About This Home
As of September 2021Tucked away on a quintessentially Philadelphia low-traffic block, awaits 734 Saint Albans. Featuring smart modifications to the floorplan, this home has been updated for functionality and enjoyment. You'll love the freshly painted white exterior. Inside, you're welcomed by warm bamboo flooring, fresh paint and high ceilings. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and neutral cabinetry. Beyond the kitchen is a spacious powder room, a rare luxury for this block, renovated with modern hexagon tiles and pedestal sink. Upstairs, you will find two nicely sized bedrooms and a hall bathroom. The front room is a southern facing primary with more bamboo floors, and a closet. The back bedroom is a great size for a guest room, office, nursery or workout room and boasts a large private deck. It's a quiet oasis in which to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee or a good book. Finally, head into the piece de resistance, the gorgeously renovated bathroom. This luxurious four piece bath features a rainfall shower, sleek vanity and stylish hexagonal porcelain tiles. The tub is one of a kind, called an Ofuro, or Japanese soaking tub. The tub is crafted out of Hinoki Cedar by an Alaskan company that previously constructed boats and later applied the same concept to design beautiful soaking tubs. Positioned directly above the tub is the skylight, so one can truly relax under the sun or stars. The basement houses the washer and dryer and has extra tall ceilings and is terrific for storage. You will enjoy an unmatchable location, nestled squarely in between some of Philadelphia's finest neighborhoods -- an easy walk to the Italian Market, Queen Village, and even Center City. Whether you like to grocery shop at Whole Foods or Essene Market, you're equidistance between the two. Numerous parks and green spaces can be found under a 10 minute walk. Shot Tower Coffee, John's Water Ice, Weccacoe Playground -- the list of amenities could go on endlessly; this is truly an idyllic place to live.
