742 S Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146

Property Description

YES, there is peace and privacy on Broad St, soon to be experienced as the Champs-Élysées of Philadelphia at the completion of the $150 million green space beautification currently underway. Set along the iconic Avenue of the Arts in Philadelphia’s Graduate Hospital neighborhood, the ten home collection at Lydian Place are a rare blend of elegance, modernity, and intelligent urban design. Designed by regarded Asher, Staugnwhite + Partners, the home spans over 4,000 square feet across six expansive levels connected by a private six-stop elevator, including direct access from inside the garage to easily move groceries from the car to the kitchen with the push of a button, and offers both refined living and long-term value in one of the city's most dynamic corridors. The residence welcomes with soaring ceilings, rich natural light, and a clean, modern aesthetic that allows every detail to speak. The second floor main level flows seamlessly from a generous living area anchored by a sleek gas fireplace to a dining space and custom kitchen with exceptional appliances by Bosch, Wolf and Sub-Zero—crafted for the way we entertain now, with form and function perfectly in balance. A full-floor primary suite provides a true sanctuary, complete with two walk-in owners’ closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities, walk-in shower, water closet, and calming finishes throughout. Additional bedrooms are thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy, offering ideal accommodations for family or guests. The fully finished basement level offers remarkable versatility. It can be outfitted as a private guest suite with a bedroom, full bath, and living area—or reimagined as a wellness floor with space for a home gym, yoga studio, and separate bath. The possibilities are as limitless as the layout is functional. Atop it all, a generous pilot house leads to two expansive roof decks with sweeping views of the Philadelphia skyline—an extraordinary outdoor living experience in the heart of the city. What makes this home especially compelling is its unique position as both a lifestyle and investment opportunity. With approximately six years remaining on the property tax abatement, owners enjoy significant long-term savings, while the home’s size, design, and location make it extremely attractive to discerning renters—should one ever wish to lease it. Located in one of Philadelphia’s most walkable and transit-accessible areas, the property boasts a Walk Score of 97 and a Rider's Score of 99. World-class dining, theater, museums, parks, boutiques, and the cultural heartbeat of the city are just steps away. More than a home, this is a lifestyle offering for the design-conscious, arts-loving city dweller who wants to live with intention—someone who values both the pleasures of home and the vibrancy of urban life just beyond their door. Whether as a primary residence or a long-term investment in one of Philadelphia’s most desirable neighborhoods, this property delivers exceptional value, architectural distinction, and a way of living that’s anything but ordinary. Additional long term parking available at several nearby garages; street parking is always easy to find!
