Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Heres your opportunity to bring your vision and own a piece of Philadelphia's history on one of Graduate Hospitals most beloved and tranquil Garden Blocks. Whether you fancy blue, green, purple, or red, you will love the opportunity to make this unique home your own. 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 has just the right proportions. Once a 6-bedroom home, 2 pairs of rooms with southern and northern exposure were joined to make two oversized rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors, either of which would be great for your primary bedroom, a home office for one or two people, and/or an upper floor den to cozy up and stream your shows. Use the two additional bedrooms for other household members, home offices, an additional oversized walk-in closet, guest rooms, or whatever you please. The 3rd-floor primary bedroom is larger than its 2nd-floor counterpart, has a walk-in closet, and connects to the 4th bedroom. The homes historic charm includes the original wood floors on the 1st and 2nd floors, exposed brick, interior transoms, cubby spaces on the stairs up to the 2nd and 3rd floors that used to be dumb-waiters, the original claw foot tubs in both bathrooms and the original tile surround in the 3rd-floor bathroom. Unusual for the olden days, this home has immense ceiling height and ample closets. Couple that with the southern exposure (northern and western, too!) and abundant natural light, this home feels even more spacious. The owner has lovingly updated the kitchen and 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, and garbage disposal. Because the home has an additional breakfast nook, it is one of the largest homes on the block. The rear outdoor space, perfect for storing your bikes and rubbish bins, leads you to Kauffman Street, a small alley street that lends itself well to putting your flashers on and taking your groceries directly to your home, although you are only a 5-minute walk to 2 grocery stores- Giant Heirloom at 23rd and Bainbridge and South Street Market at 23rd and South St! Also on the 1st floor is a formal dining room to the right of the front door and a living room to your left. In a circular fashion, the dining room leads you to the kitchen, the breakfast room, and then back to the living room and, finally, the center entryway and stairs. Having a wide footprint gives the home a gracious feel. To top it all off, you have a spacious and clean basement for laundry and storage, plus access to the roof with an amazing iconic Philadelphia skyline view. While you would have to go through the proper permitting process with the City and Historic Commission to get permission to build a deck, which would have to be set back from the front of the property line, there is an additional 4th-floor storage room on the roof. If desired, you might be able to connect it to the interior stairway that leads up to the roof level and gain additional indoor and outdoor living spaces. Like to dine out or enjoy a specialty coffee? Just a few-minute walk to Side Car Bar and Grille, Grace Tavern, Ultimo Coffee, and Starbucks. For a night out without your car, take an easy 15-minute stroll to Rittenhouse Square! Easy access to PHL Airport, 30th Street Station, and I76. There is so more to discover here to see if this is the home youve been waiting for; so schedule your showing today!
