Among a sea of rowhomes and cookie-cutter new builds, this corner property full of custom updates is a real standout. High ceilings, original oak floors, stylish light fixtures, two exposures from 17 (yes, you read that right!) windows and wood accents come together for an overall organic, midcentury vibe. The side entrance means you get a vestibule and large coat closet that don't cut into the living room's footprint, and a layout that deviates from the typical shotgun-style, front-to-back row. The vestibule with a sweet transom sits between the good-sized living room with built-in storage and the equally spacious dining room, which is joined to the kitchen by a custom wood breakfast bar. The restaurant-inspired renovation offers an uber-functional galley layout with butcher block counters topping white flat-front cabinets. The open shelving and custom spice rack nicely complement the exposed brick wall with knife strip and pot hooks. Upstairs, at one end of the bright and breezy hallway you've got the primary suite with three large windows and dual-entry bath. This stylish space is finished with large-format veined porcelain tile flooring, a step-in dual rainhead shower with glass doors and subway tile surround, a floating vanity with drawers and handsome mirror with built-in shelf, and separate linen and double-width wardrobe closets. At the other end, you've got another good-sized bedroom, also with three windows, that shares the second full bath with the middle bedroom. This vintage-perfection bath has an ultra-rare Deco tub complete with bench seat, peachy-pink square wall tile in pristine condition, and inset chrome niches beneath the original medicine cabinet. For outdoor space, there's a large private patio with a sweet planting strip along the fence, and the gate to the side street means there's no need to bring bikes or trash through the house. The freshly parged and painted basement has good ceiling height and access to Bilco doors, making it a great workshop/maker space. And as a bonus, in addition to laundry there's also a fully functional half bath. The Brewerytown location boasts the great combination of being super close to the Girard Ave corridor for the full city-living experience, as well as the escape-to-nature access of Kelly Drive.
