Remarks
| Comments: Nestled in the ridgeline of one of Philadelphia’s most unique neighborhoods is a truly special home. A four-bedroom, two-bath Victorian single, this gem was lovingly restored by an award-winning architect and a professional preservationist. Inside and out, the home truly epitomizes comfort, style, and convenience. It features enchanting gardens, multiple covered porches, a rare four-car driveway, and numerous recent upgrades. Perfectly centered on three generously sized lots, you'll have ample space to enjoy the fresh air and entertain both friends and family. As you approach, note the classic Wissahickon schist exterior, a hallmark of the area. The covered front porch invites you to savor the little moments, whether that is enjoying a morning coffee or a breathtaking sunset. Step inside through the Pennsylvania slate entry foyer and you'll be instantly captivated by the warmth of this lovely home, the entirety of which is beautifully styled with original millwork. The cozy living room boasts floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving, combining style and storage. You will find true relaxation in this serene and bright space. The gracious dining room greets you with abundant southwestern exposure and plenty of entertaining space. Natural light bathes every room through the historically-appropriate light wood replacement windows which combine a charming period look with the efficiency of advanced living. The kitchen is a true design masterpiece, featuring a walnut island, custom cabinetry, handcrafted tile, an original farmhouse sink, Bucks County soapstone countertops, and oak flooring. From the kitchen and dining room, step out onto the charming covered side porch, where you can enjoy the expansive garden views. The outdoors features a historic wrought-iron front fence and mature native plantings, creating a peaceful oasis. The Yew tree in the rear provides privacy, protection and shade. On the second level, you'll find 3 generously sized bedrooms which have been transformed into an elegant primary suite. The layout currently includes a light-filled bedroom, a walk-in dressing room, and a private study. The suite offers a beautiful full bathroom with an oversized clawfoot tub, Grohe faucets, Kohler fixtures, and classic Victorian wainscoting. The second-floor hallway proudly displays the original deed for the property, a rare find in a historic 1865 home. On the third floor, two more bedrooms with abundant closet space await. The floor also includes a full bathroom featuring a Speakman shower head and double sinks, as well as another generous closet. From the rear windows, you can catch sight of the iconic Center City skyline. The lower level is complete with a washer, dryer, and a convenient half bath. The cellar is a great flex space with exterior access and natural light, a perfect retreat for your creative endeavors. Newly added bulkhead doors provide the ultimate peace of mind, ensuring ease, safety, and security. One of the most unique aspects of this triple lot property is the four-car private driveway, a true luxury in the vibrant historic Roxborough/Manayunk area. Situated just moments away from local shops, great restaurants, and the foot trails of the gorgeous Wissahickon Valley, this home offers a sweet blend of urban and natural living. The spacious gardens leave plenty of room for growth and play. Easy access to Center City Philadelphia awaits, whether you prefer the nearby public transportation options or a short scenic drive by the river. Come make this incredible home yours! |
