LINDA MCKINNON

Description

They don’t make them like this anymore! This East Passyunk stunner has all the charming original details of an older home with all the beautiful renovations and smart updates in the places you want them. Crystal doorknobs and deep moldings with a new kitchen and baths? You’re in the right place. Enter through the original tiled vestibule and into an expansive first floor with soaring ceilings. The formal living room is large enough for both lounging and play, and the centerpiece is a gorgeous mantle and reclaimed vintage light fixture. The dining space is large enough for dinner parties and holiday gatherings and opens to the newly renovated kitchen. White shaker cabinets pair with herringbone tile floors, vintage pendant lights, and an island topped with a custom counter by Provenance. Other upgrades you’ll rarely find in a South Philly home include a full size walk in pantry, KitchenAid appliances, and a 36” Verona range from Italy. And the first floor half bath? It’s tucked away on the hall behind a mirrored pocket door, but not overlooked when it comes to its gorgeous design. The second floor features the primary bedroom with french door entry, enormous walk in closet, and en suite bath. A dual vanity and a glass enclosed shower feature timeless finishes. Rounding out the second floor are a second generously sized bedroom, office nook with built in shelving, and a hall bath that would rival a primary bath in any other home - it has a deep tub, marble tile, and a linen closet. The third floor features a suite with a bedroom, bathroom with shower, and a living area with kitchenette. The basement is home to the laundry and ample storage space. Aside from beautiful renovations, a ductless mini-split system has been added for efficient zoned air conditioning. East Passyunk neighborhood offers a plethora of highly rated dining and shopping options, as well as conveniences like grocery and pharmacy and close proximity to the Broad Street Line. Favorites include Dough Head Pizza, Milk Jawn, Superette, The Dutch, Barcelona, Stateside, and many more. The home is also uniquely positioned on 9th St, just a few blocks directly south of the Italian Market for open air shopping and wonderful specialty culinary shops.
