Here’s your opportunity to move right into one of Philadelphia’s top neighborhoods - Graduate Hospital- & own a piece of Philadelphia's history on one of its most beautiful & rare “Garden Blocks.” The block is quite tranquil, with birds chirping & the hum of neighborly conversations in the background. Wake up every morning with coffee or tea on your pedestrian-only block with a garden that runs down the center from end to end. Get to know your neighbors, creating your own community in this City of Brotherly Love. This center-hall, colonial-style home is not your typical city railroad-style rowhome. It has just the right proportions, like a suburban home, but with a central city location & all the amenities that come with its prime location. The home’s historic charm includes the original wood floors on the 1st & 2nd floors, exposed brick, interior transoms, cubby spaces on the stairs up to the 2nd & 3rd floors that used to be dumb-waiters, the original clawfoot tubs in both bathrooms, & the original tile surround in the 3rd-floor bathroom. Unusual for the olden days, this home has immense ceiling height & ample closets. Couple that with the southern exposure (northern & western, too!) & abundant natural light, this home feels even more spacious. The owner has lovingly updated the kitchen & the bathrooms, adding a high-end Sunrise Shower assembly to combine the best of both worlds - the comforts of modern-day plumbing in a historic setting. The chef's kitchen is sure to please with its top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, ice-making refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, microwave, & garbage disposal. Set in between the kitchen & the living room is the breakfast nook for your casual meals. Most homes on this block do not have the breakfast nook, which not only adds additional square footage on the 1st floor but provides additional living space on all 3 floors! The rear outdoor space, perfect for storing your bikes & rubbish bins, leads you to Kauffman Street, a small alley street that lends itself well to putting your flashers on & taking your groceries directly to your home, although you are only a 3-minute walk to 2 grocery stores- Giant Heirloom at 23rd & Bainbridge & South Street Market at 23rd & South St! Also on the 1st floor is a formal dining room to the right of the front door & a living room to your left. In a circular fashion, the dining room leads you to the kitchen, the breakfast room, & then back to the living room &, finally, the center entryway & stairs. Having a wide footprint gives the home a gracious feel. Once a 6-bedroom home, 2 pairs of rooms with southern & northern exposure were joined to make 2 oversized rooms on the 2nd & 3rd floors, either of which would be great for your primary bedroom, a home office, &/or an upper-floor den to cozy up & stream your shows. Use the 2 additional bedrooms for other household members, an additional oversized walk-in closet, guest rooms, or whatever you please. The 3rd-floor primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, & connects to the 4th bedroom, which would be a great nursery. To top it all off, you have a spacious & clean basement for laundry & storage, plus access to the roof with an amazing iconic Philadelphia skyline view. There is a storage room on the roof, which is a small 4th-floor. Like to dine out or enjoy a specialty coffee? Just a few-minute walk to Side Car Bar & Grille, Grace Tavern, Ultimo Coffee, & Starbucks. For a night out without your car or to get to work in the central business district, take an easy 15-minute stroll to Rittenhouse Square! Easy bike ride to the Hospital at Penn in West Philly, the Schuylkill River Trail for outdoor recreation, plus easy access to PHL Airport, 30th Street Station, & I76. There is so much more to discover here to see if this is “the home” you’ve been waiting for; so schedule your showing today!
