Standing commanding and wide with 16 feet of frontage and 1,600 square feet of meticulously designed space, the home features three spacious bedrooms and 2.5 newly redone bathrooms, thoughtfully crafted to accommodate your life's unfolding stories. Step inside through the solid oak doorway and hand-tiled vestibule to discover a timeless and welcoming atmosphere created by original pine flooring, cozy wood-burning fireplace (with a custom, chestnut mantel from the 1700's), and an exposed brick accent wall. The living areas flow seamlessly, offering a balanced space for both entertainment and relaxation. The newly updated kitchen is a chic blend of functionality and style, inspiring of culinary adventure and lively conversation with decorative tiling, natural quartz countertops, modern stainless-steel appliances, and an artful curation of airiness and light. The home extends its allure with its welcoming front porch, a rarity in the area, perfect for enjoying morning coffees or evening sunsets. Raised planters border the front to keep thumbs green and invite life and natural beauty into your space. Out back, through the bright and airy sunroom, a quiet garden oasis waits to be filled with laughter and tales told around a fire. Adorned with more raised planters, a hand-built custom bench, and ample room to grill and dine al-fresco, this large 1,440 sq ft lot is a true gem in the crown. The exposed brick and original carved banister extend upstairs, where this house truly becomes a home. With a convenient laundry area nestled next to an elegant bathroom, two generous-sized bedrooms, and a large sun-strewn master with newly remodeled en-suite bathroom, no need goes unmet, and no project has been overlooked by the loving hands of the current owners. It truly is ready and waiting for you. With easy access to both center city and ample green spaces, situated just blocks from the Art Museum, Boathouse Row, and all the shops and restaurants along Fairmount Ave, this property not only offers a home but a lifestyle. Additionally, the Route 15/G Trolley to Fishtown and access to interstate-76 are both just minutes away giving you the freedom to roam further afield. For those who write their own stories, seeing this home in person is sure to solidify the arc of your life's next chapter. Embrace this opportunity while it knocks, it won’t linger long.
