Classic Philadelphia townhouse on a very special block of the Melrose section of South Philly; tree-lined and lightly traveled, tucked away but with easy access to everything that makes this neighborhood fabulous. Enter via the preserved historic brick facade. Press on the gentle-fade dimmer switches and enjoy soft lighting to supplement diffuse natural light. A half-bath is tucked off to one side. The generous living space opens to the kitchen. Let engineered wood floors lead you to this excellent cooking space with modern wood and white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a marble backsplash, range hood, stainless appliance suite, and a sizable central island. An eat-in dining area connects to an outdoor patio, perfect for a breath of fresh air, grilling, or your container garden. At the top of the stairs, you'll find three sizeable bedrooms, each with ceiling fans for superb airflow to supplement the Dual-zoned HVAC system. A stylish hall bath offers an open glass shower door, spacious soaking tub, and dual vanity. For convenience, this space holds a stackable, full-size washer and dryer. Should you need extra storage, look no further than the cellar. This ultra-dry space is ideal for household extras and contains the home's mechanical systems. Just steps away from amazing East Passyunk cafes and restaurants - Cafe y Chocolate, Second District Brewing, Stina Pizzeria - and quintessential old-world food stops, such as Cacia's or Potito's Bakeries and L'Angolo, one of South Philadelphia's best Italian BYOB restaurants. Enjoy The Stephen Girard Park, a lovely renovated green space with Girard's 18th-century estate, Gentilhommerie. Just blocks from the stadiums, Broad Street Line, and Septa stops. Easy access to I-95, I-76, and the Philadelphia International Airport. Come see this beautiful home and be a part of one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in the city!
