If you're looking for distinctive charm, a turn-of-the century brick-front rowhouse with standout curb appeal, and a quaint home nestled on a picturesque block in Graduate Hospital--look no further than 2210 Pemberton Street. Step through the vestibule's 3-panel half lite door into a bright, spacious living room that seamlessly flows into a separate dining area--perfect for entertaining or enjoying relaxing evenings at home. Off the dining area is access to the basement which offers a small workshop space, a washer & dryer, and plenty of dry storage. Continue through the dining area to the rear of the home into the sunlight-filled kitchen which boasts a cast-iron double sink, positioned below a large window, as well as a custom recessed-paneled wood ceiling. The kitchen offers direct access to a private brick patio. Enclosed by a brand-new wood fence, this outdoor space is ideal for lounging, grilling, or al fresco dining. Enjoy the unique convenience of being able to drive right up to the gate of your backyard (via Senate Street) and drop off groceries or bring in a bike.
Upstairs, beautiful oak steps and a white picket railing lead to two bedrooms and a generously-sized full bathroom. The front bedroom is the larger of the two and contains a closet, while the second bedroom, which boasts a unique Birch-ply wood-paneled ceiling, comfortably fits a full-size bed and a desk--ideal for guests or a home office. The bathroom, located at the back of the house, is a true highlight with vintage blue tile, exposed brick, built-in wood shelving, ample storage space, and a large window that overlooks the side yard.
The original amber-colored, heart pine wood plank flooring runs throughout the house and much of the authentic crown moulding and trim has been maintained. The homes facade, with its newly repointed original classic red brick front and detailed wood cornice, nestles beautifully into this quiet, tree-lined street. And with only a short walk to grocery stores and restaurants on South Street, Fitler Square, the Schuylkill River Trail, as well as access to University City--the location can't be beat!
