Here, in South Philly's East Passyunk neighborhood, the Old World meets the new. You'll be hard pressed to find another home that melds the nostalgia of yesteryear so seamlessly with the modern conveniences of today! This house has been lovingly and thoughtfully updated by its current owners to retain its original warmth and character. Its handsome brick facade and arched doorway lead into a protected vestibule with stately front door that lets you know immediately that you've found something special. Enter into the spacious living area and the first thing you'll notice is the gleaming hardwood which graces the floors throughout the home. Accented by the original wooden stair banisters the living area blends effortlessly with the formal dining area. Here you'll also find a half bath, a rare convenience in a home of this vintage. Wander further and you enter the heart of the home, an inviting eat-in kitchen with space for Sunday dinners, abundant espresso wood cabinetry and an expanse of counter space. The kitchen has been graciously updated with tile counters, glass backsplash and SS appliances. There are also sliding glass doors which let in loads of natural light while also providing easy access to the recently redone back yard with patterned concrete patio and wooden privacy fence. Head down the open staircase to the basement level and you're in for a treat. The basement is fully finished with sleek engineered hardwood floors, recessed lighting and a neutral gray and white palette. Currently used as a family/playroom, this level is multi-functional and could also serve as a work out area, home office or barroom/entertaining space, you decide. Behind folding doors, there's a well proportioned, bright laundry room with plenty of storage and a utility closet. The basement also has two other large storage closets and a workbench for your home improvement projects. Head up to the 2nd floor and the sense of nostalgia continues with original wooden crown moldings, baseboards and door frames. The vintage style hall bath has been impeccably updated with new tile and sparkling fixtures. On this level, there are also 3 large, charming bedrooms with excellent closet space, all painted in soothing tones. Top this off with recently installed AC split systems, a brand new furnace and ceiling fans in every room and you have the perfect abode! This vintage inspired, yet contemporary home is conveniently located to public transportation, the sports complex and is walk-able to the world class restaurants and shopping on East Passyunk and the historic Italian Market. See it today! This one won't last! SHOWINGS START AT 3PM ON FRIDAY, MAY 15TH.
