With 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths, and an estimated 4,340 sq ft of living space, this home offers an exceptional combination of original craftsmanship and modern upgrades. A dramatic curved wall of floor-to-ceiling windows anchors the living room, flooding the space with natural light and framing breathtaking views of the private gardens is a true showstopper. Custom millwork throughout features built-in bookshelves, abundant storage, a two-sided fireplace, and a beautifully concealed bar behind the sitting room paneling. Original Saltillo tile floors with wood inlay in the entryway flow through the kitchen and sun porch, honoring the home's beginnings while complementing its renovations. The chef's kitchen has been fully renovated with all-new appliances and cabinetry in an open-concept layout that opens to a four-season sun porch perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. This sitting area, accented with a stone wall, is a seamless transition to the expansive rear patio. The formal dining room is framed by a stunning custom arched millwork entrance, with built-in cabinetry, a hidden butler's pantry, and rich random-width hardwood floors. The first-floor primary suite features hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and a spa-inspired bath with custom glass cabinetry, hidden-outlet drawers, glass shower, soaking tub, and generous storage. A second main-level bedroom with abundant built-ins serves beautifully as a home office. The second floor offers three additional bedrooms, two renovated full baths, a generous loft, and a kitchenette — ideal for multigenerational living, au pair accommodations, or a private guest retreat. Step outside to a gardener's paradise beginning with a bluestone patio with a natural gas grill and soothing waterfall feature. The remainder of the grounds include a productive, fenced vegetable garden with raised beds and drip irrigation; a private orchard bearing peaches, apples, pears, persimmons, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and figs; specimen cherry trees, azaleas, and perennial gardens in full seasonal color; an in-ground sprinkler system; and a flat rear lawn with room for a pool. Additional highlights include a ¾" cedar shake roof, all-new windows (except living room), new skylights, a two-car garage, garden shed, full basement with washer/dryer and half bath, and a laundry chute. With only a short commute to Center City and close to many of the area’s universities and restaurants, a property like this, one with architectural distinction, thoughtful living, and extraordinary outdoor beauty, does not often come to market.
