About 1243 S 18th St

Welcome to 1243 S 18th St. This meticulously renovated home is what you have been waiting for. This home is located on a wonderful block, in the heart of Point Breeze, surrounded by tons of gorgeous homes, and close to Graduate Hospital, Rittenhouse, and all of Center City. Enter the home, and you are greeted with an expansive, open floor plan that sets the stage for this lovely, large home. A wall of exposed 100-year-old brick is the focal point, as you relax in your oversized living room with 9-foot ceilings, recessed lighting, and gorgeous hardwood flooring. Oversized windows let in plenty of natural light as well. Past the living room is the dining area, which has a statement chandelier and a convenient half bath. The galley kitchen has a great design, with a built-in drawer microwave and a beautiful hood over the range. The herringbone backslash is gorgeous and complements the custom cabinetry and quartz countertops. The rear yard is massive and affords nice privacy and great sunlight. Down the stairs to the basement, you are treated with a full wetbar and a full bathroom. The door at the top of the stairs affords this area privacy, and allows an owner to easily use the lower level as a 4th bedroom is they desire. A large rear storage area houses mechanicals. There is a sump pump, as well as a full home water pressure tank, which increases water pressure throughout the home. The second floor has 2 wonderfully sized bedrooms, each with its unique perks. These bedrooms share a huge full hall bath with tub, double vanity, and linen closet. This level also has a hall double-large linen closet, as well as full full-sized laundry (not in the basement). The 3rd floor is stunning. Enter through the sliding barn-door, and you are greeted with a wetbar with massive tiles for the backsplash. Custom shelving and a gorgeous pendant light complete the area. The wetbar is flanked by two huge walk-in closets. The bedroom itself is incredible, with 13 foot ceilings, extra large windows, it is truly a remarkable primary bedroom. The primary bath is spacious and offers a double sink, a massive shower, and a very large linen closet. The roof deck has 2 levels, setting it apart from all others. Both spaces are large enough on their own, but 2 levels make it just feel different. This home is truly for a discerning buyer. This home comes with a 10 year tax abatment and one year home warranty.
