This beautifully renovated house on a quiet little block has charm and style packed into every square inch. It’s got contemporary finishes in the kitchen and bathroom, while its old-house soul shines through via random-width pine floors, much of the original trim, and a mix of vintage and repro light fixtures by Schoolhouse Electric. The simply gorgeous restored brick and marble facade with original detailed cornice has a fun industrial-cool sconce and vintage-inspired teal ceramic house numbers on the yellow door. Custom charm continues in the vestibule entrance with two transom windows and wainscoting made from salvaged school gym flooring. The bright and breezy open-plan first floor has ample room for both a dedicated living space that has two large front windows and a dining area with a rear window and Muuto pendant light fixture. The kitchen has an ultra-functional galley layout with white Ultracraft flat-front cabinets with maple open shelving, light gray subway tile backsplash, white quartz countertops, undermount Blanco Caesarstone sink with Grohe pulldown faucet, and stainless steel appliances including a French door fridge by Haier, dishwasher and five-burner range by Whirlpool and a Frigidaire microwave. Anderson French doors open to the big-for-South-Philly patio with plenty of room for grilling and dining, privacy fencing and an L shape to hide away the AC condenser and trash cans. Upstairs the large front bedroom has two big south-facing windows and two closets. The rear bedroom has a window overlooking the rear yard, and just outside the door to this bedroom is a sweet den with a window. With a laundry closet with Whirlpool HE stacked washer and dryer plus another large closet, it’s a great candidate for a dressing room. The bedrooms have vintage light fixtures and share access to a hall closet and super-stylish bathroom with a pocket door and skylight. The hand-picked finishes here include Grohe hardware, NOGA blue and white Moroccan mosaic cement tile floor; Nameeks wall-mounted sink, and a step-in shower with full-wall oversize subway surround and Caesarstone bench. With laundry in the den, the basement is free for storage. This ultra-convenient section of South Philly is an easy walk to Dickinson Square Park, which hosts a weekly farmer’s market and summer movie and music events, and has an ever-growing number of surrounding cafes. Bok and East Passyunk plus big-box shopping and I-95 are super close by as well.
