About this property

Rittenhouse Mansion -City Centre Rittenhouse Mansion - 8BR / roof deck

Mansion In Rittenhouse Square. 8 Bedrooms (7 Queen. 1 King. ). 2 Kitchens.

This home is a stunner! Built in 1845, and at almost 8,000 sq ft you will go back in time and do it in style. You’ll also enjoy easy access to the best of Philadelphia from this centrally located mansion with Rittenhouse Square two blocks away.

Many of the properties original 19th Century details are on display from the moment you enter. The Grand Parlour, located just inside the front door, is one of the largest private rooms in the city and contains a secondary Formal Dining area, Pool Table and Double Lounge.

The house contains two full kitchens - to be certain you can feed your entire group - without walking up or down more than one floor.

You will absolutely love the roof deck and sunbathing area in the warmer months. The city vista views are literally only available from this location - positioned above every other in this historic part of Philadelphia. All year round, 1822 Pine is within walking distance of the best shops, restaurants, and museums in the city.

Features 8 bedrooms (8 beds) across five suites. The house sleeps up to 16 people in its current configuration, leaving multiple living rooms and works spaces for enjoying time with your guests! Just as you would expect in such a grand home. A further 5 bathrooms are placed in each suite. Please note, that the primary dining room table can only seat 12 for dinner service. Additional tables can be made available for a larger seating of 16 but require management prior arrangements.

The second-floor suites each have one bedroom and a living room: The Master - Emily Drexel Suite (2nd floor rear) and The Library Suite (2nd Floor Front). The Library Suite is the largest in the house and would originally have made up the ladies sitting room and house library. This suite includes room for living and working; and further includes a wet bar for entertaining and a 70Inch 4K TV. Our guests often choose to leave this suite vacant so that it can be enjoyed by all.

The third floor front of the house contains the Mansion Suite with two bedrooms and a bath (likely also the original master bedroom apartments). The 3rd floor rear contains the second kitchen and entertainment lounge + rear terrace (no bedrooms).

The fourth floor has two more suites front and rear: The Pine Street Suite and Waverley Street Suite (named after the streets they look out upon) - each have two bedrooms and a bathroom (total of 4 bedrooms).

The ample number of living spaces and private suites make this Rittenhouse Mansion a unique experience and a perfect fit for a family gathering in Philadelphia and a great event space for Companies, Universities, and Wedding Parties.

We have a FIRM NO PARTY POLICY. There are noise and crowd sensors that will sound in the house and also alert management if they detect sustained levels above 79 Decibels. Repeated breaches of the sound levels or unnamed guests on the premises will RESULT IN FULL FORFEITURE OF THE SECURITY DEPOSIT and potentially result in IMMEDIATE EVICTION of the property should the police be called. We expect you to enjoy your time at 1822 Pine, but do so respecting the home and its neighborhood. The house is a piece of history and needs to be treated as such. Thank you :)

For those who are interested in hosting dinner parties of 16 or less at the property, please reach out separately for advice or support with making arrangements. We have catering and event organizers that are familiar with the property and can assist in making special occasions - special.

All guests assume the risk of injury or loss to person or property in conjunction with the use of the roof deck.

The house has a team of support personnel to handle guest inquires, urgent maintenance, and whatever other support your party might require.

5 Star Experience @ Rittenhouse Square
Had an amazing stay at this truly special, comfortable and unique property. We were a group of 14. The mansion had lots of room for everyone to have their own space along with space to spend time together. The kitchen was fully equipped, which allowed us to cook breakfast each day along with a multi-course dinner one evening. The location couldn't be better. We could walk to everything!! The street is very quiet and private, yet close enough to all of the Philly action. Highly Recommend!

Great house in a great location
Our family rented this house for a local wedding. There are a lot of stairs but that keeps the bedroom suites private and quiet! Very well setup and easy communication with the owner. Lovely kitchen with a great dining room for family dinner. The rooftop is amazing in the evening! Loved it!

Unique historic property for large groups
We've rented a number of houses in downtown Philadelphia for our family get-togethers. This property is unique in a number of ways: - Large number of bedrooms and bathrooms: we fit 7 couples with 3 kids pretty comfortably; there is enough space where everyone can get their privacy. - Big living room: few properties like this have such a large shared room - Fantastic location (near Rittenhouse Square) and very historic home. It was also very quiet. It's not cheap- but well worth it if you are large group and want to stay together in a great part of Philadelphia.

This was a great house to have everyone in one place for the weekend. The house is in great shape for being 150 yrs old. Some bedrooms don’t have a closet for hanging clothes but most are larg

What makes this property unique

How many people get to live life like it was in the 1850's? Imagine staff quarters and your entire extended family living in this building. As many as 30 people may have lived and worked in this building at its peak. It would have been a busy place! The house is divided into 5 separate "suites" or living areas where each branch of an extended family could be comfortable in their own apartments while sharing the common areas. Of course, it won't be so crowded for your stay! You'll have over 8K square feet to yourself! Enjoy the high ceilings and the historical detail while you are a guest at 1822 Pine - and absolutely take advantage of all that this location has to offer in the great city of Philadelphia!
