The attention to detail & craftsmanship are immediately apparent, with the beautifully restored original features, making this home unique & filled with character. Spanning 3 floors, plus a large basement, this home has the space you have been seeking. Enjoy the perks of living in a quiet neighborhood, between multiple bustling areas such as East Passyunk Ave, the Italian Market & Dickinson Narrows, & still close to public transit, restaurants, shops, major highways & more. Plus with Gold Star Park directly across the street, you can enjoy green space just outside the front door. Only 2 blocks from Washington Ave makes commuting & accessing major highways & bridges a breeze. Approaching the home, you'll enjoy the charming brick front with stone lentils accenting the windows. The home features many of the original details, such as gorgeous over the post walnut railings, radius moldings & walls, beautiful transoms, pulled plaster crown molding & grand 8 feet tall French doors in the foyer & living room. The 1st floor has the original heart pine wood floors refinished to bring back their awesome beauty & shows the quality of materials used to build the home. In the foyer are 2 unique paintings on each wall, possibly from the early 1900s, that are a great conversation piece. The living area in the front of the home is flooded with natural light through the oversized windows & features an elegant marble fireplace, notable crown molding, an eclectic chandelier with custom plaster ceiling trim & birch/pine wainscoting. The wainscoting continues in the hallway & adds a sophisticated touch. The openness between rooms provides a great flow to the main living spaces. The two 8 ft French doors frame the wide opening to the dining area, that is massive, with space to host all your family & friends, plus there s a glass door to the yard. The newly redone kitchen is stunning with grey shaker style cabinets, beautiful white subway tile backsplash, butcher block counters & custom tile flooring. The gorgeous kitchen has a modern French/Neo Victorian style adding to the elegance of the home. The kitchen also has a faux tin ceiling, custom lighting, a vent hood, an oversized sink & stainless steel appliances. In the rear is a laundry/mud room, half bath & 2nd exit to the yard, for added convenience. The private yard is spacious with a brick patio & large raised flower bed, a great space for relaxing & gardening. Up the classic wood stairs, along the beautiful walnut railings, is the 2nd floor, with 3 bedrooms & the full bathroom. The rear bedroom is spacious & has a custom built wood storage center with a bench in the middle-a perfect reading spot. The hall bathroom has a tub/shower combo with tile surround. The front bedroom is also large, with a ceiling fan, oversized windows overlooking the park & a 2nd entry to the 3rd bedroom, which could be utilized as an office, walk-in closet, guest room, etc. Rounding out this spacious home is the 3rd floor, with 2 additional bedrooms & a linen closet. The full basement provides great storage space, has a built in workbench, freshly painted floor & houses the washer & dryer hookups, plus the mechanicals. Again, one of the great benefits to this location is directly across the street: Gold Star Park, a dog friendly, public park with a playground & ample grass space. This year the park got a large grant to continue the transformation that included creating a larger playground, fenced in grass area, added seating & picnic area. The 2nd phase will include a further redesign with more lighting and designated areas for dog & non-dog users. Don t miss the chance to own this spacious home filled with character & many original design features that've been gorgeously maintained to accent the charm, plus in a convenient location, this home has the unique features you've been waiting for.
