Description
This architecturally significant home, designed by noted architect Adele Santos, was thoughtfully crafted to enjoy breathtaking 33' wide city views while maximizing light, space, and functionality across three levels. Located on a charming tiny street, behind a modest, industrial-styled fae7;ade, the home offers an array of surprising expansive, light-filled live and workspaces. The first level includes a one- to two-car garage, a light- filled flexible studio/family room, and a separate in-law suite with private courtyard entry. The second floor features a dramatic open-concept living/dining/cooking multi-height space with natural light from windows and skylights. The second level includes a private ensuite bedroom and another private area for additional living space or bedroom with an adjoining bath. The expansive stairs to the third level incorporate an indoor garden space with platforms for trees, plants and seating, bringing nature indoors. The third floor includes a loft space overlooking the living area and a magnificent 16 x 32-foot terrace with spectacular views of the Philadelphia skyline. The property's unique design allows sunlight to cascade through the home, solving the typical issue of dark row homes in Philadelphia. Recent upgrades have been made to HVAC, replaced window wall/sliders leading to the deck, garage door, and roof. Located just a few minutes walk from Rittenhouse Square and Graduate Hospital, and only 15 minutes from Avenue of the Arts and the University of Pennsylvania, this home offers the perfect blend of modern living in a highly desirable, walkable location.
