Description

Silverwood Street is a brand new construction home in Roxborough, a Philadelphia neighborhood that feels like the suburbs. New construction means tax abatement and this home has the full 100% 10 year program commenced with 10 years remaining. The home sits on a pristine lot at over 10,000 sq ft. with beautiful grass front and rear yards. Inside the home on the first floor we enter at the foyer with an amply sized powder room to the right and the incredible two story living room straight ahead. The living room is well lit with natural lighting from the skylight overhead. The main focus of the living room is the gas vented fireplace and mantle that will be sure to warm the family on those chilly winter nights. On either side of the fireplace is a custom designed and built in book shelf system for your home library or knickknacks. Just through the sliding glass doors one will enter into the sun porch complete with another skylight. One of the best places in the home to relax and appreciate nature, birds, deer and trees out the rear. The kitchen was designed with a chef in mind. Handcrafted custom made cabinetry, black quartz countertops, glass tile backsplash, SS Bosch appliance package (commercial gas stove, vented hood, double wall oven, french door refrigerator and dishwasher) and pot filler at the stove for convenience. Not only does this home have plenty of storage in the main kitchen but also has an additional pantry room with more storage cabinets and a second refrigerator. The island in the kitchen was designed to incorporate a dining room table into it with a handcrafted bench seat. Between the oversized 2 car garage is the mudroom where you will store your shoes, coats and umbrellas. Staying on the first floor behind the living room fireplace is the first of two owner’s suites. This bedroom was designed for a king sized bed, large walk in closet with custom made storage system and finally the bathroom with glass standup shower, clawfoot soaking tub, dual vanity designer cabinet and heated flooring. The second floor is where you will discover the custom designed office space just off of the mezzanine that looks down over the railing into the living room. The office also has a bench storage seating under the triple front window. Perfect for reading or relaxing on the cushioned bench. Just passed the office space is the second owner’s suite also designed as a king sized bedroom, large walk in closet with custom made cabinets and a spa like bathroom with an oversized standup shower built for two, dual vanity sink, heated floors and water closet for the toilet. On the other wing of the house lies two more bedrooms designed for queen sized beds split at the hallway with a full sized basalt tile bathroom. Towards the rear of the home one will pass through the hidden doorway into the lofted apartment above the garage. The loft has a separate exterior staircase and entrance, kitchenette, full sized bathroom and large storage room behind the kitchenette. The loft could be an artist studio, mother inlaw suite or subsidize it by renting it out. Now let’s go check out the basement. The basement is so unique to the area because it is a true walk out basement with concrete staircase that leads one to the rear yard. The rooms within are a full sized bathroom, wet-bar with wine fridge and custom made cabinetry to complement the home theater with 7.1 Dolby Surround Sound. The remaining space in the basement was designed as a workout area with infrared sauna system. Additional features: Savant Home Control, Savant Music in every room, dimmer switches, whole home water filtration system, tankless water heater w backup system, tri zone HVAC, 5,000 sq ft living space, 2 car garage, stamped concrete sidewalks and driveway, CCTV System and Ring Doorbell.
