The redone Philadelphia<\/a> property at 1514 Waverly St.<\/a> hasn\u2019t always been a luxury home. In fact, the four-bedroom townhouse was originally built in 1880 as three separate carriage houses on what was then one of the city\u2019s backstreets.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until 2010 when the firm Metcalfe Architecture & Design was hired by a local artist to turn the space into the modern-industrial live-work setup that it is today.<\/p>\n

And now, the renovated residence has come on the market for $2.5 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe home was thoughtfully renovated from three carriage houses into a light-filled art studio and personal residence,\u201d says listing agent Fred Manfred<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cThe design collaboration carefully balanced original details with modern upgrades.\u201d<\/p>\n

The remodel was such a success that it was featured on the HGTV show \u201cYou Live in What?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

Melding of old and new<\/h2>\n

The exterior retains much of its original carriage-house charm, while the interior features light-filled rooms with original wood floors, vaulted ceilings, and exposed beams. Incredible details include exposed brick walls and original skylights.<\/p>\n

The 4,300-square-foot home has a pergola-topped roof deck, reachable by the stairs or elevator.<\/p>\n

Some historic details had to change, including the horse stall that was converted into a one-car garage, while some aesthetic touches were added back in.<\/p>\n

\u201cDetails like the stairwell paneling and patterned steel plates on the rooftop door, those intentional touches combined with the preservation and integration of original character makes the home feel like a work of art,\u201d Manfred says.<\/p>\n

The home is centrally located between Rittenhouse Square Park and Philadelphia\u2019s Avenue of the Arts, with a vibrant dining and entertainment scene nearby.<\/p>\n
