Recreationally, there are groomed athletic fields, a toddler’s play area, and a secure dog walking area that is a central spot for catching up with this thriving community's neighbors. Originally built in 2011 this expansive 20’ wide townhouse is unlike any other you’ll find in this coveted neighborhood.
The handsome brick facade with a covered entryway gives way to a voluminous open floor plan, featuring large park-facing living room windows, rich hardwood floors, a spacious dining area with an elegant chandelier, and an incomparable cook’s kitchen that is an entertainer’s dream! A large center island with butcher block countertops and under-counter wine refrigerator is the social center of the room while being flanked by two walls of handsome cabinetry, with complimenting granite countertops, strategic lighting, stainless steel appliances featuring a gas cooktop with range hood, in-cabinet conventional and microwave ovens, quiet dishwasher, deep prep sink, and generous refrigerator. Opposite the centerpiece island is a beautiful wet bar with upper glass door cabinets, ideal for showing off your craft cocktail skills! A sliding glass door leads out to a large, private rear patio with elevated built-in planting beds. A convenient coat closet and staircase leading to the lower au-pair apartment featuring a separate kitchen, bath, and laundry area and separate egress leading out to Reed Street complete notable features on this level.
The main staircase adorned with solid wood treads and modern railings leads up to the second-floor elegant sitting area, a hall bath with “Jack and Jill" feature that doubles as a powder room and is also connected to a bedroom suite, presently decorated as a cozy media room with custom built-in Murphy bed and large closets. Off the central hall is a conveniently located laundry center with a top-line washer and dryer and mechanical closet. The front ensuite bedroom offers abundant closets, a sparkling private bathroom, and is light-filled with Columbus Park's wide views.
Modern railings continue up to the primary bedroom suite, where you’ll be in awe of the sheer volume of space afforded by tall ceilings, wide floorplan, enormous walk-in closet, and spa bath featuring a walk-in shower with river stone floor, rainfall showerhead, dual separate sinks, therapeutic spa tub. A raised south-facing window offers brilliant sunlight while providing for desired privacy. At the front of the main bedroom are a roomy sitting area, wet bar, and wall of windows that leads to a fabulous roof deck overlooking the splendor of Columbus Park and the city skyline beyond.
Abundant two-sided street parking along Reed Street and South 13th Streets provides plenty of parking for the area. Take in a play at Theatre Exile’s newly designed performance studio, and then enjoy a stroll to East Passyunk Avenue that will have you eating at some of the best eateries in all of Philadelphia, including Laurel, Noord, and Fond, just to name a few, and you can work it off the next day City Fitness at 12th and Wharton Streets. A short walk to the BSL makes both the stadium district and Center City just a quick couple of train stops away.
