About This Home

This newly renovated historic Philadelphia row home in excellent location offers a well-thought out living experience with artistic touches. Highlights include a dramatic light-filled home office, roof deck, luxury kitchen, outdoor dining space, spacious living room/library, and comfortable primary bedroom/bathroom suite with radiant floor heating and soaking tub. Throughout the house original details like brick walls and wood floors mix with newer architectural features of curved walls, a light-well connecting the three floors, and custom built-in furniture in each room. The front door enters into the first floor open seating area (including a stereo and even an upright piano), then flows into a cozy dining room with breakfast bar that overlooks a large high-end kitchen including a Blue Star 6-burner gas range, reverse osmosis water purifier, Vitamix blender and radiant floor heating. A large glass door connects the space to a covered outdoor seating and dining area. Designed for someone who loves to cook, and perfect for entertaining indoors or out. At the top of the stairs the second floor starts a spacious living room/library area with vintage stereo system and record player. A door leads to a home office with high ceilings, white brick walls, a light-well and large plants, and also connects to a half bathroom and an extremely quiet extra bedroom with double/full bed. Back in the library/living room, a classic Philadelphia spiral staircase brings you up to the third floor to a hallway connecting a small double/full bedroom/bathroom suite with morning sunlight, another double/full bedroom and the large primary bedroom/bathroom suite that includes laundry, a large bathroom with walk-in shower and large soaking tub as well as radiant floor heating. The primary bedroom features a king bed, a large closet with an extra sink and custom wood finishes and skylight/lightwell enclosure. The peaceful bedroom is drenched with light from the skylight and many large windows (unless you decide to pull the room darkening shades), and opens out onto the private roof top deck with many plants, trees and views of the city. WiFi mesh routers cover the house with high-speed internet access. Mini-split A/C + heat units in most rooms, as well as radiators and radiant floor heating, provide comfort that can be adjusted in each room. Additional storage space is available in the basement den. Separate outdoor gate allows access to the secure alley where bicycles can be stored. Google chromecast can sync music (Spotify) to multiple stereos in the house.
