The highlight of the third floor is the private deck, constructed with durable Trex deck boards, treated wood, and iron railings—perfect for relaxing outdoors. Other features include locally crafted metal stair railings, reversible ceiling fans throughout most living spaces for better energy efficiency, recessed lighting, and bamboo flooring in the living areas and bedrooms. The basement is partially finished, subdivided into two areas with drywall. The drywalled section serves as a space with abundant storage for tools and extra supplies while the other unfinished section includes all mechanicals. The home was recently refreshed with new paint and a granulated rubber roof was installed last year. It was previously featured in The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Home Haven section, highlighting the owners’ design choices. Located in a fantastic neighborhood and area, this home is less than a block from Dream World Bakes and within easy walking distance to Forîn, Philadelphia Brewing, Picnic, Little Walter’s, and various incredible restaurants, shops, and more.
