This 2005 townhome offers all the must-haves: private outdoor space, garage parking, quality finishes throughout, in the Meredith catchment, plus it's a corner unit with three exposures. Built two to three feet wider than its counterparts, this is a rare example of a new home built with respect for Philadelphia's historical architecture'gabled roof with dormers; lovely detailed cornice, facade, window and door trim; large Colonial-style multi-paned windows; crown molding and hardwood floors'no metal bays here! For all the stylistic respect paid to the past, you've got every modern convenience imaginable: too many closets to count (many with custom organization systems), a full bath for every bedroom, a main-floor powder room, upper-floor laundry, recessed lighting and dual-zone HVAC. A two-story foyer opens to the living room with vaulted ceiling and gas fireplace flanked by custom built-ins, and flooded with light by an enormous arched window. (There is also direct entry from the garage in the rear.) The extra-large eat-in kitchen with 60-inch cabinets, GE Profile stainless appliances, beveled granite countertops and center island with breakfast bar, undermount Elkay sink and stone backsplash overlooks the living room. Upstairs are two very large bedrooms, each with ample closets and four windows, and one with an en suite bath. A hall guest bath and laundry closet with Bosch high-efficiency washer and dryer complete this floor. On the top level is the master suite with a walk-in closet and second extra-large closet, private deck and a big bathroom with double vanity, Jacuzzi tub, separate shower with frameless glass doors, and linen closet. If you've already mentally filled these bedrooms, never fear: The finished basement can serve as your home office, media room, playroom or gym. Situated away from the hustle-bustle but an easy to walk to local shops and some of the city's best dining, and an equally easy hop onto I-95 for your commute, this is the perfect forever home for those looking to have it all in a city setting. The cherry on top? There's still time left on the tax abatement (expires in 2016).
