Shirley St

Shirley St is a custom single family home that redefines urban living through its innovative upside-down layout and connection to nature.

Encompassing 2,300 square feet, this modern residence features 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across a thoughtfully organized floor plan that places the main living spaces on the upper level. This design not only captures abundant natural light but also frames serene park views, creating a calm retreat within the vibrant Fairmount neighborhood.

A Four Seasons Room with a private balcony extends the living experience throughout the year, while an expansive roof deck provides sweeping views and a perfect setting for gatherings or quiet reflection. Designed with a focus on spatial efficiency, craftsmanship, and comfort, this home offers a rare balance of privacy and openness—an urban sanctuary at the edge of one of Philadelphia’s most beloved parks.
Bringing contemporary architecture and traditional elements together, Twin Gables was envisioned to balance suburban charm with refined modern details creating spaces that feel warm, functional, and connected to the surrounding architecture. 🌿
A recessed entry creates a clear transitional threshold between the public and private realms, elevating both privacy and curb appeal. The sheltered stoop grounds the facade, offering a warm, modern arrival sequence layered with texture, depth, and street-level livability.🌿
