Description

This sun-soaked West Philly rowhome has been completely renovated with thoughtful touches and upgrades sprinkled throughout. The charming classic porchfront overlooking a garden bed opens into a space that+GGs larger than the home+GGs official square footage would indicate; original charm is preserved via the stunning leaded glass front window while main-floor powder and laundry rooms, hardwired speakers and a handsomely appointed, super-functional kitchen with breakfast bar meet the needs of contemporary living. The open-plan first floor with high ceilings and wide-plank hardwood floors features an exposed brick wall, tray ceilings with recessed lighting in the living and dining areas, and spacious kitchen with ample storage via 42-inch solid wood Shaker-style cabinets and drawers from Philly+GGs own Makello Cabinetry; Whirpool stainless steel appliance package including a five-burner range with and double convection oven and French door fridge with double drawers; granite countertops with an undermount sink below a window with extra-deep granite sill. In the rear there+GGs a true laundry room with Whirlpool Duet frontloaders, storage cabinets and a surface for folding, and access to the roomy half bath with its own window. Upstairs are three bedrooms: the largest in front with a pretty bay window and a full wall of closets, a good-sized rear bedroom with two exposures, and a larger-than-average middle bedroom. They share a skylit hall bath with ceramic tile flooring and tub surround, storage vanity and built-in shelving in addition to the linen closet in the hall. Out back is a decent sized patio, and there+GGs plenty of space for storage in the full basement. The fantastic Cedar Park location has Baltimore Ave shopping, dining and trolley lines three blocks down and Malcolm X Park two blocks up.
