The defining feature of Port Royal Reserve is the lifestyle it provides. It offers a genuine natural environment while remaining inside Philadelphia’s borders. Achieving that equilibrium is exceptionally uncommon.”— Michala CostelloPHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, October 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Port Royal Reserve introduces six newly constructed residences from award-winning Harth Builders, situated at 383-393 Port Royal Avenue within one of Philadelphia's most distinctive and tranquil neighborhoods. The location is enveloped by natural scenery while remaining within city boundaries, delivering a peaceful escape from downtown’s activity — only a short drive from Manayunk's Main Street, the Wissahickon trail network, and Chestnut Hill, with convenient access to Center City. The development caters to individuals seeking meaningful connections, both with the outdoors and with their neighbors.
"What makes Port Royal Reserve so special is the lifestyle it offers. It is a true nature setting, yet still within the city of Philadelphia. That kind of balance is incredibly rare to find." stated Michala Costello.
Purchasers have the option of a ready-to-occupy model, tailoring selected features, or constructing their ideal residence from scratch. Every home is individually crafted with premium finishes and rigorous craftsmanship, positioned on expansive parcels of up to 3 acres for the two largest lots. The showcase home, covering 4,400 square feet, features a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath layout that blends timeless colonial-inspired exteriors with contemporary interiors, listed around $2.6 million. The main floor features a gourmet kitchen with a 10-foot island and walk-in pantry, complemented by roomy bedrooms with walk-in closets, a primary suite with a spa-inspired bathroom, and a completed lower level. Outdoor living is integral to the concept, featuring covered front and rear porches, a covered cabana for gatherings, and a separate three-car garage.
