Built in 1890 as a beautiful Victorian home, this gem has been restored, renovated, and reconfigured to maintain its classic exterior while creating a light-filled, spacious and functional contemporary interior. This unique Spruce Hill residence is nestled on a beautiful tree-lined University City street and sits within the Penn Alexander school catchment! The design takes the layout of a larger urban historic home and reprograms it, retaining the original appeal while adding modern touches for maximum functionality. Take note of the original charm with its high ceilings, leaded glass, original floors, staircase, doors, and more! The spacious rear yard with a walkout balcony off the kitchen is perfect for entertaining. The home has incredible bones and sets the bar for quality urban construction and design. The ornate façade and brickwork have been brought back to their original splendor with newly installed Kolbe & Kolbe windows to compliment the restored decorative & leaded glass. On the ground floor, a dramatically enlarged entry lets natural light flood in and opens the dining area and new custom kitchen to the new rear deck and yard. On the 2nd floor, there is a large family room facing the street. Adjacent to the family room is a dramatic double height study nook, with built-in bookshelves, which was carved out of the 2nd and 3rd floors through selectively cutting away of the flooring to offer added light to the center of the house. The primary suite is located at the rear of the 2nd floor and is approximately 425 square feet. A central corridor accesses closets and the primary walk-in bathroom with its freestanding tub and spacious glass-enclosed shower. The bathroom extends into a large bay projecting out into the side easement. The 3rd floor continues the transformation, eliminating superfluous circulation space and dark, undersized spaces to create three oversized bedrooms and two highly functional bathrooms with an abundance of ambient light. Follow the stairs from the 3rd floor to the usable attic with new historically appropriate dormer windows. Take advantage of a FULL 10-year tax abatement! Don't miss out on this rare opportunity!
