1926 Brandywine St, Philadelphia, PA 19130

Spacious and bright contemporary carriage house in prime historic Spring Garden location. Garage and entrance on the 1900 block of Brandywine. Entry foyer with exposed brick wall, tile floors, two large coat closets and direct access door to garage. The entire house is illuminated by a central, large atrium glass roof. Open floor plan living room, dining room and kitchen with South-facing windows and door. Wood floors, 11ft ceilings, gas fireplace, custom millwork built-ins and contemporary cook's kitchen with a large island create a wonderful space for entertaining. Also on the ground level is a bedroom or office and full tiled bath with a large shower. Dramatic glass and chrome accented stairway leads to the open and sunny second floor. This level with wood floors and multi-level ceilings has a spacious bedroom with multiple closets, large bathroom with double sink vanity and sliding glass door and tile shower and a separate laundry room. The remaining space on the second floor is open plan den, workspace with built-in desk, shelving and closets. This home was custom built or two empty-nesters with dramatic space available. The precedent has been set on Brandywine Street for adding a third floor. Rooms could be added to the second floor or on the roof without sacrificing the atrium or the South-facing IPE Wood deck with skyline views, gas-line grill and planters. This is a gracious contemporary space with a garage, a rooftop deck in a terrific quiet location, close to the parks, MLK and Kelly Drives, museums, universities, restaurants and public transportation.
