Set back from the street, the home welcomes you with a charming front porch featuring a stunning, one-of-a-kind mosaic art piece set into the exterior as you enter — an immediate hint that this property is truly special. Inside, the sun-filled living and dining areas are rich with character, showcasing exposed brick, original beams, tiger wood bamboo flooring, sconce lighting, soaring ceilings, and a decorative fireplace that anchors the space beautifully. With windows throughout, natural light pours in from every angle.
The kitchen blends style and function with marble floors, honed granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a window overlooking the private backyard. Outside, enjoy a spacious patio and garden area perfect for grilling, entertaining, or creating a dedicated dog run — all complemented by the oversized driveway and gated storage.
Upstairs, original Douglas Fir floors run throughout the second level. The bright front bedroom features exposed brick details, while the rear bedroom — currently used as an office/ craft room — offers French doors, skyline views, and incredible natural light. A full bath and a convenient second-floor laundry area complete this level.
The third-floor primary suite is a true retreat, showcasing exposed beams and brick, abundant light, a spacious en-suite bath with jetted tub and separate shower, along with French doors leading to a Trex deck with breathtaking Center City skyline views.
The fully finished lower level offers exceptional additional living space, including a full bedroom/flex room, custom storage, recessed lighting, and a beautifully finished third bath. As you enter the basement, a second custom mosaic adds another artistic touch, reinforcing the unique character woven throughout the home. With a French drain, vapor barrier, and spray foam insulation, this level feels comfortable and fully integrated.
A rare blend of architectural charm, artistic detail, thoughtful updates, outdoor space, parking, and skyline views — all in one of Philadelphia’s most vibrant neighborhoods! The best of all worlds - in the city but never have to struggle for parking or privacy.
