Description

At the very center of Center City, our home is a beautiful blend of old and new: a historic federal townhouse that has been recently gut-renovated. It is a light-filled academic/artist paradise just steps away from the best coffee shops, parks, restaurants, and nightlife in Philadelphia. The house is a four story townhome with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. Enter into the airy living room which looks onto Pine Street, full of bookshelves, plants, and comfy couches for cozy evenings in, or hosting friends. Double-glazed windows ensure peace and quiet inside the house. The room flows into a dining room with a large dining table (perfect for entertaining), and a huge, state-of-the-art kitchen with six-burner Viking range, large refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and Breville espresso machine. The kitchen looks out onto a private courtyard and rose garden, which you can easily use for entertaining, or to sit in peace with your morning coffee or evening wine. The ground floor also has a convenient half bathroom/powder room. Up one floor is a light-filled shared home office with two large, adjustable standing desks facing each other, both with double external monitors attached. This office also has a full bathroom attached to it. Washer/dryer and linen closet are also on this floor, as is the guest bedroom, which overlooks the back rose courtyard, and has a large closet and full bathroom attached to it. There is a desk set up in the guest room as well. Up one more flight is the primary bedroom suite. This light-filled suite has a high vaulted ceiling with a skylight, a beautiful walk-in closet with ample hanging and storage space, and a stunning master bathroom with a luxurious Victoria and Albert soaking tub and walk-in rain shower. There is also a Peloton bike on this floor for your use. And up one final floor is yet another cozy office and lounge space. A large mahogany desk, and a comfortable daybed are up here. In the finished basement is a wrap-around couch which pulls out into a bed to make yet another guest room, and there is a huge flat screen TV. Additionally, there is a second fridge in the basement, should you need more food storage. This home is a rare combination of size, comfort, and location, location, location. In every season, Pine Street is abuzz. We are a sixty second walk away from some of the best coffee shops, bakeries, delis, boutique clothing stores, nail salons, etc. Gyms and pools are a five minute walk away. And the house is equidistant (about 15 min walk) from both of Philadelphia's famous parks, Rittenhouse Square and Washington Square, and all the dining and nightlife that comes with them. An oasis of calm in the heart of this vibrant city.
