933 E Passyunk Ave

Philadelphia, PA 19147

This is your opportunity to become the next steward of 933 E. Passyunk Avenue; a extra wide, sophisticated urban oasis, rich in history and good design, updated to a modern standard of relaxed luxury living. Situated on the cusp of Bella Vista and Queen Village, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, *2800+ square-foot (including finished basement) townhouse sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in the middle of it all ? just a short walk from the restaurants of East Passyunk Avenue (7 minutes), the heart of the Italian Market (3 minutes), Headhouse Market (15 minutes), and Washington Square (7 minutes), offering easy access to so many of Philly?s best restaurants like Kalaya, Fiore Fine Foods, The Good King Tavern, River Twice, Laurel, Royal Izakaya, Fiorella, and more. Black, white and brass on the exterior, the interior is clad with custom moldings and Danish-matte white oak floors that have been reclaimed from fallen trees, sourced by Philly?s own architectural salvage rockstars, Provenance. The pi?ce de r?sistance is the incredibly lush urban garden with brick pavers, a stone retaining wall, horizontal cedar fencing, and a canopy of mature cherry and crepe myrtle trees. Enter the first floor into a grand open living, dining, and kitchen space that was designed to entertain. Hand-hewn beams reclaimed from a barn in Lancaster line the ceiling of the kitchen which features elegant soapstone countertops, solid brass cabinet hardware, a Georgian era brass bridge faucet, and a generous mix of cabinet, drawer, and open shelving storage. Connecting the kitchen to the garden is a cozy sunroom that is a great breakfast nook or work from home space by day and makes for a moody cocktail lounge or romantic spot for dinner for two in the evening, thanks to a copper mirror-effect Tom Dixon pendant light, a built-in bench (with storage) and custom upholstered cushions with fabric from the UK?s House of Rym. A first-floor powder room is lined in Ellie Cashman?s iconic floral wallpaper inspired by the still life paintings of the Dutch Golden Age which was printed custom for the space. A double door coat closet and access to the finished basement with multiple storage closets, complete the first-floor features. On the second floor, a bright and spacious hallway connects two guest bedrooms (one with a private deck overlooking the garden and one that is also en suite to the bathroom) to a spacious and serene guest bathroom, as well as a laundry closet with washer/dryer. A door on the second floor opens to the private stairs, leading to the third story owner's suite with cathedral ceilings and an open bedroom/bathroom concept. Custom built-ins with solid brass Schoolhouse Electric hardware make up the entire length of the bedroom?s East-facing wall, and a separate walk-in closet ensures that everything has its place. The owner's suite bathroom is the type of bathroom you could happily spend the day in, with a Restoration Hardware marble-top double vanity perched against the most dynamic exposed brick wall, copper-clad mirrors that reflect a freestanding soaking tub, a separate spacious shower with Hansgrohe fixtures, custom floating white oak shelving for linens, and a separate, enclosed powder room with a perforated Moroccan pendant light. The house also features Legrand Adorne Collection light switches and dimmers throughout, a wi-fi controlled alarm system, Nest thermostats and smoke detector, and benefits from an additional 3-4 years left on a 10-year tax abatement. All fixtures, finishes, utilities and equipment are less than six years old.
