Luxe finishes, distinctive details, and beautifully preserved character give 1309 Christian St a personality all its own in the heart of vibrant Hawthorne. This standout renovated home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full and 1 half bathrooms, a finished basement, a private patio, and a fantastic walkable location. Out front, a classic red brick facade is enlivened by colorful window boxes and a mature tree that adds privacy and shade. A traditional vestibule with intricate mosaic tile welcomes you inside, opening to a dramatic living room where gleaming original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, tall windows, a decorative marble fireplace, extensive wainscoting, crown molding, and a stained-glass transom immediately set the tone. A substantial staircase features intricate millwork at the heart of the main level, joined by matching wood columns and a statement powder room boasting textured wallpaper, a marble-topped vanity, brass fixtures, and eye-catching tilework. The sunlit dining room continues the detailed wainscoting and is centered around a striking chandelier, creating a memorable setting for entertaining. At the rear, the stunning renovated kitchen pairs crisp white cabinetry and brass hardware with richly veined stone counters and a coordinating backsplash, high-end stainless steel appliances, herringbone floors, and oversized windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Just outside, the secluded private patio is surrounded by wood fencing and greenery, with string lights overhead creating an inviting spot for outdoor dining or relaxing. Upstairs, the second floor is anchored by the large primary bedroom showcasing exposed brick, tall windows, original hardwood floors, and a walk-in closet with room to share. The sleek full bathroom features a wood vanity, brass fixtures, patterned tilework, and a glass-enclosed tub and shower. French doors open to the bright rear bedroom, ideal for a nursery or home office. The third floor follows a similar layout with two more spacious bedrooms, a second walk-in closet, and another renovated full bath. From here, a final staircase leads to the roof, where mesmerizing skyline views hint at the possibilities for a future deck. Completing the home is a finished basement perfect for a gym or media room, along with a third full bath, laundry area, utility space, and generous storage. In addition to everything inside, this central Hawthorne location offers the best of city living. South Street is nearby for restaurants, cafés, shops, and nightlife, while Midtown Village offers even more acclaimed dining and entertainment a few blocks north. Everyday essentials are also convenient, with Target, Sprouts Farmers Market, and additional shopping along Washington Ave, and Hawthorne, Seger, and Palumbo Parks provide plenty of options for fresh air and recreation. Public transit is readily accessible, and Jefferson and Pennsylvania Hospitals, Center City, I-76, I-95, and South Jersey are all within easy reach. Schedule your tour today!
