Sal Sedita

Description

Behind the charming exterior of this home is a beautifully maintained space, where every detail was thoughtfully chosen and each customization made with both style and function in mind. The vibrant red front door opens to a unique reverse layout, placing the impressive kitchen front and center. With stone floors, soapstone countertops, a full marble herringbone backsplash, and a high-end Thermador stainless steel appliance package, the kitchen is as practical as it is stunning, featuring a five-burner cooktop, built-in microwave drawer, and a pot filler. The custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, accessible by a library ladder, surrounds a large passthrough window with a marble sill, adding a standout feature to the space. The open living and dining areas are perfect for entertaining, with a sleek navy and gray color palette, a gas fireplace with Walker Zanger marble tile, crown molding, and a marble-topped dry bar with a double wine fridge. Discreet custom cabinetry hides a coat closet and entertainment system wiring, and a second library ladder rail adds functionality. Marvin French doors open to a large bricked patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. White oak hardwood floors on the main level are stained to match the original upstairs floors, leading to two guest bedrooms. The first features a wide window with a deep sill, while the second boasts two east-facing windows. The hallway bath is outfitted with Restoration Hardware fixtures, a soaking tub with subway tile surround, metallic accents, and a recessed vanity with a Porcher sink. On the third floor, the master suite offers a true escape, featuring vaulted ceilings with skylights in both the bedroom and en-suite bath, giving the space a bright, airy feel. The bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed and includes custom built-ins and a remote-controlled skylight shade. An arched doorway leads to a corridor with custom closets, a built-in storage bench, and a frosted transom window that allows natural light into the bathroom. The en-suite bath features heated porcelain tile floors, a six-foot Kohler tub, Grohe fixtures, and more Restoration Hardware finishes. The current owners have already laid the groundwork for transforming the basement into a comfortable living space by installing a French drain, sump pump, and a comprehensive basement waterproofing system, making it ready for immediate renovations if additional square footage is desired. Located in the heart of Fitler Square and within the Greenfield elementary school catchment, this home is within walking distance to some of Philadelphia’s best restaurants, parks, and the Schuylkill River Trail. Easy access to 676/76/95, Ben Franklin, Walt Whitman, Septa bus routes, and regional rail.
