About This Home
As of June 2021Elegance, charm, and attention to detail around every corner, 2228 Locust is sure to enchant you with every step. Enter the classic brick facade into a dramatic tiled vestibule. Pause and decompress from the outside world as you enter your calming front living room. The room offers a fireplace and French-door windows, which open to a balconet, bringing the outside in. Classic heart of pine floors lead you into the fully renovated kitchen, with custom cabinetry, full organized pantry, Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Sharp drawer microwave, and Bosch dishwasher. The room features oiled brass hardware and a bespoke two-way built-in cabinet opening into the dining room, for easy storage or dish display. The dining room overlooks a sunken den space and the patio through an abundance of windows. Walk down a few brass-railed steps to the heated herringbone tile floors of the den. Dramatically tall ceilings are accented by an antique pendant light and new Kolbe French doors leading to the walled terrace. Step out to this sunny backyard area graced by a blossoming Magnolia tree and garden bed surround with landscape lighting. Just beyond is your at-grade parking space with automatic door, leading out to quiet Latimer Street. Inside the den, allow several more brass-railed steps to lead you into the finished lower level. At one side of the space a newly renovated bathroom with steam shower awaits, while a secluded door-accessed hall leads to the mechanicals and ample storage space. Back in the front living room, walk past a coat closet and up the stairs to the second level housing three bedrooms and a full bath. At the rear is a bright and spacious bedroom with a new mahogany deck overlooking the terrace. A chic bathroom is just beyond in the hall, featuring double vanity, clawfoot tub/shower, and laundry closet with Samsung washer/dryer. A private second bedroom overlooks the breezeway and a third front bedroom with refinished original windows sits at the northern end of the house. The third floor is your primary suite. Up a few curved steps is the en-suite wardrobe with organized closets and dressing-table. Pass through to the primary bedroom via hallway or en-suite bath, offering double vanity and marble-tiled shower. The primary bedroom is perfectly oversized, with custom wall-length clothing storage/television console. Diffused light enters from the north through refinished original windows and from an antique stained-glass window lit by the hall’s skylight. Enjoy polished perfection and attention to detail in this Rittenhouse Square classic, from bespoke woodwork, tasteful modernization and refined hardware, to interior windows for spectacular natural light flow. Live a stone’s throw between three of Center City’s most beloved parks, the Schuylkill River Park/Trail, Rittenhouse Square, and Fitler Square. Enjoy short walks to Philadelphia’s central business core, numerous neighborhood cafes, restaurants, a community garden, and shops. Should you care to go beyond this beautiful tree-lined neighborhood, you’re close to 30th Street Station and city-wide bus loops. Or, take your car from the backyard parking space. Close to University of Pennsylvania, Drexel, university hospitals, and within the Greenfield School catchment. Find a refined, yet cozy, sense of home at 2228 Locust that meets all of your needs, inside and out.
