Philadelphia, PA 19125

Welcome to 2147 E Firth, a charming home nestled off of the cobblestone streets of Trenton Ave. The first thing you?ll notice is the brick exterior with contrasting lintels. The frontage on this house is 18? wide, inclusive of your own private gated alleyway that runs from the street to the backyard, allowing for windows down the full length of the side of this home. Stepping inside, you enter the living room complete with a coat closet, and hardwood floors running throughout. This area flows right into the dining room, which is highlighted by the soaring 2 story open atrium complete with skylight. This unique feature is a sight truly to be taken in during the daytime, so book that showing early! There is a half bathroom right before you enter the kitchen complete with modern fixtures and an exposed brick wall. The custom kitchen has amazing zebrawood cabinets and polished concrete and glass counters. There is a large island with tons of storage, double glass pendant lights, and an overhang perfect for cozying up with stools. Moving into the backyard, there is a secluded patio perfect for outdoor entertaining. There are plenty of flower beds for all of your gardening needs; currently home to a fruiting pear tree amongst other beautiful flowers. A portion of the patio is semi-covered by the balcony above. Heading back inside we take the wide modern wraparound staircase complete with hand poured concrete treads and wood risers up to the second floor. The first bedroom has a partially open wall, allowing the light from the front room to enter into the hallway. Perfect to be left as is, or can easily have a wall/door installed to be closed off. There is plenty of room for a bed, desk, and chair in this space, in addition to all the storage provided by the wall armoire. Walking back along the hallway, which currently has many happy plants soaking up that skylight sun, you will find the primary bedroom. This room has a full wall of built-in closets and a sliding glass door which exits to the second floor balcony. This is the perfect place for your morning coffee, with great views of the yard below.
