Description

Presenting 4726 Cross Street, a custom-designed carriage house offering the most discerning buyer a glorious melding of traditional and modern, formal and casual, practical and luxurious. Developed and designed by one of Philadelphia’s leading sustainable and green building pioneers, Lehmann Homes, the Enclave at Sheldon Crossing remains a masterwork long after its completion. Every custom detail throughout this home has been a meticulous collaboration between the builder and the seller to create a timeless, one-of-a-kind design. Beginning at the entry, a flagstone driveway and walkway flanked in lush greenery leads to a grand entry with a wide foyer with an inlaid tile rug, a fitting and welcoming invitation. The entry level offers access to the oversized one car garage, a coat closet, utility room, and a bonus room with a full bath outfitted in lux ebony herringbone tile, providing privacy for guests as a 4th bedroom or an ideal space for a gym or den. Upstairs, the main living floor is truly a showpiece. A sun-drenched, completely open-concept floor plan boasts 12 feet of sliding doors inviting the outside in and removing visual barriers to allow for an expanded sense of space while providing a transparent shield that protects from weather. The deck is where you’ll enjoy coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening in front of the fire pit. A privacy fence creates a true outdoor room and lush plantings, and twinkling lights provide the backdrop. The living room exceeds expectations with a gas fireplace with marble surround, custom built-ins, a wine fridge, crown molding, and dramatic coffered ceilings. The kitchen is the heart of every home and this centralized chef’s kitchen will not disappoint. The 10’ island with custom pendant lights and a striking wallpapered tray ceiling set the tone of this wonderful, whimsical space that anchors the floor. 42” Century-Gatehouse cabinets, a Wolf 6-burner gas stove, a built-in microwave, and a Subzero refrigerator are expected in a home of this caliber but a beautiful inlaid tile backsplash feature takes it to the next level. The adjacent dining room easily seats 10 and begs for a dinner party. Custom track art lighting, Sonos surround sound and a spectacular glass chandelier create the mood. A powder room and a large pantry round out the floor. Upstairs through dramatic double doors, find the sun-soaked primary suite, which boasts thoughtful details that have been blended effortlessly with modern comforts, creating a truly inspirational sanctuary. The spa-like bath offers double vanities with a marble backsplash, a free-standing soaking tub, and an oversized glass-enclosed shower with a rainfall showerhead. A separate water closet with a toilet allows for privacy. The primary bedroom merges classic charm with modern influences and the innovative design of a five-star hotel. With a diamond accent wall, recessed and track art lighting, and an enviable walk-in closet that raises the standard from an ordinary closet to a boutique-like space, this bedroom is everything you'd expect from a home of the highest distinction. The 4th floor features two additional sunny en-suite bedrooms with recessed lighting and plush luxury carpeting, as well as a comfortable office. The pièce de resistance of the home may not even be the home itself but rather the extraordinary roof deck. A truly magnificent cherry on top, the deck spans 16x49, the entire footprint of the home. Experience unobstructed views of the city’s skyline, and the hills of Manayunk. Sunsets are absolutely spectacular. A covered Trex deck with two rustic re-claimed barnwood feature walls, outdoor pergola curtains, and a full bar complete with a beverage fridge and a TV, allow for year-round enjoyment. Perfect for the buyer with discerning taste and an eco-conscious mindset, this gracious home truly checks all the boxes. *6 years remaining on tax abatement.
