You'll enter into a light-filled 16' wide living room boasting hardwood floors, recessed lighting, crown molding, wainscoting, soaring ceilings and two walls of windows, flooding the space with natural light. The dining room with industrial chandelier centerpiece begs for a dinner party and easily accommodates 10 guests. The sunny eat-in kitchen was fully remodeled in 2022; features custom 60" cabinets with quartz countertops, classic subway tile backsplash, LG stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island, perfect for food prep, dining, and entertaining. First floor powder room was renovated in 2021 with Kohler pedestal sink, Toto toilet, modern tile. The 40' private backyard was redone in 2021; permeable stone paver patio, natural grass, and custom stone raised bed garden—extremely rare to find this type of yard in South Philly!

The third floor boasts two luxurious Master Suites, both with full spa-like bathrooms.
