Stop searching for that Center City house of your dreams, because this is it. Located on a quiet street in the prestigious Rittenhouse Square neighborhood, the first thing you should know is that there are two assigned and deeded off street parking spots accessible through a private driveway behind this four level twenty one hundred square foot, twenty seven year old townhouse, being sold by the original owner. After parking at your door, you will leave your car and enter the walled garden/patio, with red brick walls and floor. This area is secluded and provides a touch of suburbia to downtown living. You can enter the house by going down the wrought iron spiral staircase several steps to enter the ground floor or climb up and enter into the living room. The ground floor has red Mexican Terracotta floor tile through out. All the doors and wood trim are stained and finished through out. First comes a large 11 x 16 dining area with a gas fireplace. Adjoining is a 10 x 12 gourmet kitchen with Corian counters, a side by side refrigerator/freezer with ice and water dispenser, and two island/counters. One is for preparing food with a wooden butcher block chopping top, the other for cooking, with an electric JenAir cook top stove. Also featured are solid wood cabinets, a four burner gas stove with oven, a microwave/convection oven, a second microwave oven, dishwasher, trash compactor, garbage disposal, hanging pot and pan rack, and recessed lighting. The refrigerator and gas stove are two years old. A laundry room and half bathroom, featuring a granite sink with vanity, complete the ground floor. The steps are carpeted through out, while the rest of the house has hard wood floors. The first floor has a living room in the rear and a study/den/family room in the front.
The living room is 16 x 17 and features a wood burning fireplace, track lighting, tall floor to ceiling windows, and a mirrored wall. It can also be accessed from the front door and 7 x 14 foyer. The second room is 16 x 11 and has recessed lighting and a mirrored wall. The second floor has an 17 x 14 bedroom and a 10 x 17 sitting/study/family room with built in shelves. There is also a dry bar with a small refrigerator, and a full hallway bathroom with granite sink with vanity, ceramic tiled floor, and a tub with closure. The third floor has two additional 12 x 14 bedrooms and a full bath as well. The front bedroom provides a great view of the downtown skyline. Most of the home has been freshly painted, and the roof is only one year old. The gas furnace is five years old; the air conditioner is only six. Now that youve found your dream house, lets tell about the area. You will be centrally located and poised to experience Center City living. Downtown Philadelphia was recently described in a New York Times article as the Sixth Borough of New York. You can have the entire ambiance of Manhattan without the crime and expense, and still be only two hours away, which is the amount of commute time it takes to travel to work for many New Yorkers. Amtrak trains are a five minute bus ride away at the 30th Street Station. The Schuylkill Expressway and I-95 are close by as well, making Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware Counties easily accessible. Your choice of three bridges into New Jersey are with-in ten minutes. The Avenue of the Arts, The Art Museum, Rittenhouse Square, restaurants, theatres, schools, hospitals, houses of worship, and many cultural centers are a short walk away.
