Property Description

Tucked away on one of the quietest blocks, in one of the best neighborhoods in Philadelphia, is an architectural masterpiece. Glass panels, steel railings, and wide plank birch floors invite you into this immaculately designed, 38’ wide home, filled with light that enters from the north, south, and west. Entering through the front door, you find a true chef's kitchen, originally designed by Joanne Hudson Associates and filled with the finest appliances: a Viking Range, Wolf Hood, Liebherr Refrigerator, GE Advantium Speed Oven/microwave, Miele Dishwasher & Electric oven. All of this is integrated beautifully into Downsview Cabinetry. In the evening, sunlight suffuses the kitchen with a welcoming glow—one of many ways in which this home lends itself beautifully to entertaining. A modern, sculptural staircase connects the split-level dining room, library/lounge, and kitchen spaces with the cavernous lower level below, which boasts 20-foot ceilings with natural light—perfect for movie night or watching the big game. Winding up the striking staircase to the top floor, you reach the master bedroom, a 1,000 SF sanctuary from the rest of the world. This stunning space features his-and-her walk-in closets, radiant flooring, a sitting area to watch the sunset, and a spacious bathroom grandly appointed with a multi-person, 100-gallon heated jet tub and a walk-in shower for 2+. A true urban oasis, the home is encircled by Belgium block carriage roads, typically used only by you and your neighbors. If you are interested in stretching your legs or taking the kids out to play, stroll just steps away to historic Orkney park, a community hub that offers a jungle gym and a chance to meet your neighbors. Plans to expand Orkney’s green space are currently underway and promise to make the park even more user-friendly and more appealing. If you prefer to relax at home, the back patio offers a fire pit and sleek seating for 10 people, perfect for unwinding on both warm and chilly nights. Parking is available in a generous car port that can fit a pickup truck and is fitted with a 60 amp outlet for high-speed electric vehicle charging. The outlet is powered by a solar array housed on the roof and connected to a 5.6 kW Sunny Boy inverter. Other notable features include Whole home audio with ELAN home audio management, dual zone AC, and motorized blinds.
