Even though a house right on Rittenhouse is far more desirable, the property this house is on is huge, it has a front yard (who has one of those in Philly?) a giant courtyard in the back and that enormous garage. It's probably 5 times the size of the rittenhouse lot conservatively. I think you could absolutely put a tower there.
And as unique as the home is, it's kind of a gaudy waste of space. Wouldn't mind at all if it was torn down. Not at all historic either.

Yeah, the outdoor space is amazing. Even so, I just don't think a house of this size in Philly is likely to sell for near $12MM. It's not impossible, but a true unicorn buyer would have to come along. Bring on the tower here instead!
