304 Cypress St

Philadelphie, PA 19106

Welcome to this charming, historically certified Society Hill home on the sunny south side of a quiet, tree lined street steps from Three Bears Park and the Physick House gardens. Cypress St is a unique, low density block in a prime location, with homes that feature more light than typical rowhouses - a truly unbeatable curb appeal. 304 Cypress is a gem at just the right size in a sought after neighborhood, boasting 3 bedrooms and a large den, 2.5 baths, and a well-balanced layout with great outdoor space, calming natural light, and a full basement. Historic accents like pine floors with inlaid design and crown moldings add to the home's charm. Admire the authentic brick exterior with handsome shutters as you walk up the marble steps into the vestibule. The home's width allows for a convenient first floor powder room and plenty of room for an open living/dining room which will accommodate a full table with 6-8 chairs. Past the dining area is a sunny, inspiring updated kitchen with large, south facing windows and a gas range, stainless appliances, granite counters, and ample storage. Kitchen overlooks the lovely bricked yard perfect for outdoor grilling or a gathering with neighbors, with tucked away storage for receptacles out of sight. Stairs lead to the beautifully lit second floor with lovely high ceilings featuring an open den, large bedroom with closet currently used as a home office, an updated full bath, and two hall closets. Walk up to the top floor and find historic, wide-plank wood floors on a level featuring the main bedroom with 2 closets, a third bedroom, and a second full bath. Basement is spacious, with ample shelf space, 1000+ bottle wine cellar, enclosed mechanicals, and laundry area. There is a bonus room in the basement currently used as storage, with a built in wood desk and potential for a home office. The home is in the prestigious McCall school catchment and just two blocks to St Peter's School. Charming Society Hill is an oasis in the city, a historical residential area with sprinkles of what you need (Whole Foods, ACME, retail, restaurants, and many cute spots like cafes, galleries, and movie theaters), both exceedingly walkable (Penn's Landing, Spruce Harbor Park, etc.) and with easy access to highways and bridges for a quick getaway. Seller is offering 1 year pre-paid parking at a local garage with an acceptable offer.
