1103 S Wilton St

Philadelphia, PA 19143

Featuring a rare blend of original woodwork, custom ironwork and mechanical updates 1103 S Wilton is going to charm you into packing your bags and moving right in. The front yard is filled with perennials that bloom spring to fall, and shaded by a lovely dogwood tree. The spacious front porch is an inviting spot for drinking a coffee with a friend no matter the weather. Enter the breezeway and find both original tile and woodwork. In the living room is a built-in window seat where you can sit down and take in all of the natural light pouring in through the new windows, and take note of the custom coat rack and bike racks. The original hardwood floors follow into the dining area where you will find another welcome surprise - a fully functioning woodstove begging you to enjoy cozy winter evenings with it?s added warmth! At the back of the house is a spacious kitchen, large enough to be dubbed ?eat in,? with plenty of room for a table and chairs. The kitchen also features a butcher block countertop next to the fridge, with plenty of space underneath to add a dishwasher if you desire. A custom pot rack hangs above the sink that the seller is willing to leave behind if the new owners wish to keep it! A large window and backdoor access overlook the backyard, which features two large planters if you dream of gardening, with plenty of space left over for entertaining. The outdoor area also has a bamboo fence through a portion and the natural privacy of an ivy wall along the back end. Enter the basement through the house or the backyard to find high ceilings and new glass block windows. The basement is large enough for storage, a home gym, or work area, and includes a washer, dryer, utility sink, toilet, and plumbed-in dehumidifier. On the 2nd floor you will find 4 bedrooms; the large front and back rooms feature bay windows and built-in storage. The two mid-sized middle rooms - unique in shape and angles - both have closets. The full bath is located on this floor and features the original subway tiles, a clawfoot tub, and newer tiles on the floor that tie in perfectly. A custom wood vanity with concrete counter and custom iron accessories complete the room. Filled with thoughtful upgrades and intricate painting detail, this house is poised to charm. The house also features new mechanical systems as well: brand new 200 amp service and wiring throughout, a 4-zone high-efficiency heat system (which includes a zone for the basement). Also, most of the essential plumbing has been replaced. Modern energy-efficient windows have been added throughout the current owner's occupancy. This home is truly a rare West Philadelphia treasure, loved and well maintained by the current owner- don?t wait to make it your own!
