**Please view the 3D Tour** Walk down beautiful Addison street every day...by calling it home! This famous block keeps its trees lit 365 days a year and this home has only been occupied by 3 different families since it was built around 1865 at the end of the Civil War. It has been updated over the years, with 3 bedrooms, separate upper floor office/den, 2 full bathrooms, finished basement with temperature controlled wine cellar... and ROOFTOP DECK! The entrance vestibule still has original plaster work on the ceiling- don't forget to look up! The first floor is bright and open with a working wood-burning fireplace, open staircase, large front windows with original trim, open dining room and kitchen with built in nooks and large pull out spice rack. There is alley access to Addison from the side patio, making trash, bike or stroller storage a breeze! Because the house is extra deep, the back half is detached from the neighboring home, allowing for side windows which bring in more light than your average interior row home. The second floor rear room is used as an office and den with built in bookcases on two walls and recessed nooks for displaying all your favorite things. The full bathroom off this room features a gorgeous wood countertop and spa bath with skylight which feels more like cabin living than city since the rear of the home overlooks gardens and trees. The front bedroom on the second floor is massive with a full wall of built in closets and large windows in the front and an extra window in the back overlooking the patio. The third floor back bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with walk in shower and custom wood countertops and the front third floor bedroom has city skyline views, especially gorgeous at night. The roof deck feels like a secret treehouse as you access it from the third floor, with steps that you can tuck away when not in use. The simultaneous views of 1800s Philadelphia below and the modern day city-skyline straight ahead are what makes Philadelphia so unique!! This home is just 2.5 blocks south of Rittenhouse Square and all its great restaurants, the grocery store and dry cleaner. There is a monthly parking garage on 17th and South just one block away or street parking with permit. Addison Street itself is a no-parking street but it is also wide- which means you can pull up and unload your car of kids, groceries or luggage right in front of your door without blocking the street or feeling rushed. The residents of the block come together throughout the year to rehang the lights, celebrate Halloween and just enjoy each other and the street!
