108 Elfreths Aly Townhouse

A rare opportunity! If you’re looking for a new concept in housing, there’s nothing like Elfreth’s Alley—America’s oldest and most historic street. It is the oldest continuously-inhabited residential street in the United States, with a history dating back to 1703. Here is a magnificently preserved streetscape that offers a glimpse into colonial American life with its 18th and 19th century rowhouses, cobblestone streets, and original brickwork. Today it serves as both a residential community and a historic site complete with a museum and its own association dedicated to its preservation. People have lived on this street for over 300 years, making it a unique time capsule. Many of the street’s buildings date from 1720 to 1836, and have been carefully restored to maintain the historic appearance. The Alley is still a thriving residential community, which is home to artists, educators, and entrepreneurs. And now it is possible to live on the Alley in this rarely available home! A beautifully restored gem from 1706, this is one of the first houses built on the Alley. It features a contemporary kitchen and original wood floors made from tall sailing ships. There is a backyard big enough to enjoy where you can throw a party for friends who come to help you celebrate your good fortune!
