This light-flooded home is full of quintessential South Philly charm and has Pinterest-worthy updates and customizations, as well as a much-coveted feature--a private roof deck. The charm begins in the first floor's open living and dining room, which has original hardwood floors with inlay, great detail in the staircase's original woodwork, original multi-paned glass door leading to the basement and a sweet storage closet, plus a decorative arch leading to the kitchen. Full of industrial design elements, the kitchen is both super-stylish and super-functional; features include a stainless steel backsplash, six-burner stainless steel range, stainless steel Samsung French door fridge, a great combo of open and closed storage, and a custom baker's rack. On the second floor is the master bedroom with an entire wall of custom built-ins, a second bedroom that's big enough for a twin bed (or could be used as a fab dressing room) and hall bathroom with penny-tile floor and shower surround and an oversized square basin sink. On the third floor are two more sunny bedrooms, each with its own custom built-ins. The tour doesn't end here: Climb the ladder to the awesome roof deck, with ample room for a grill, furniture and a container garden, if you're so inclined (check out the seller's blog plantsondeck[dot]com to get an idea of the potential there). On a great Pennsport street with a park and playground a block away, convenient to Washington Ave shopping and the ever-growing number of neighborhood businesses: Moonshine, the Industry, Caffe Valentino, Grindcore House Coffee and Urban Jungle, to get the list started.
