Located on “arguably the prettiest street in the entire Northeast [United States]” (Huffington Post) , 1737 Addison Street is a dream location for your future dream home. Imagine returning home to a quiet tree lined street that is lit by white holiday lights year round, and passing one of countless engagement proposals or family photos. This home is a mix of traditional character, including original 1850’s pumpkin pine flooring, exposed brick, and two wood burning fireplaces, as well as modern amenities including a brand new kitchen with Bosch 800 Series appliances with an attached brand new composite deck, brand new tankless water heater, and kitchenette! It also includes a parking spot in the rear! All of this and only two blocks from Rittenhouse Square, and surrounded by amazing restaurants. This 3 bed 2.5 bath home has been lovingly renovated by the current owners who are a general contractor and realtor. The first floor is perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests, and features a tiled vestibule, living/entertaining space with a brand new kitchenette, walk in closet, and full bath. It’s a large parlor space that easily accommodates a 1929 Steinway grand piano (also available separately). Curved steel stairs take out past two floor to ceiling windows into the finished basement, which features a sitting room/office with one of the two wood burning fireplaces, and French pocket doors that conceal a large bedroom and half bath. Or head upstairs to the second floor, which is home to the casual living/dining area, the second fireplace, built in cabinetry, and a brand new kitchen with quartzite counters, Bosch appliances, a custom dolomite marble range hood, and a pantry/appliance garage that is way nicer than any pantry deserves to be! Go through the double french doors to the brand new second floor deck (over your private parking!) for quiet outdoor dining or drinks. The top floor includes the third bedroom, updated primary bath, new washer and dryer with a quartzite laundry area, and a large vaulted ceiling primary bedroom featuring large windows and two skylights! The south facing windows allow so much sun and look out at beautiful trees (and lights!). These homes don't come around often and always go fast!
