Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Metro Area Top 5 Home Sales: Society Hill Condominium Sells for $4.25 Million

A Society Hill condominium at The Dilworth House sold for $4.25 million, the highest of five reported home sales in the Philadelphia metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Metro Area Top 5 Home Sales: Society Hill Condominium Sells for $4.25 Million

The four-bedroom Residence 302 sits in a 2023 building of just eight homes facing Washington Square. It changed hands on September 14, 2026, one of five closings reported across the Philadelphia metro area for the week ending September 20 that together came to $14.13 million.

The other four were detached suburban houses, each from a different era: a 1937 Tudor on an acre in Bryn Mawr, a 1989 estate in Solebury, a 2003 house in Doylestown Borough designed in 19th-century Victorian style, and a Pipersville contemporary finished this year. Compass RE held the listing side on two of this week’s five reported sales.

Top home sale No. 1 in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania metro area β€” 223 S 6th St #302, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, week ending September 20, 2026

The Dilworth House, completed in 2023 on Washington Square, holds only eight residences, and No. 302 is a four-bedroom home with a large private terrace overlooking Society Hill. It sold for $4,250,000 on September 14, 2026, closing $110,000 above its final asking price of $4,140,000. The building takes its name from Richardson Dilworth, the Philadelphia mayor who helped lead Society Hill’s revitalization, and its Colonial Revival design echoes his 1957 mansion, which listing materials credit to the architect G. Edwin Brumbaugh.

Astoban Investments developed the project and CBP Architects, the firm founded by Cecil Baker, designed the residences. No. 302 carries a reported 3,260 square feet, with high ceilings and tall windows through the main rooms and living and dining areas that open onto the terrace for park and city views. The kitchen, by The Cut and made in Italy, has imported cabinetry and a Gaggenau suite that includes double ovens and a built-in espresso system. The primary suite adds a custom dressing area and a marble bath with radiant-heated floors, a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed steam shower, and three further ensuite bedrooms carry Italian-imported finishes.

The building stands behind a gated, landscaped entry and was built in reinforced concrete with added soundproofing and smart-home integration. Residents have a full-time doorman, a Technogym-equipped fitness studio, private storage and an automated parking system that retrieves a car at the touch of a button; each residence includes one garage space. A 10-year tax abatement applies. The address is a short walk from Old City’s cultural venues and from restaurants including Talula’s Garden, Zahav and Morimoto.

Reid Rosenthal of BHHS Fox & Roach At the Harper, Rittenhouse Square was the listing agent. The transaction ranked No. 1 in RealtyWire’s Philadelphia Metro Area Top 5 for the week and closed above its final asking price. Eli Qarkaxhia of Compass RE represented the buyer.
