Description

This spacious home in a fantastic East Passyunk location is chock-full of original charm, starting with a vestibule entrance with transom windows and original multi-paned glass door; gorgeous freshly refinished random-width pine floors; all original trim; and uber-charming vintage French doors separating the living and dining rooms. And, thanks to the 10-foot ceilings and a fresh white color palette punctuated by perfectly chosen pops of color, it has a bright, airy and stylish vibe. The large living room has a decorative fireplace and a tucked-away powder room with a fun mosaic floral patterned cement tile floor. The dining room has a unique setup with sliding glass doors on the side wall that open to the L-shaped paved yard, making for optimal use of space in the kitchen. An extra-wide archway opens to its U-shaped layout featuring stainless steel appliances, including a French door fridge and Samsung five-burner range, white Shaker-style lower cabinets and handsome floating wood shelves. The warm terra cotta-inspired ceramic tile floor pairs nicely with a pale blue glass elongated subway tile backsplash and white veined quartz countertops with stainless undermount sink. A stately staircase and original banister with a graceful turn leads you upstairs to the three nicely sized bedrooms and bathroom. The rear bedroom with slate-blue painted floors has two exposures and a separate sitting area/dressing room. The middle bedroom connects to the largest front bedroom; both are sunny and make great standalone rooms, or could be used as a primary with an extra-large dressing room. The hall bath was updated without losing its charm; there’s a large window, original cast iron tub with full-wall subway tile surround with two large niches, sweet beadboard wainscoting, a vintage-inspired wall-mounted sink, original medicine cabinet and vibrant yellow wall-hung radiator. Storage and laundry are in the super clean standing-height basement. Moore St meets Passyunk Ave just below 13th St, putting nationally recognized dining, shopping and community events less than two blocks from your front door.
