Built in an age when horses galloped on cobblestones, this carriage house, formerly Livery Stables, has maintained its distinct architecture with historically replicated details - barn doors, hardware and hinges and instead of carriages, a more modern approach, DEEDED PARKING in the adjacent parking lot (P12). Enter secure doorway into spectacular glass enclosed, 3 story atrium courtyard and find iron railings and handrails, a quarry slate courtyard and picturesque one of a kind venetian fountain. A rustic front door opens to huge open designed layout, hard to find wood burning fireplace, dramatic vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, sunlight streaming through numerous windows overlooking panoramic Fairmount views of church spires, colorful roof tops and winding streets. Kitchen consists of SS appliances, stone counter tops and handsome cabinetry. The huge medieval glass and wrought iron chandelier, (I swear I could hear music from Phantom of the Opera playing) occupies key position in spacious living/dining area - serving to embellish this fabulous entertainment space. Walk down hall to an ample bathroom, with newly glazed tub and vanity featuring tumbled marble floors and surrounds and then enter adjacent spacious bedroom with exposed brick, 2 sizeable closets and Samsung washer/ dryer laundry area. Take wrought iron spiral staircase with attractive wood treads to large 2nd bedroom or alternatively can be used as an office space. Hardwood honey colored shade throughout. Pets allowed in the building and Green Street Dog Park a couple blocks away. Shop at the super Whole Foods, Target, and meet all your shopping needs in the convenient Fairmount Avenue stores, not forgetting the farmers market every Thursday in the warm months. Just a short walk into Center City with easy access to public transportation and convenient to Temple, Drexel and Penn Universities. Close to biking and walking trails. LOW condo fees.
