MARLA SCHECHTER

Description

Stop scrolling -- this is it. Magazine-worthy spaces? Check. Roof deck for late-night summer hangs? Check. Off-street parking? Check. Natural light? It's like Mother Nature herself decided to give us a little extra glow-up. Welcome to 1217 S 19th Street, a beauty nestled in the heart of Point Breeze just steps from Graduate Hospital and the Washington Avenue commercial corridor where light, space, and a little Parisian influence collide to create the home of your dreams. Situated on a lovely tree-lined street, this 17’ wide corner home is loaded with charm and tons of personality. A beautiful brick facade and colorful flower boxes and planters lining the sidewalk offer fantastic curb appeal. Inside, hardwood floors gleam in the sunlight pouring through the plantation shutters. You imagine evenings curled up on the sofa in front of the gas fireplace envisioning all of the game nights and Friendsgivings you’ll be proud to host. Cooking classes may be in order to fully appreciate the beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen complete with cool marble countertops and breakfast bar, 42” custom cabinetry, a butcher block prep station and stainless steel appliances. Antique brass pendant and task lighting are juxtaposed with a delicate white matte subway tile backsplash, giving Parisian café vibes and reminding you of your recent travels. Sliders invite the outside in and lead to your own private parking space. Circling the neighborhood looking for parking is a thing of the past. The second floor boasts two spacious sun-soaked bedrooms with recessed lighting, a laundry room, and a hall bathroom with a modern double vanity, and large soaking tub and the third-floor primary suite rivals a 5-star hotel with a walk-in closet that dreams are made of. The finished basement offers space for a home gym, an office or a workshop – the possibilities are endless. The crowning jewel may be the rooftop deck which affords unobstructed city views and is so large it makes other roof decks green with envy. That's right, you're truly acing life right now. Now, let's get real about Point Breeze, the place where the weekend’s activities head to you. Stroll the neighborhood and find independent cafes, bistros and bars as well as daily conveniences such as Sprouts Farmer’s Market and Rowhouse Grocery. Enjoy a morning latte and breakfast burrito at Batter and Crumbs Vegan Bakery, lunch and a craft beer at Dock Street Brewing, and the best taco west of Broad Street at Rosario’s. A cozy seat at the bar at local favorite, American Sardine Bar is a must, and Chick’s meatballs will soon become a core memory. Close access to the SEPTA's Broad Street subway line via the Ellsworth-Federal stop and several buses provide a quick commute to the sports stadiums (Go Phils!) and to Center City. The heart of Rittenhouse is a quick walk and Passyunk Square is just a few blocks away. The real estate gods are indeed smiling; this is the one you’ve been waiting for.
