Property Description

1721 Wharton Street is an exceptional property at its price point. This is a great opportunity to own a 3BR/2.5BA home that also has a 1BR/1BA lower level suite with a separate entrance. Functionality, style, and character all merge to create a wonderful home with plenty of room to accommodate family and friends. This unusually large 17' wide x 95' deep lot allows the home to be set back from the sidewalk, creating a green screen between the home and street. Adjacent to the front door is an exterior stairwell down to the lower level. Entering the front door, you will land in an enclosed and weatherized porch, which is a great place for strollers, bikes, plants, or lounge chairs. French doors open to the wide living room featuring high ceilings, beautiful original floors, and an original arch that defines the space. The living area flows into the large dining space that is adjacent to the original pine stairs with decorative iron railings. There is plenty of room for large dinner parties and gatherings. Between the dining area and kitchen is a convenient half bath, perfectly placed for guests and children, and an interior stairway to the lower level suite, which features a bedroom with an ensuite bath and kitchenette, a multi-use space, plus a laundry room and storage. Back upstairs, the long well well-equipped kitchen lends itself well to multiple cooks. Dark wood lower cabinets are topped with quartz and highlighted by the beautiful tile backsplash with stylish open wood shelving above. There is room enough for a small island or table for casual meals and snacks. Beyond the kitchen is a large patio with plenty of room for grilling, al fresco dining, and play. Upstairs, you will find a spacious, south-facing primary suite with a spa-like bathroom offering a large frameless glass and tiled shower, a free-standing tub, and a double vanity. Down the hall, you will find two more well-proportioned bedrooms and a pleasant and very functional hall bath. You will not find more space with style and character in the neighborhood at this price. From here, it is just a 15-minute walk to East Passyunk Avenue, and just 20 minutes to Rittenhouse Square. The neighborhood has many amenities of its own, including The American Sardine Bar, Batter and Crumbs Bakery, and Center City Breathe. Don't wait, at this price, this opportunity will not last.
