Nestled on a tree-lined block in one of Philadelphia’s most cherished historic neighborhoods, this brick beauty weaves together architectural charm and everyday comfort with effortless grace. From the moment you step through the foyer’s rounded transom entry, you’re greeted by inlaid wood floors, warm gas fireplace, and a sense that this home has stories to tell. Built-in bookshelves frame a picture window that gazes out to a private patio—an ideal perch for lazy Sundays with a novel and morning coffee. The separate dining room, with a bay window, offers space for holiday celebrations and quiet dinners alike. The light-filled galley kitchen is a cook’s delight, outfitted with stainless steel appliances including an induction stove with dual ovens and a microwave-convection combo. A cleverly designed mudroom/office connects the kitchen to a powder room, pantry, coat closet, and leads to the patio—with a private alley and a staircase to a second-floor deck. Upstairs, three en-suite bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility. The primary suite overlooks quaint Kenilworth Street and offers rare city luxury: four customized closets, including a walk-in. The second bedroom, currently a spacious office/den, features laundry in the bath and direct access to a sun-drenched deck—perfect for a potted garden or evening retreat. Discover a showstopper on the 3rd floor: a vaulted-ceiling bedroom with a magical loft accessed by a trinity-style stair, ideal for a reading nook, creative space, or a child’s dream hideaway. Don’t miss the Tiffany blue ceiling and stained-glass windows that lead you up to a private roof deck with skyline views. A finished basement with wood-look tile flooring adds bonus space for a playroom, home gym, or extra storage. Whether you’re drawn to the preserved historic touches or the modern conveniences tucked into every corner, this one-of-a-kind residence is a rare find—inviting you to write the next chapter in its long Philadelphia story.
