Welcome to 4539 Tolbut Street—a beautifully updated Philadelphia rowhome in the sought-after 19136 zip code. Bathed in natural light and thoughtfully refreshed from top to bottom, this residence combines classic brick‐façade charm with modern finishes, making it the perfect place to call home. Set back from the street by a neatly landscaped front yard and fenced-in garden, this stately brick home offers curb appeal and street‐side parking. A private driveway leads to a one‐car garage—an enviable feature for rowhouse living. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined block, you’ll find yourself just minutes from shopping, dining, parks, and easy access to major commuting arteries. Step inside to discover gleaming hardwood floors that flow seamlessly from the front living room into the adjoining dining area. The sun‐drenched living room boasts a large front window, neutral paint palette, and plenty of space for full‐size furnishings. Adjacent, the formal dining room offers a built‐in light fixture overhead and is perfectly sized for entertaining or everyday meals. A stylish half‐wall opens to the kitchen, creating an open‐feel while maintaining defined spaces. The kitchen is a standout blend of function and style. Vibrant red quartz‐composite countertops contrast beautifully with warm maple‐tone cabinetry. Stainless‐steel appliances—including a five‐burner gas range, built‐in microwave, and modern refrigerator—are complemented by a stainless‐steel sink and contemporary faucet. Open shelving above the countertop provides space for display or storage, and recessed lighting keeps the workspace bright. Hardwood‐style laminate flooring ensures an easy‐to‐maintain cooking environment and an effortless transition between rooms. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, each featuring plush neutral carpeting and ample closet space. The primary bedroom fills with morning light through a large window overlooking the quiet block, while the second bedroom (perfect for guests or a nursery) is accented by a crisp white door and neutral walls that coordinate seamlessly with any décor. A beautiful full bath serves this level, showcasing a sleek marble‐top vanity, modern chrome fixtures, and a tub/shower combination framed by a bright, graphic floral shower curtain. A large vanity mirror with decorative tiling above and an overhead fixture provide excellent illumination. A well‐lit basement provides generous storage space and the convenience of in‐unit laundry hookups. Whether you’re storing seasonal décor or setting up a workshop, this clean, dry lower level offers additional functionality to suit your needs. Step out the back door to your private concrete patio—ideal for grilling, relaxing, or entertaining in warmer months. The fenced‐in backyard creates a safe space for kids and pets, while the long driveway accommodates two vehicles and leads to a secure one‐car garage with room for additional storage.
