  • Real Estate

If walls could talk, imagine the stories they would tell. You’ve likely heard that saying before, but when it comes to the historic estate at 999 N 6th St. in Philadelphia, it rings true. 

Built in 1885 and originally serving as a private hospital founded by Dr. Isidor P. Strittmatter in 1887, this home is a testament to a very rich history.

Strittmatter, a specialist in gynecology and surgery, was deeply involved with many professional organizations throughout his lifetime, including the American Medical Association, the Pennsylvania State Association, and several Philadelphia-based medical societies, where he even served as president of the Philadelphia County Medical Society.

Priced at $1,690,000, the Main House beautifully preserves its historical features while incorporating modern updates. As you step through the double doors, you'll find yourself in a vestibule that leads to a grand foyer. It’s no surprise the first things that may catch your eye include highlights like the 12-foot ceilings, grand staircase, and Luictrusta walls with crown molding.

Just off the foyer, the living room connects to the Cupola Room, which boasts heated floors, a restored stained glass skylight, a wet bar, and French doors opening to a secluded garden. This space is perfect for relaxing among the flowers or playing a game of bocce.

The estate also includes a private office, a formal dining room with an original mantelpiece and fireplace, a chef’s kitchen with modern appliances, a wine cellar, and a library for all your favorite books. With six bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus additional rooms with potential for more, this home offers plenty of space for potential buyers.

A stroll through the garden leads to the Carriage House—currently leased but ideal as a guest house with two bedrooms and parking for three vehicles.

All-in-all, this property is not just a home, but a legacy—a rare opportunity to live amidst history while enjoying modern luxury.
