Welcome to Spring Garden living at its finest, where timeless character meets modern comfort on one of the neighborhood's most sought-after blocks. This beautifully renovated home blends elegance, warmth, and practicality in all the right ways. Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, with a layout that just makes sense. Flexible, sunlit spaces, original charm, and the perfect balance of historic detail and modern ease.
Step inside through the classic entry vestibule and into an inviting first floor where scale and proportion steal the show. The open living room features high ceilings, wide-board pine floors, crown molding, and a marble fireplace mantel that whispers "historic Philadelphia" in the best way. An elegant powder room and spacious dining area with side windows, more crown molding, and a coat closet make entertaining effortless.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, bright, functional, and full of character. Painted wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a subway tile backsplash, gas cooking with exterior venting, and space for a breakfast table all come together beautifully. A door leads directly to your private fenced brick patio, perfect for grilling, gardening, or unwinding with a glass of wine after dinner.
Upstairs, the second floor offers a primary suite you'll actually look forward to retreating to, complete with an 8x8 walk-in dressing closet and a sleek, tile bath with an oversized shower and wide vanity. A lovely rear bedroom, full hall bath with soaking tub, and a light-filled laundry room make this level as functional as it is beautiful.
The third floor features two additional bedrooms with pine floors, including one that opens directly onto an amazing roof deck, your private perch above the city with skyline views and open sky for days.
Downstairs, a finished basement adds a whole new layer of living space, perfect for a media room, yoga studio, gym, or home office, with a second powder room and generous storage.
With central air, gas heat, newer systems, and 200-amp electric, this home offers all the comforts of modern living within a classic architectural frame.
