For your viewing pleasure is this beautifully restored townhome in Society Hill, circa 1794, listed at $1.795M. Not only filled with modern conveniences, it also carries a particularly historic and heroic significance.
This 4,118 s.f. home, on a lot of 1,900 s.f., has five bedrooms, three full baths, two half baths, and seven fireplaces--one of which is a Franklin Stove.
Why is this property an important part of history? Because, according to the listing, it has a (now sealed off) entrance to an Underground Railroad tunnel in the basement. So in theory, it helped to build the network shown here.

For the power travelers who prefer to go it on two feet, the location has a Walkscore of 98.
It's been on the market for 52 days, so it's worth a walk around the neighborhood.
Spoiler alert: this home was previously listed at $1.945M by January 2013. After the pricechop, the time-on-market-clock started again. Maybe 2014 is the charm?
