This trinity sits in the charming heart of Washington Square West, down a warren of homey streets culminating in a secluded cul-de-sac. You’ll access 1009 Addison from Waverly Street, turning down Alder to find this magically tucked away block. Addison doesn’t go through to 10th or 11th on this block, creating a clean and quiet space with no traffic. On the northeast end of this intimate street, you’ll spot the freshly painted facade. Enter into the kitchen/dining space, with a full appliance suite and breakfast bar. A back door leads to a large patio space, intimately tucked between other houses. Enjoy an evening of outdoor lounging, dinner in the garden, or a glass of wine under the shaded sunset in this perfect little oasis. Downstairs, the living room offers radiant heated flooring, a fireplace, and mini-bar with wine fridge. A hatch to the floor above supplements the staircase for ease of moving furniture. The second level holds the first of two bedrooms, with closet storage and brick wall relief. The primary bath on this level features a jetted tub with eclectic glass tile surround and stylish bowl sink. On your way to the third level, notice the hall door opening to a balconette overlooking the rear patio. This is one of two, the second being found in the primary suite one level up. In the primary suite, get a breath of fresh air from the balconette as you enjoy this open bed space with original pine floors, quaint 19th century hearth, two closets, and en-suite half bath. Steps away from your in-town enclave, you’ll find green space at Seger Park, enchantment at South Street’s Magic Gardens, and delights at local spots such as Good Karma, Pinefish, Bahn Mi & Bottles, and Dottie’s Donuts. Just a few blocks from Washington Square, Independence Squares, and Pennsylvania Hospital. Convenient to Whole Foods Market on South Street, the Delaware River waterfront, historic sites, and downtown life. Enjoy quiet life in the middle of bustling downtown at 1009 Addison.
