About the Listing CBPREOC - 3164004
Incredible opportunity directly opposite picturesque Hawthorne Park! Stunning park-front views in a premier Bella Vista location, steps to the Italian Market and walkable to both Center City and South Philly. Solid bones and exquisite architectural details allow for immediate move-in with updates at your own pace; renovated park-facing homes have sold for $850,000+, demonstrating massive built-in equity. Timeless brick façade and entrance vestibule with solid marble cladding open to majestic great room with soaring 10’ ceilings, layered and stepped crown molding, striking plaster ceiling medallion, decorator chandelier, fireplace with freestanding gas-stove insert, built-ins with geometric frieze trim. Beautiful central staircase gracefully climbs all three levels, anchored by an arresting carved newel and continuous original wooden banister. Convenient main-floor powder room tucked into a center hall with gorgeous shadowbox wainscoting and oversized door casings. Substantial formal dining room with pass-through to updated kitchen featuring newer cabinetry, appliances, backsplash, large pull-out pantry. Step out to charming brick patio with privacy fencing and mature magnolia tree. Second-floor guest bedrooms offer extensive built-ins and trim, expansive hall bath featuring floating-style wall-mounted vanity, granite surfaces, full-height mosaic tile surround, soak-tub/shower combination. Third-floor owner’s retreat features large landing with built-ins (ideal home office or dry bar), oversized pressure-treated deck, generous sleeping quarters, wall-to-wall closet with sliding frosted panel doors and built-in organizers. Owner’s bath includes furniture-style vanity and walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile and frameless glass enclosure. Finished basement, unfinished storage area with newer front-loading washer/dryer. Newer roof (2025), water heater (2025), deck (2010), replacement windows, updated 200amp electric service. A rare opportunity offering irreplaceable architecture in a premium location, with the heavy lifting complete and a mammoth six-figure upside. Shows beautifully!
