Tucked just off the serene Hancock Park and steps from world-class dining, boutiques, and public transit, this 4-story home combines luxury, smart design, and location in one compelling package. Offering over 2,600 square feet of thoughtfully curated living space, this residence boasts garage parking, tax abatement through 2027, and high-end finishes throughout. Step inside to soaring 14-foot ceilings and a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the main living area with natural light. A custom metal and glass staircase leads to the open-concept chef’s kitchen, equipped with quartz countertops, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, white tile backsplash, and an oversized island with seating—perfect for entertaining. Just off the kitchen, enjoy your private deck, ideal for morning coffee or al fresco dinners. The floating mezzanine design allows for an open sightline to the living area below, emphasizing the vertical drama of this home’s modern layout. Upstairs, find two bright and spacious secondary bedrooms, each with ample closet space and elegant baths—one en-suite, the other hall-accessed with a rainfall showerhead and tub combo. The primary suite spans an entire floor, offering a tranquil retreat with a custom walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, dual floating vanities, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower with bold designer tile. At the top, the expansive bi-level roof deck offers sweeping city views and plenty of room to unwind or host guests. The finished lower level adds flexibility for a home gym, office, or media lounge, while the oversized garage—accessed via a private drive aisle—adds rare convenience in the city. Additional highlights include: wide-plank hardwood floors throughout, a smart dual-zone HVAC system with Nest thermostats, intercom/security system, and striking brick façade curb appeal. Located in the Penn Treaty School Catchment, this home is walkable to beloved local favorites like Laser Wolf, Wm. Mulherin’s Sons, La Colombe, and the bustling 2nd Street corridor. Commuting is a breeze with close access to the Market-Frankford Line and I-95. Schedule your private tour today—this home has it all and is ready to impress.
