Prepare to be mesmerized by this exquisite residence in the heart of Brewerytown! With architectural details that will take your breath away, this work of art was impeccably restored by an architect/preservationist couple with an eye for detail and a passion for historic conservation. Not only is this home a visual masterpiece of design and sophistication, it's also been thoughtfully upgraded with modern features and state-of-the-art systems not typically found in newly built homes. This restoration was not intended for sale, but a labor of love for the owners, who wanted to create a home to live in and love for years to come. The brick facade of the home is adorned with intricate cornices and arched windows, while the vestibule features solid wood doors with fluted glass. Inside, the hexagon floor and stylish wallpaper create a warm and inviting entrance.

The first level features an open floor plan with white oak flooring, and the architectural-digest-worthy staircase adds an element of grandeur. The spacious living room boasts oversized windows and a majestic mantel, while the dining room has exposed brick details and custom bookcases flanking the large picture window. The stylish kitchen is sure to impress with its tiled floors, seamless countertops, innovative lighting and Bosch appliances. Off the dining room is a tiled mudroom with more fluted glass and slate accents, providing ample storage and outdoor access. The enclosed back yard with rear-alley access has wooden fencing, a chicken coop, storage shed, lighting and hardscaping for entertaining.

Upstairs, you'll find sun-kissed plaster walls, two skylights, and a grand mahogany banister. There are two bright and airy bedrooms with high ceilings, custom built-ins, and new transoms. The primary bedroom is a standout, with dramatic arched windows and a doorway with stained glass; an ensuite bathroom with Florentine glass, slate floors, tiled walls, brass finishes, and a decadent clawfoot tub. The back bedroom is equally spacious with loads of windows and plenty of storage. Also on this level is a roomy hall bathroom with a 2nd clawfoot tub and a privacy window for natural light. There's a proper laundry room with a stackable washer/dryer, a drying rack, cabinets and a utility sink. The built-in bookshelves and storage in the hallway doubles as a perfect hideaway, reading nook. Ascend the architect-designed goose-step ladder to the roof deck with its living garden, irrigation system and built-in seating, perfect for entertaining and watching the sun set over the city. The basement is a contractor's dream, composed of resurfaced concrete floors, a considerable amount of storage cabinets, workspaces, and an office space with a drafting table. No detail was overlooked, new electrical and plumbing, stripped and restored woodwork, insulated floors and open-cell insulated exterior walls, silicon-coated roof, new flashings and a slate chimney cap, tankless water heater and zoned mini-split system ensures your comfort year-round. Overall, this home is a true gem, showcasing the perfect blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern amenities. Brewerytown is a fantastic place to live, offering a wide array of outdoor activities in Fairmount Park, Boathouse Row, and the Schuylkill River Trail. The Athletic Recreation Center is a 4.7-acre public facility with a playground, basketball and tennis courts, a football field, and a pool.
