A Bella Vista treasure. Renovated from top to bottom in 2014, this 3 bedroom, 2 full bath immaculate brick row home sits on a quiet, out-of-the-way street and is crowned with a spectacular roof deck. During the day, the 360 degree view from the roof deck is breath-taking! At night it is simply mesmerizing! Lived in by only one owner since the renovation, the property has been wonderfully maintained and constantly improved. 1st floor: Deep open layout allowing ample sitting area, dining area and cook's kitchen. The bright kitchen offers high end gas cooking with exhaust to outside, marble counters, stainless steel appliances including refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher and microwave, abundant cabinet space, subway tile backsplash and ceramic tile floor. The kitchen exits to a uniquely designed private rear patio which has a greenhouse roof. The current owners have used this space as a lush city garden. The rear garage door (remotely controlled) allows use as a secure parking spot if desired. The staircase in the house from 1st to 3rd floor is a floating staircase, beautiful in design. Custom-made risers are available to slide into the staircase between the 1st and 2nd floors should they be desired. (See photos.) 2nd floor: Front large bedroom with large, extra wide and extra deep closet and custom-crafted chest of drawers and work desk to one side; Full bath with shower over tub, large sink cabinet and stacked washer and dryer; Rear bedroom now used as office/guest room with sunny aspect looking over South Philadelphia and custom-crafted work desk on side wall. 3rd floor: Built new in 2014, a private and spacious main bedroom suite including large bathroom with oversized stall shower, a walk-in closet to make anyone's heart beat faster, and large bedroom with custom cabinetry and brand new door that exits to private balcony that makes sunset-watching easy. A circular stair takes one up to the roof deck with unparalleled views across the city. Well drained, secure walls, all roof furniture included in the sale. This house was made new for 21st century living with so many upgrades to boast about.
