The main level opens to a bright and inviting space and features gorgeous red oak hardwood floors that run throughout the home. The stunning eat-in kitchen, a chef's delight, was masterfully designed by (re)work Architecture & Design. It features an abundance of high-end cabinetry, premium countertops, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, a built-in banquette with integrated storage, a breakfast bar, and a timeless herringbone backsplash. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the private backyard/patio with built-in garden planters, perfect for al fresco dining and a quiet morning coffee. A convenient powder room rounds out the first floor.

Your private outdoor space continues with a 3rd-floor balcony and your very own roof deck, your private perch above the city, boasting breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Columbus Square greenery and Center City skyline. The basement offers a versatile 512 sq ft space, finished with durable and attractive tile flooring, ideal for a recreation room, home gym, or media center. There is also an accessible utility room with a sump pump, plumbers sink, and spacious crawl space storage. This home is as smart as it is beautiful.

Situated in one of Philadelphias most celebrated neighborhoods, your front door is just steps from one of the citys most desirable elementary schools with a renowned music program, as well as a dog park, playgrounds, and community events at Columbus Square. You are moments away from East Passyunk Avenue's "Restaurant Row," home to award-winning dining, charming cafes, independent boutiques, and the famous Italian Market.
