Philly Mag’s Design Home 2016 Returns to Center City

Sherry Litwer, Design Home Project Manager
Philadelphia Magazine (I have an online column and in the magazine column at PhillyMag) has been building homes in the greater Philadelphia area for 13 years. A showcase for high-end home building and decorating, the magazine has built multi-million-dollar homes in Delaware, New Jersey and many other locations around the greater Philadelphia area. Design Home® 2016 is a symbiosis of old and new. For the first time in 13 years, Design Home® returns to the City of Brotherly Love, located in an uber-luxurious townhouse development in Philadelphia’s historic Society Hill. Get your exclusive look at Philadelphia magazine’s 2016 Design Home® with 100% of the proceeds benefiting MANNA. Tours run from 11am-4pm. Closed Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. TICKETS HERE
