A sunlit sanctuary with skyline views, rare city conveniences, and timeless charm awaits on this idyllic tree-lined block.

With three spacious bedrooms with ample storage plus a versatile fourth room—currently styled as a cozy rustic den complete with a gas fireplace, Murphy bed, and private balcony—you’ll find flexibility to suit every lifestyle need. Light pours into the home’s heart: a sun-drenched dining room with charming built-in seating that doubles as hidden storage. The gorgeous, updated kitchen not only anchors the main level but features top of the line Frigidaire (induction cooktop and convection oven) and Bosch appliances. The kitchen opens beautifully into the private, sunny backyard—perfect for effortless indoor-outdoor living, grilling with friends, or tending to your own city garden. Practicality pairs beautifully with charm thanks to a two-car driveway with automatic rollgate—a rare city luxury. The home offers 2.5 baths, including a convenient powder room on the main living level, a hall bath on the second floor, and a fully renovated spa-like retreat with a dual vanity, expansive walk-in shower. Laundry is also found on the primary bedroom level. Upstairs, a stunning roof deck reveals sweeping panoramic views of the city skyline, your own private perch above it all. Thoughtful details abound—bedroom built-ins for added charm and function, a partially finished basement ideal as a children’s study and play space, newly installed hardwood stairs, and abundant natural light in every corner of the home. And outside your door? A walkable neighborhood with tree-lined streets, vibrant local shops like Ultimo Coffee, The Sidecar Bar, Dock Street Brewery, Loco Pez and all of Rittenhouse and Fitler Square just a short walk north. Don't forget about convenient access to the Schuylkill River Trail. The pulse of the City is at your fingertips here. This home offers more than just rooms; it offers spaces that inspire, soothe, and adapt—making every day feel like the perfect balance of city energy and personal retreat.
