    What's special

    This recently renovated Bella Vista beauty really does have it all. Located in the highly sought after Meredith school catchment, steps from the Italian Market, just a few blocks down from South Street and Center City, yet situated in a quiet, safe, largely residential block with a few remaining businesses for your convenience. The four-story finished area features Brazilian cherry hardwood floors and marble tile throughout. The ground floor features a large living / dining space with dramatically high ceilings, gas fireplace, and powder room. In the back is a modern kitchen with custom cabinetry, stone countertops, all stainless steel high-end appliances including a 42" commercial range, exhaust hood, counter-depth stainless steel fridge, and dishwasher. The sink faces a generous window that overlooks the backyard area where you can watch your children play, or keep an eye on your garden. There is also a breakfast bar with second sink. Up the dramatic custom handrail stairs and connected via long hallways, lie the upper floors in a split-level formation. The front second floor has an open concept master suite with both a custom tiled spacious shower and tub. In the back, lies a second bedroom with its own private full bath and laundry closet, which can serve as an office, nursery, or guest room. The front third floor has a large bedroom with his-and-hers closets currently used as the kids room, connected to a hallway full bath. The back third floor opens up into quite a treat -- a media room with wet bar with marble countertops, lots of natural light, and city skyline views. The bonus fourth floor contains a private in-law, au-pair, or AirB&B sublet suite with its own full bath. There is also has a separate staircase to the pilot house with roof access and deck potential, to enjoy the spectacular city views and fireworks. Wired for cable and intercom in every room. The property is connected to the separately deeded, 763 S Mildred St (022264900) parcel, with permitted use as accessory parking to 766 S 8th Street -- it also makes a great backyard for playing, gardening, and dining al fresco. Finally, there is also a full-height, professionally waterproofed, clean basement with plenty of storage, potential for game room, sauna, workshop -- the possibilities are endless. The patented, 4-sump-pump, french drain, weephole, EZ-Breathe moisture control system comes with a transferable warranty. There is also an elevator shaft containing an original dumbwaiter, with connections from the 3rd floor media room down to the kitchen and basement, with elevator use potential.
