Here's what happens when a super-stylie European renovates what was once a typical South Philly rowhome. Sure, you get sensible updates including new hardwood floors throughout, main-floor laundry and a so-fresh-and-so-clean bathroom update. But you also get a kitchen archway decoupaged with vintage newspaper found in the house (!), great light fixtures and ceiling fans throughout, and a one-of-a-kind industrial-cool kitchen. A sweet vestibule with vintage tile and glass-paneled door leads into the bright, wide-open living/dining room which flows into the large eat-in kitchen with a restaurant-grade freestanding stainless steel sink, pro-style gooseneck faucet, Liebherr bottom-freezer refrigerator and Boos butcher block. Out back is a patio easily twice as big as most in the area, without the concrete block walls you've come to expect--instead there's horizontal wood-plank fencing, and a rain barrel for container gardening. Upstairs is the spacious front master bedroom, a sweet south-facing rear bedroom and a middle bedroom that's usable as an actual bedroom--the current owners expanded the closet to help create a killer dressing room. The hall bath has crisp white beadboard walls and pedestal sink and nice oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. This home's awesome Dickinson Narrows location, with Dickinson Square Park and Grindcore House coffee a couple blocks from the front door, means you can also take advantage of everything in East Passyunk, as well as Pennsport's ever-growing number of businesses: Moonshine, the Industry, the Beer Boutique and soon-to-open Wild Burrito, to name a few.
