Property Description
Welcome to 917 Catharine Street, a rare and beautifully renovated Bella Vista residence completed in 2022, offering a level of finish and thoughtful design throughout. The sun-filled first floor showcases original inlay hardwood floors and an open living and dining layout that feels warm, open, and effortless. The kitchen is a true focal point, featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, classic white tile backsplash, open shelving, brass hardware, a drawer-style microwave, and a built-in coffee nook. Just beyond, a spacious private patio provides an ideal setting for morning coffee or outdoor dining, with the added convenience of a breezeway offering secondary access and everyday functionality. The second level offers two spacious bedrooms and a serene hall bathroom with a marble-topped vanity, a deep soaking tub with a tub/shower combo, crisp white subway tile, and a window that fills the space with natural light. The middle bedroom includes a thoughtfully added den-style flex space, perfect for a home office or workout area, while the south-facing front bedroom is bright and airy with generous closet space. The entire third floor is dedicated to a stunning primary suite featuring a sun-drenched south-facing bedroom, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with a seamless glass shower, brass fixtures, and a custom dual-sink vanity. A fully finished basement adds even more versatility with side-by-side laundry and space for a home gym, playroom, or additional storage. Beyond its beautiful finishes, the home offers peace of mind with major system upgrades, including a brand-new HVAC system with Google Nest thermostats, a new hot water heater, all-new plumbing fixtures, and a fully updated electrical system with smart switches. All windows throughout the home were replaced, and exterior improvements include a refreshed front facade, repointed and painted brickwork, and back exterior stairs and patio tile, making this a truly move-in-ready offering. Set in one of Bella Vista's most sought-after locations, this home places you just steps from Philadelphia favorites, including Bart's Bagels, Pop's Bun Shop, Mawn, Sarcone's, Ralph's, Angelo's, Isgro's, Fiorella, Alice, and the Italian Market, with Whole Foods only a short walk away.
