1831 Addison St Philadelphia, PA 19146

This is truly a unique opportunity to own a single family home whose open layout, expanded size and special touches make it a rare find on one of Philly's most iconic tree-lined (and lit up) streets. Addison Street was recently hailed by the Huffington Post as the prettiest street in the entire Northeast and also ranked as one of the best blocks in the city by Philadelphia Magazine. This 3-story gem is located just a few blocks from Rittenhouse and Fitler Squares. The prior owners took great pride in their mid-2000s wall to wall rehab project by expanding every floor and increasing ceiling height, giving the property one of the largest livable space footprints on the 1700 and 1800 blocks of Addison. The current owners complimented this work by adding **over $70K in recent upgrades** including a finished basement, fully renovated bathrooms (including a large walk-in master rain shower) and other modern touches such as beautiful mocha brown hardwood floors on the 1st floor and recessed lighting throughout. This is without a doubt a unique city home. Oh, and yes, WITH PARKING!Enter into a great open floorplan that flows from living room to dining room to kitchen. The oversized windows, expanded kitchen window bay, and clear stained glass openings above front and back doors create very good natural light throughout. The kitchen can support any home cook with good counter space, island, expansive cabinetry, pullouts and a large pantry. Continue to the 2nd level to discover a large 2nd bedroom adorned with crown molding, a meaningful 3rd bedroom perfect for a home office, nursery or child s room and a renovated full bathroom with tub. On the 3rd level, you will find the impressively large, private master suite with walk in closet. Oversized windows overlook the beautiful eye level tree. The newly renovated master bath has become our favorite feature of the house and is one of the things we will miss the most. The deck off the master hallway is convenient to unwind in the evening and maintain a modest urban garden.The newly finished basement has hardly been utilized. It can serve as a great second living room, home gym or playroom. It features an additional separate combined storage space / laundry room. You want closet space? This house has it! Both baths include roomy linen closets, each bedroom boasts ample double wides and the master: a double wide and a large walk-in to support any amateur clothes hoarder. Recent improvements include new hot water heater, new furnace, new HVAC compressor, new Samsung Gas Range/Oven, new LG WiFi Washing Machine and recent paint in all rooms except the halls and the 2nd bedroom. The exterior is well maintained, with secure deck, newly paved front sidewalk, new cast iron railing, marble front steps, window boxes and freshly painted doors, shutters and window frames. Did we mention, there's connected PARKING with space to grill? This house is move in ready! If this spectacular property wasn't enough, Addison falls within the highly sought after Albert M. Greenfield Catchment, a 2018 National Blue Ribbon K-8 Elementary and Middle School. The cherry on top are the neighbors who are family friendly, welcoming, social and equally as special.
