Welcome home to this beautiful and historic 1860s home on a tree-lined quiet street. The architect owners have fully remodeled and re-designed their home to high standards throughout. The ground floor open plan kitchen/dining room has direct access through glass doors to the landscaped patio with Ipe deck. The light-filled kitchen has stainless steel, a french door refrigerator, a “glass-in gas cooker”, and Fisher and Paykel double-drawer dishwasher. There is an attractive wood-burning fireplace, open shelving, and hardwood flooring. The tiled bath on the ground floor with a mahogany sink could also be used as a dog washing station. The original staircase leads to the 2nd-floor living room. This room takes up the entire floor and has high ceilings, built-in shelves, and oak and poplar paneling. There is a storage nook with a full-size Electrolux refrigerator. On the 3rd floor are the main bedroom and another tiled bath. The main bedroom has wall-to-wall closets and hardwood floors. The smaller second bedroom has built-in closets. All of the custom closets and doors on the third floor are made of translucent polycarbonate panels. Even the basement has been designed with care. The vapor barrier on the walls – spaced poplar paneling so that no moisture can be trapped in the basement. Flooring is large format tiles. The mechanicals and storage spaces are hidden behind more poplar paneling. The current owners have used the basement as a guest room. It’s optimal for the company as a full bath is on the ground floor at the top of the basement stairs. There is also a full laundry in the basement. Easy access to Trader Joe’s, Giant, and Whole Foods. Blocks to Center City. Centered in Cultural Mile (Barnes, Rodin, PMA, and under-construction Calder museums) and greenways of Parkway and Schuylkill Banks. Catchment for Albert M Greenfield school. Short distance to 30th St Station, Drexel, and Penn.
