1936 Reed Street is where charm meets modern. This home features the best details of an original rowhome while giving you the conveniences of new construction. Remodeled in about 2020, this home sits in the heart of the Point Breeze neighborhood. The area is fast appreciating, always growing, surrounded by tons of new development, businesses, and a quick Center City commute, so you can’t go wrong. The sellers have added an ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING port to the front of the home for easy streetside use! Walk into an open concept living, dining, and kitchen on the first floor with an entire wall of exposed brick adding charm all the way up to the primary floor. The first floor gets great light which pours in over solid hardwood flooring throughout. The kitchen features all stainless steel appliances, white quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, a vented microwave hood over the gas range, and plenty of dining space! The half bathroom is tucked away behind the kitchen next to a tiled mudroom area and coat closet creating a well-thought-out floor plan. The back of the home has a large fenced-in patio with a breezeway along the side of the home, allowing an extra wall of windows for light. The second floor consists of two spacious bedrooms with a full bathroom and upper floor laundry in the middle of the hallway. Each bedroom has a full closet with sliding doors. The first full bathroom has a dual sink floating vanity with lots of storage and a sleek shower highlighting floor-to-ceiling tile. The primary suite consists of the entire third floor with a full bathroom and bedroom. The main bedroom has city views and ultra-high 10 ft+ ceilings. The primary bathroom features a dual sink vanity and huge shower with modern floor-to-ceiling tile and a glass door. The small touches are what really make this home feel grand. The rooftop deck is absolutely everything you have been waiting for! Being situated off 20th street, you have total panoramic unobstructed views of the city! The roof deck features conveniences like a gas line for an outdoor grill and a water line for your rooftop garden! Additional features include tax abatement, sump pump, dual HVAC systems, programmable nest thermostats, alarm system, keyless entry, and second-floor roof warranty. This home is conveniently located minutes from RITTENHOUSE and CENTER CITY, with close proximity to South Street/Greys Ferry bridges for a quick commute to PENNOVATION, U-CITY, CHOP, DREXEL, U-PENN. The walk score is 88 -close to several local hotspots like Two Eagles Cafe, American Sardine Bar, OCF Coffee House, Tuck Barre & Yoga, On Point Bistro, Chicks, Sidecar, and Dock Street Brewery.

* * * 10-YEAR TAX ABATEMENT APP PENDING * * * When your rooftop deck has the best unobstructed views of the city skyline, the value and memorable experiences gained are priceless. Unlike the plainness of some new construction homes, this careful design charms you with an exposed two-story brick wall, high ceilings on every floor and a layout that maximizes each one of its parts. Don't settle for a partial, or compromised, skyline view. This unique home has a clear view of center city without obstruction from its own staircase, the neighbors' roofs, or other structures or trees. In terms of layout, do you wonder why some homes have a powder room right next to the kitchen or dining area? Well, the designers of this home made sure to tuck the main floor's powder room away in a tiled mud area at the back of the house, separate from the main living space. On the second floor, a unique side hallway design draws in natural light and gives the floor's two bedrooms ultimate privacy. The oversized primary suite is located on the third floor with ceilings over 10-ft high and a generous full bath. In homes with rooftop decks, one known challenge is that staircases can be very destructive to the rooftop's size and views. This home solves for this with a custom interior spiral stair that minimizes the footprint on the rooftop, allowing you to enjoy all of the beauty that the city skies have to offer. Rest assured that the rooftop deck has both water and gas lines ready for your usage! Because the original two-story home has been completely redone, with the addition of a third floor, 1936 Reed brings the best combination of a new home with a tested solid build. A few critical features that some notice, but everyone appreciates, are things like the range hood being vented to the outside, a basement with full-height ceilings and the ultimate protection with a French drain and sump pump. Needless to say, the wide and deep lot dimensions are key to the generosity of this home's floor plans, rooms, and its ability to have critical features like a main-floor powder room located in the rear. Like other quality construction, this home has two HVAC units for efficient cooling and heating all year round. Enjoy the unobstructed city skyline views, charm of exposed brick, and a layout like no other.
