About This Home
As of April 2021Looking for a place that's stylish, unique and definitely not the average cookie cutter row home? This one is for you! Move right in to this fantastic 3 bed (or two plus den) 2 full bath home just blocks from Passyunk Square, the Italian Market and Bella Vista. This home is full of reclaimed wood, stone, and countless thoughtful details. First floor features an open concept layout with blue slate floors and a Napolean Fireplaces wood burning stove. In the kitchen you'll find cabinetry custom crafted from reclaimed wood, countertops repurposed from the marble stairs of the Divine Lorraine Hotel and a gorgeous Bertazzoni range. Sliding glass doors from the kitchen lead to a cute back patio that's perfect for grilling. An old freezer door leads to the partially finished basement which can serve as another living space or home office. The second floor has a full bathroom, den/office area that could easily be turned into a bedroom and a spacious bedroom complete with reclaimed shelving, closets and doors. Custom murals were done by sign painter Darin Rowland on this level's ceilings. The third floor is a dreamy, loft-like space with vaulted ceilings, a spacious bedroom and deep closet. The room opens right into another sunny, full bathroom with a vintage claw foot tub. The second and third floors have loads of exposed brick, hardwood floors and plenty of shelving and custom built-ins. Featured on Apartment Therapy, this home really does have it all. With a walk score of 97 you are just steps from public transportation, countless restaurants and shops, the famous Italian Market and all of the action on Passyunk Avenue. Move right into the coolest house on the block!
