426 S 44th St Unit 2 Philadelphia, PA 19104

At last--the first boutique condo conversion in the Penn Alexander catchment area. These large homes provide the gracious scale and original details that are the hallmark of the neighborhood's Victorian houses, while offering all the right updates, including all-new kitchens, bathrooms, HVAC and the ease of maintenance associated with condo living. No aluminum-and-stucco boxes here; the developer took care to preserve the lovely character of the elegant Victorian twin building, both inside and out. And it could not be in a more idyllic location: half a block from Clark Park and within blocks of all the neighborhood hot spots. The perfect alternative to renting, and without the hefty monthly fees that come with larger condo buildings, Unit 2 is a super-spacious one-bedroom that fills the entire floor and boasts 12 windows. With plenty of space for a dedicated dining area, the large, wide-open living area has a pretty bay window, new hardwood flooring and recessed lighting and leads into the spacious kitchen featuring a Frigidaire stainless steel appliance package, Shaker-style maple cabinetry, wood-grain ceramic tile flooring, granite countertops and an extra-deep stainless steel undermount sink. The humungous bedroom also has new hardwood flooring, closets galore, a large separate area for a home office, dressing area or yoga space, and a stylish en suite bathroom with large vanity, subway tile shower surround with inlaid mosaic tile stone border and conveniently located stackable washer/dryer. This pet-friendly building has a 10-year tax abatement (pending approval).
