About This Home
As of July 2021Just off Girard Ave, between N 4th and 5th Street in the heart of South Kensington is a fantastic 3 year old, smart home, condominium with 1 car parking and a tax abatement! This vibrant and bustling area between Northern Liberties and Old Kensington is home to great restaurants, coffee shops, bars and boutiques. Unit two is an upgraded, sun-filled, upper, bi-level condo with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, plus a fantastic roof deck. The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining friends and guests in our post-covid world. Smart switches and thermostats add to the pleasure of living here. The living room/dining room area features hardwood floors and recessed lighting. An abundance of natural light shines through the glass sliders. The kitchen features trendy gray shaker-style cabinets, upgraded stainless steel appliances, subway-tile backsplash, and an extra-large island with waterfall counters. Just down a short hallway is the extra spacious guest bedroom and a full hall bathroom. The gorgeous hardwood floors continue into the bedroom which is large enough for a queen bed plus an office/Peloton area. The hall bathroom features neutral gray 12x24in tile in the tub/shower combo, plus a modern vanity with drawers for storage. The second level of this home features the primary bedroom (with two closets) and a private en-suite bathroom, plus an additional bedroom (with double closet) and full hall bathroom. The primary bathroom features seamless glass shower with gray tile and is complete with a storage niche and large vanity. The hall bathroom features extra large white subway tiles in the tub/shower combo and a modern vanity. There is also a wet bar on this level with a built-in mini wine refrigerator, plus GE front loading washer/dryer for convenient upper-floor laundry. The roof deck offers incredible views and is perfect for dining under the stars and lounging in the sun. A wall of windows at the top of the hallway brings in tons of natural light. This unit also features off-street parking for one car! Live in the heart of it all with a WalkScore of 95. You’ll be in walking distance to nearby grocery stores ACME and Giant Heirloom, and you’ll be close to incredible eateries in the area, including Laser Wolf which was recently ranked by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the best restaurants in the world.
