Property Description

Some homes feel special the moment you walk in and keep surprising you with one-of-a-kind details. This custom home features a street-to-street lot with a parking space off the mature garden, original wide-plank pine floors, radiant kitchen floors, on demand water system and exposed brick with a two-story wall of windows, three skylights, a custom iron staircase with walnut treads, a clawfoot tub, and built-ins throughout-you have a rare combination of handcrafted finishes, light, and city convenience.It all starts in the front hall, where a built-in bench waits for bags, shoes, and the day's mail, and the pine floors carry you straight back to a wall of glass and greenery. A full bath on the main floor makes it easy to have everyone over for a backyard barbecue. At the heart of the home, the two-story bank of windows and skylights pour light into the kitchen, making the whole space feel airy and alive. This is a kitchen for people who love to cook: a gas cooktop with room for two, a long run of counter for rolling out pasta or plating a weeknight feast, and a peninsula where friends can pull up with a glass of wine and keep the cook company. There is space for a dining table, and the room flows into a cozy living area where glass doors open onto the private, ivy-covered patio. Morning espresso under the umbrella, long dinners outside on summer nights, a mature garden to tend: this is your own quiet corner of the city.The iron staircase leads to the upper floors, and the open second floor seems to float in light on the way to the primary suite at the back. Throughout, exposed brick meets crisp white walls and windows framed by treetops, a natural backdrop for art, books, and collected treasures. One bedroom features floor-to-ceiling built-in shelves ready for a growing library or gallery of favorite things, while the primary suite offers room for a reading nook by the window and several large closets with built-ins. The bath is a true retreat, with the clawfoot tub beneath a skylight, penny tile floors, and a vintage-style vanity full of character.There is room to dream, too. The basement has ceilings over 10 feet high, ready to become a studio, workshop, or media room, and the roof off the third floor offers potential for a future deck with treetop and skyline views.Step outside and Hart Park is right next door. Liberty Lands Park, the galleries, cafes, and restaurants of Northern Liberties and Fishtown, and the Girard Avenue trolley and Market-Frankford Line are all close by. Michelin-recognized favorites Laser Wolf and Pizzeria Beddia are just a few blocks away, with Kalaya and Pietramala a short stroll beyond. Character, light, green space, parking, and a neighborhood made for walking: this is a home ready for its next chapter. Come and see for yourself!
