Finally, the home you have been waiting for is here. Come see this stylish and highly functional home just a block from East Passyunk Avenue, one block south of The Fountain, in the heart of the neighborhood. Step up to this historic row home, refaced in mid-century brick and augmented by a 1950s front door and aluminum porch railing. Entering through the front door lands you in a tastefully tiled foyer offering privacy and separation from the spacious living area. The foyer wall features a beautiful transom window, while the reverse side provides the perfect place for your flat screen, art, or projections. Beyond the foyer, the space opens into the uninterrupted flow of the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Elegant chevron-pattern oak flooring runs through the living and dining rooms. The living space offers plenty of room for lounging and viewing, while the dining room is gracious enough to host dinner parties for family and friends. The kitchen is dreamy. Its U-shaped layout offers high functionality and features gray Shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, west-facing natural light, and generous quartz counter space for casual meals. The full-light door to the patio is recessed off the dining area and brings even more western light into the first floor. The large patio is waiting for your personal touches. A lovely young tree rises from a large wooden planter surrounded by masonry walls, with plenty of space for entertaining, dining, grilling, and play. Once back inside, you will notice that from every direction, the first floor is highlighted by the mid-century steel-and-brass stair railing. Downstairs, you will find a highly functional finished basement. The basement offers neutral-toned tile floors, a full bath for guests or post-workout showers, and a separate laundry area featuring an early 20th-century porcelain utility sink. The second floor originally offered three bedrooms, including a rear bedroom with great natural light and a primary front bedroom with high ceilings, solid oak flooring, and a wall of built-in closets. The middle bedroom was closed off from the hallway and opened to the primary front bedroom to provide additional closet space as well as a secluded home office. New owners can use the space as currently designed or return it to its original configuration. The bathroom was redesigned to accommodate a large single vanity and a frameless glass shower. For location, style, functionality, and affordability, 1702 S 11th checks all the boxes on your home search list. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by.
