This beautiful home brilliantly blends old and new! Behind its handsome brick and molded tin facade are beautiful contemporary interiors, completed in 2009. The spacious entry hall features a striking fabricated steel staircase and railings, separate home office/den (or third bedroom), full hall bathroom, convenient coat closet, and guest room with a private patio. Direct staircase access to the basement with a dry sauna, makes an ideal setup to create that in-home exercise room, or simply use it as dry storage. A laundry center with a washer and dryer is tucked away deeper in the room. The staircase winds up to an expansive window seat, open concept dining area, and living room with gas-lit fireplace and large bay window, providing a spacious feel that is both tranquil and modern. Continuing up to the third floor is the primary bedroom floor offering an abundance of natural light through the large windows, long urban views, a spectacular bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower, deep soaking tub, and separate commode. The staircase continues up to a sundrenched pilothouse leading out to a private rooftop deck/gardens offering amazing panoramic city views that beckon taking in the sunset at the end of the day. In the dark days of winter, the pilothouse is an ideal spot to enjoy the sun while cozying up with a book. The restaurants within walking distance to this location are some of Center City's best! With a walk score of 99, you'll find owning a car is more of a hobby than a habit. Whole Foods is a brief 3 block walk, but you'll be tempted to spend your weekend mornings strolling the specialty stores along with south 9th Street's famed Italian Market.
