Property Description
But there is so much more to appreciate about this home and community. Built circa 1910, this home is part of Philadelphia's Register of Historic Places. The tranquility and diversity of the streetscape burst with trees and vegetation, making the approach pleasant. Colorful flowers emit delightful fragrances as we make our way up the steps to the wide porch. Imagine jovial conversations under the outdoor ceiling fan as condensation collects on our glasses.
Step inside to be greeted by milled wood custom trim and molding throughout the home. The first level is bright, spacious, and open, with a line of sight and light from the front to the rear. Experience the grandeur of the turn-of-the-century style communicated through the coronated frieze of dentil molding trimming the ceilings. The use of bays with an abundance of windows, also customary to the period, extends and invites light on each level throughout the space. Charming features such as a gas fireplace and built-in original bench seats with storage complement the living area, while the original coffered ceiling is striking and beautiful.
Recently remodeled, the kitchen is introduced with a natural stone countertop, perfect for sliding up a stool and conversing while cooking. Storage space is generous with soft-close cupboards, drawers, and a pantry. Gas cooking is provided with a Viking range, and the layout is well-designed for food preparation. The glass-paneled door connects the inside to the outside, which boasts a large raised wooden deck perfect for entertaining. The remainder of the yard is landscaped with custom pavers and equipped with a perimeter of decorative planting space for those with a green thumb.
Upstairs, the second level hosts three bedrooms and a bathroom. The front room, traditionally used as a parlor, features a gorgeous green-tiled decorative mantle as a centerpiece. The bath is modern and tasteful, and the theme of welcoming exterior light is evident from the transom window above the vanity. Each room is well-apportioned and comfortably sized with good closet space.
The third level has a primary bedroom with an ensuite and an additional bedroom, a full bathroom, and a dedicated laundry center. Entering the ensuite, we are greeted by stunning twelve-foot ceilings with three large south-facing windows interlaced with two contemporary wall sconces. A walk-in closet precedes the spa-like bath area, which features a jetted soaking tub, heated radiant flooring, partner sinks, and a standalone shower with a glass enclosure.
The home's basement level is finished with a half bathroom. There is also unfinished space for storage and utilities. The electric systems are upgraded with 200 amps, there is a sump pump, an on-demand gas hot water tank, and one of the two Carrier HVAC systems. There is also an exit to the rear yard from the basement level.
This fantastic home is within an active and engaged community. Close to Penn, CHOP, Center City, and stores along Baltimore Avenue, this location is a walker’s paradise and a biker’s dream.
