.
Annie has turned home ownership into an art. Her career as a food scientist has involved quite a few moves across the country....
South Philly will always hold a very special place in my heart. I lived in South Philly for fifteen years and my very first home was on the 2400 block of South Juniper Street. The day we moved in, the neighbors came out of the woodwork to welcome us...
How adorable are Ben and Megan? Cuter than a bug’s ear and twice as delightful! We had a lot of fun working together. When we started, the only decision that had been made was to upgrade locations...
CHRISSY Chrissy was probably the first person I worked with who successfully accomplished a property ladder. If not the first, definitely the youngest. AT THE AGE OF 25, she had purchased a home on her own, and earned enough equity to purchase a second, bigger better property.
Meet Caitlin and George, two DIY’ers that took on the renovation of this gorgeous home. The work is complete and memories have been made. They’re now lovingly passing it on to the next owners who will call it home.
