Description
Calling all design enthusiasts and lovers of unique spaces: we have the home for you.
Meet 1319 Porter Street, a custom mid-century-inspired home in one of South Philadelphia's most desirable neighborhoods, Lower Moyamensing. If you didn’t think it was possible to channel Fallingwater or the Hanna House in a rowhome, think again. Part Frank Lloyd Wright and part Wharton Esherick, this home’s design is characterized by simplicity and functionality showcased in clean lines, gentle organic curves and a love for different materials. The curb appeal begins at the door with a handsome brick front, elongated windows and a center door. A striking entryway boasts geometric floor tile and a spectacular freestanding stovepipe fireplace. Then, find a spacious living room with both recessed and indirect lighting, leaded glass, skylights, custom oak paneling and gleaming terracotta floors. A formal dining area with a custom built-in hutch accented with stained leaded glass detailing is a great place to gather and a 70s-inspired kitchen with mod tile flooring and backsplash, wood cabinets, a stained glass back door and a skylight is large and awaiting your finishing touch. The yard is private with a windscreen overhang and is perfect for coffee al fresco. On the second floor you'll find three sizable bedrooms with oak paneling, built-in dressers and vanities, recessed lighting and wall-to-wall carpeting. The large hall bath wows with original vintage tile, a double vanity and a suspended under-lit ceiling. This home is truly a canvas for the creative where form follows function. A home this unique and special on a beautiful block comes around infrequently. Experience all the excitement of the city while enjoying the comfort of a friendly, residential neighborhood just a few blocks south of Passyunk Square's eclectic restaurants, shops and galleries and minutes from the Broad Street subway. Catch a game or a concert at the stadiums without worrying about parking or take a stroll or walk the dog around nearby Marconi Park. You’ll love dinner at Scannicchio’s, water ice at Pop's, enjoying pierogis at Black Cat Tavern, singing with friends at karaoke night at South House and enjoying a Cheesesteak at Oregon Steaks. If you love custom mid-century details and are tired of cookie-cutter, we have your home.
