Property Description
Welcome to this large four bedroom Kensington rowhome that blends historic charm with artistic touches. As you approach the home, you’ll be greeted by its classic brick façade, adorned with intricate custom brick work. Step through the tiled vestibule into the vast living room and parlour area. Admire the original hardwood floors, soapstone fireplace, and classic built-ins that tell the story of a bygone era. The custom half wall is adorned with an art installation, which could be negotiated into the home purchase. The formal dining room features original plaster walls that have been painted with a custom paint wash to protect drawings, signatures, and notes of a long-ago resident or builder. The classic tin wainscoting and crown molding sets the stage for memorable meals with family and friends. Sunlight floods the eat-in kitchen floods and features warm hardwood floors, a vintage sink and metal cabinet that has been updated with a matte finish, and access to the breezeway and the incredible garden. There is also a full bath on the first floor.
Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms and two smaller bedrooms, each with its own unique character. The primary bedroom is in the rear of the property and offers a peaceful sanctuary with a vintage built-in closet and several large windows that provides a peaceful view of the garden. The additional bedrooms are perfect for family members, guests, and even a home office. The bright hall bathroom has classic black-and-white floor tiles and a vintage clawfoot tub, ideal for a relaxing soak.
The garden is an artist’s masterpiece and a verdant oasis all in one, with custom brickwork throughout the vast space, a trickling fountain, mature hedges and bushes (including a massive hibiscus bush with the most beautiful flowers), raised beds filled with herbs, bright flowers, and healthy vegetables, and a large patio for entertaining outside. It is truly a living work of art. Towards the back, there is private secure parking for at least two cars, possibly more.
This timeless, unique gem of a property is the perfect home for the buyer who appreciates art, character, and history. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia’s history. Schedule your visit today!
