Property Description
Charming and spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home with large patio in Passyunk Square, one of Philadelphia's most sought-after neighborhoods! With its handsome brick façade, warm-toned wood front door, and beautiful stained glass transom with rose detail, you know you're in for something special when you walk up to this home. Enter through the vestibule to be greeted by a sunny, open concept, hardwood floors with a lovely inlay and tall ceilings. The living room, spacious yet cozy, is the perfect space to host friends for a game or for quiet, night in watching a movie. Continue to the dining area which can easily accommodate 6-8 people for your next family holiday gathering. The well-maintained eat-in kitchen boasts ample shaker cabinetry and counterspace, stainless steel appliances, and multiple windows, one overlooking your large back patio. You'll love the outdoor space for dining under stars or sipping on cocktails with friends. A convenient half bath completes this floor. Once upstairs, you will find 3 bedrooms, two with closets, and a shared hall bath with tub. The oversized top floor primary suite will wow you with its cathedral ceilings and exposed brick. Large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed plus two nightstands and a lounge area with wet bar, this primary also boasts decent closet space. The en-suite bathroom features a stall shower, single vanity, and a window. Off the primary suite is a new roof deck which will quickly become your favorite spot to unwind whether enjoying a cup of coffee or doing outdoor yoga. The unfinished basement is ideal for storage and houses the washer and dryer. This home's location is prime - just a few blocks off Passyunk Avenue, allowing you to enjoy the many restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and retail along the corridor without the noise. Around the corner from Gold Star Park and in close proximity to Capitolo and Sacks playgrounds plus Jefferson Square. You'll love the convenience of having Acme and the Italian Market so close to home for all of your grocery needs. This lovingly maintained home was just painted, has recently upgraded HVAC, a new roof and is just waiting for its next owners!
