This week’s selection is a renovated rowhouse in Center Square. Built in 1870, the rowhouse was one of the homes spared during a brief, fortunately discarded plan to bring a highway to the edge of Washington Park.

The three-story home has been largely renovated. The highlight of the upgrades is a sleek new kitchen that makes use of exposed brick and a tin ceiling. The house has five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. The basement has a bedroom and full bathroom and private entry. Crown mouldings from the original construction and marble fireplaces (the one in the living room has a gas insert) give the place character while the 8-foot sliding glass door to the deck and garden is a nice modern convenience. A private parking space in the back is available for $140 per month. The owners also have access to the roof. Total footage is 3,412. The rowhouse is near the intersection of Swan Street, next to the Empire Plaza.
