    What's special

    Designed to maximize space and light, this home has had every detail carefully planned and executed. The open floor plan of the 3 bedroom, plus den, and 2 full bath home is enhanced by its strong connection to the very accessible outdoor spaces. It is located in one of hottest and fastest appreciating neighborhoods in Philadelphia, only a few blocks from Passyunk Square and the heart of the Italian Market, with so many shops and restaurants just a short walk away. The home was designed by Scott Larkin of Brawer & Hauptman, Architects with the intent of maximizing natural light into the house. Originally selected in part for its southern exposure, the home takes advantage of the sun's natural path. Partially frosted windows provide privacy from the street without light obstructing window treatments. Interior frosted glass doors, open riser stairs, ~ height walls and 9' ceilings allow the sun to shine into the full depth of the home. The 3 levels are tied together with exposed brick, American walnut, built in wall pockets and steel stairs. First floor living room, breakfast bar, kitchen and dining room flow together as one space. Access to the outside is provided through a glass garage door allowing the interior to blend into the side yard creating an additional exterior room. The 2 second floor bedrooms are connected by an open sitting area at the top of the stairs. The sitting room can also function as a flex bedroom with its integral fabric partition and recessed pocket. The second level also features a full room shower bathroom. The 3rd floor is dedicated to the master suite. Sleeping area, desk space, walk-in closet (with washer/dryer hook up), full room shower, soaking tub, vanity toiletry display, mini fridge pocket, and roof deck are all integrated into the design. Come see this unique and very special home.
