About This Home
As of May 2025Here is a great opportunity to own a wonderful historic corner property in the lovely South Philadelphia neighborhood of Melrose. The fine brick facade, brownstone arches, and an elaborate cornice wrapping around to the Carlisle Street side beautifully conceal a home that has been updated for modern living while retaining many historic elements both inside and out. Step through the wide front door into an original foyer with tiled walls and floors, illuminated by an antique pendant lamp at night, and double full light doors by day. The foyer opens to a large living area with high ceilings flanked on one side by a painted wood mantle and on the other side by the original staircase. A large south-facing and an east-facing window provide ample natural living room light. Oak flooring with a walnut border extends from the living room through the wide archway into the dining room and right up to the open kitchen at the rear of the house. Beautiful original radiators provide warming radiant heat while a separate AC System provides cool air in the summer months. The dining area is very spacious. Below two east-facing windows is a wall-length window seat with storage cabinets. There is plenty of room for dinner parties for friends and family. A contemporary kitchen with warm walnut-stained cabinets and white Corian countertops wraps around all four sides, including a peninsula with a counter to pull up a couple of stools. There are modern stainless steel appliances. Two windows help keep the natural light flowing through this entire living level. Beyond the kitchen is a private patio ready for your personal touches to create an urban oasis. Upstairs, you will find original pine floors running throughout the floor, three spacious bedrooms, and a hall bath. The primary bedroom at the front of the house has an ensuite full bath plus 12' of closet space. Again, being a corner property, all the rooms are light-filled through the large windows. The basement is large and dry, so great for storage. It is also home to the washer and dryer, as well as a double porcelain utility sink. If you don't know this neighborhood yet, there is so much to explore. It is a short walk from great decades-old purveyors such as Cascia's, Dad's Stuffing, L'Angolo, and Ritner Hardware, as well as being a short walk to the South Philly Food Coop, Cafe Nhan, Ultimo, several good Mexican spots, and the Broad Street Line. This is a gem of a neighborhood and a property that you don't want to miss.
