Historically certified, circa 1846, 318 S American is filled with light from its East, West and North exposures as well as period and contemporary features. Behind the original brick facade you will find a classic 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath home with one car parking directly behind your rear garden gate. Enter into the main floor through the vestibule which opens to the central dining area with period built in cabinetry and niche. The dining area opens to the front living room with its gracious proportions, wood burning fireplace with King of Prussia trimmed antique mantle as well as plaster trim and crown moulding. Both have exquisite antique pumpkin pine floors. On the way to the kitchen you will find the first of three outdoor spaces. Between the dining area and the breakfast area is an outdoor dining room with flagstone floor and garden walls. The contemporary galley kitchen is lined with custom cherry cabinetry, generous stone counters as well as Fisher & Paykel, Miele and Bosch stainless steel appliances. Just beyond the kitchen you will find the West facing bricked rear garden. Outside the garden gate is your parking space in a gated lot accessed from 3rd street between Spruce and Delancey. On the second floor you will find two bedrooms, the larger of the two, in the front, is used as the main bedroom. The second bedroom has extensive built-in cabinetry and bookshelves and is currently used as an office. There is a wonderful full bath in the rear on this level with a double sink marble clad vanity, built in cabinetry, moorish tile floor and ingenious, disappearing, west facing oval window. On the way up to the third floor step out onto the roof deck with its unobstructed western views. The third floor has two additional bedrooms with a shared full bath,
The home's lower level is fully finished with built-in book shelves, wood burning fireplace, powder room, washer and dryer as well as the home's mechanical systems. The 300 block of S American street is incredibly quiet with a great neighborhood feeling. Just a block away from Three Bears Park and two blocks from Headhouse Square and its outstanding farmers market as well as multiple restaurants, coffee shops and all types of retail. In the McCall school catchment.
