A timeless blend of period details and modern amenities are showcased in this grand, three-story residence, circa 1906. Tastefully decorated with contemporary colors and hues, this handsome 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home exudes modern sophistication while honoring the charm and original details that make it so special. The home's quintessential Victorian charm begins at the curb with a solid wood door below a transom window, a beautifully pointed brick facade and a turned step. Once inside, the home dazzles with open, sun-drenched spaces and offers classic simplicity, design-sensitive renovations and classic vintage restorations. Enter through the sunny vestibule with a delicate stained glass transom window to the foyer to find a grand winding staircase with detailed lattice work and soaring ceilings. The parlor boasts 11' ceilings with a beautiful plaster medallion, rich crown moldings, an ornate Divine Lorraine-inspired gold leaf mirror atop an original antique marble decorative fireplace and stunning random width pine hardwood flooring. The adjoining dining room is the perfect space for large family gatherings and entertaining and first floor powder room adds convenience. The spacious, masterful kitchen is a chef's dream boasting oak cabinets, granite countertops and flooring and a playful mosaic-tiled backsplash in cool green tones. Sliders to the yard allow the outside in and flood the room with natural light. The lush back yard featuring both brick pavers and grass, is spacious with seating areas and room to garden, and ideal space for late summer barbecues and dining al fresco. The second floor offers two sunny bedrooms, one with an ancillary space, perfect for a studio, home office or the walk-in closet of your dreams. A laundry room and a beautiful hall bath with classic subway tile, wainscoting, a pedestal sink and retro-inspired tile flooring round out the second floor. The crowing jewel of the home is the third floor sun-soaked Master Suite with large closets and a spa-like bath with a modern floating vanity and a stunning frameless shower. In a neighborhood where private outside space is coveted, this home will not disappoint. In addition to the spacious yard, there is potential roof deck access which can be converted from the third floor window. You'll love the neighborhood: walk to favorite eateries, American Sardine Bar, South Philly Tap Room, Ultimo and Chick's.
