Description
Presenting 821 Reed Street, one of Philadelphia's finest examples of a beautifully appointed facade married with a warm and modern interior situated in the heart of Passyunk Square, a neighborhood immersed in culture, dining and history.
This 3-story building has the curb appeal coveted by lovers of urban architecture: Federal-style rich brick symmetry with flat lintels over each window and a striking decorative cornice. Overflowing flowering planters and a colorful mailbox are a welcome invitation and once inside, the home dazzles with open, sun-drenched spaces and offers classic simplicity, design-sensitive renovations and classic vintage restorations. Enter into a sunny living room with 9' ceilings, hardwood flooring and recessed lighting painted in a soft, neutral hue. Through a decorative archway, find a separate dining room that easily seats a dinner party of eight. The wide galley kitchen is the heart of the home and boasts white-washed cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a huge double window flooding the room with light, and plenty of counter space for food preparation. Behind the kitchen you'll find a tiled mud room with laundry and powder room leading to a private patio, perfect for grilling and dining al fresco. On the second floor, find two bedrooms with cozy wall-to-wall carpeting and a renovated ceramic tile bath with a soaking tub. The crowing jewel of the home is the third floor sun-soaked Master Suite with two large closets and en-suite bath. The home features central air with a new compressor and a new hot water heater. You'll love the neighborhood. Passyunk Avenue boasts some of South Philadelphia's oldest and most authentic and traditional restaurants, cozy BYOBs, fun gastropubs and modern, eclectic cuisine. The Avenue is hopping with galleries, boutiques, specialty cheese shops, salons, vintage shops, an organic grocery store and a bottle shop and you'll love signature special events, like Flavors of the Avenue or Second Saturday. Recently named one of Food & Wine Magazine's 10 Best Foodie Streets in America, this is your opportunity to have the best of the neighborhood at your doorstep. This spectacular home offers the most discerning buyer a glorious melding of old and new, formal and casual, practical and desirable. Welcome home.
