This Jackson-catchment charmer pairs gorgeous details with modern comforts in the heart of East Passyunk. Shaded by a tall oak is the classic brick facade, with custom window-boxes and new energy-efficient windows. Enter the tiled vestibule & look up -- the original hand-painted light fixture glows, then a stained glass transom and beveled door welcome you to a large open living and dining area with soaring ceilings, original wood floors, built-in bookcase, charming radiator covers and woodwork, and mid-century-inspired ceiling fan and chandelier. Beyond original french doors with mirrored push-plates, you'll find the custom kitchen, which the current owners lovingly crafted to match the original character of the home. The corner cabinet is original to the house, and the kitchen was built around it, utilizing period-era light fixtures and reclaimed barnwood countertops from Lancaster County. This is a cook's kitchen, with ample counter and cabinet space, a deep undermount sink and pull-down Kohler faucet, and brand-new five-burner gas convection range, with a pull-out drawer vent-hood above. Beyond the kitchen is the laundry room, with full-size refrigerator, farmhouse sink, porcelain tile floor, and front-loading washer/dryer under a barnwood countertop. Delicate clothes? Press the "handwash" setting on the washer, then take them outside to hang dry in the private backyard where you can hang a laundry line beside the raised-bed garden. Next spring, you'll be greeted by lilacs, sunset-orange roses, and quarts of blackberries from your private backyard oasis. Peek in the corner of the garden for a healthy fishpond, with several fish who overwinter in the pond and need no care or feeding (but eat mosquitoes for you in the summer)! Upstairs, past the original light-up newel post, find three good-sized bedrooms, all with original hardwood floors, fresh paint, and high ceilings. The master bedroom with ceiling fan comfortably holds a king-size bed and sitting area, and shares a door to the middle bedroom -- ideal for a nursery, child's room, or office. The large, bright back bedroom (currently used as an office) also has a ceiling fan, two large sunny windows, and built-in shelving. In the updated bathroom, find marble mosaic floors, subway tile shower surround, deep soaking tub, and green art-deco style fixtures. A full basement with ample storage, utility sink, and extra toilet completes this home. South-facing windows are a plant-lover's dream, and everywhere you look there are cut-glass doorknobs, original fixtures, and charm. Outside, you're steps from everything East Passyunk has to offer. Don't wait! Come fall in love with your new home.
