305 Gilham St

Lawndale, Philadelphia, PA 19111

What a stunner! From the outside, this handsome townhouse is quite stately and timeless with its classic red brick and black trimmings, while the interior is surprisingly modern and functional. You have the best of both worlds. As soon as you enter you will see quality craftsmanship in every detail. The living room opens into a wide bright space with high ceilings, tall windows, and cool toned hardwood floors. Next, walk into the beautiful kitchen, featuring low maintenance quartz countertops and modern gray cabinets. The numerous cabinets, drawers, and long rows of reclaimed wood shelving will make sure that there is a place for everything in your bustling kitchen. And whoa... who can miss the 11ft+ island, serving as the epicenter of activity in your new home. Cook, eat, work from home, study...whatever!...this island can fit everyone and their needs. Come upstairs and see how the brand new, custom stained hardwood flooring continues onto the 2nd floor, 3rd floor and staircases to provide a cohesion in color and style. At first glance the 2nd floor features 3 spacious bedrooms with large closets, and a hallway bathroom. But look more carefully to appreciate the special features. The double vanity was built by the Amish, purchased from Lancaster, refinished with stain, and fitted with quartz countertops to provide character and contrast to the modern design. The 3rd floor belongs entirely to the master bedroom, which includes a walk-in closet and a show-stopper of a bathroom. Linger in the master bathroom a little longer to appreciate the double vanity, custom built with reclaimed wood and the enormous double shower with rain showerheads, black hardware, and marble accents (glass panels are being installed by owner). In addition, if your family is looking for that extra flex space, the beautifully tiled basement is perfect with expansive space, an efficient half bath and laundry, and plenty of storage. Finally, one of the best and rare perks of all is the private driveway, complete with a brand new remote controlled gate. Other valuable upgrades include such as: new recessed lighting throughout, new electrical wiring, new high efficiency HVAC, all new plumbing (with all 4 permits approved in final inspections by the city), new windows, new doors, and new roof. With such unique design and exquisite craftsmanship, this gem stands out from all the cookie cutter homes. Listing agent is related to seller.
