    Modern recessed lightingSpacious walk-out balconyBrand new fencingExpansive patioStylish kitchenCozy wainscoted powder roomLarge landing area
    Gorgeous, unique 18-foot wide(!) home on a beautiful tree-lined street in the heart of Olde Kensington! Enter through the pristine brick facade and over the marble threshold into the cheerful and open-concept main level, which welcomes you with a sunny living area adorned with gleaming natural hardwood floors underfoot, modern recessed lighting, and a cozy wainscoted powder room. This space flows seamlessly into the stylish kitchen, highlighted by ceramic tile floors, granite countertops, a wine rack, and open shelving. Elegantly combining form and function, it also boasts a tasteful breakfast bar and is surrounded by plentiful wood and glass cabinetry that offers both storage and display options. Further, it comes loaded with luxurious stainless steel appliances, including a GE microwave, Whirlpool refrigerator & dishwasher set – all from 2023 – and a Frigidaire oven/gas range. Past the kitchen through the rear door is the private, expansive patio with brand new fencing, perfect for alfresco dining, entertaining, or some relaxation in the sun. Venturing back inside and up the first flight of stairs greets you with a large landing area leading out to a spacious walk-out balcony, superb for savoring morning coffee or a good book. Down the hall are two commodious bedrooms, as well as a newly renovated full bath that exudes sophistication – underscored by eye-catching patterned floor tile, subway wall tile, and gold-accented hardware. Up the second flight of stairs, the entire third level serves as the gigantic primary suite, with abundant natural sunlight streaming through two skylights. Open the French doors and step out onto the Juliet balcony, excellent for refreshing morning air and evening sunsets. A capacious walk-in closet ensures ample space for your entire wardrobe. The roomy en suite bathroom promises comfort and privacy, with double vanity sinks and a discreetly located water closet, and is accentuated by floor-to-ceiling tile and glass shower stall. Back all the way down to the lowest level is the fully-finished basement with brand new laminate flooring, with a convenient laundry area housing a washer/dryer set, and offering additional storage under charming archways of the original foundation, adding even more character to this alluring home. Nestled in the heart of booming Olde Kensington, and just footsteps from Northern Liberties and Fishtown, its location is truly fantastic. All of this is punctuated by its proximity to Girard Station, I-95, ACME & Giant supermarkets, and all the countless neighborhood favorite bars & restaurants for which this area is known. This move-in ready home has been cared for with love throughout its entire ownership – schedule a tour now before it is too late!
