1015 Federal St

"You have a lovely home." You'll hear this often when you move to 1015 Federal Street. This Passyunk Square townhome is located within walking distance to everything the neighborhood has to offer- restaurants, bars, boutiques, grocery stores, and bakeries. Adjacent to the Italian market, three blocks from the Broad Street Line subway station, in between Columbus Square and Capitolo parks, and a quick bike ride up town. Three stories, four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, play room in the basement and an extra den area on the third floor provide plenty of space for your growing family. Lovingly taken care of by generations of South Philly families, the history of the house still remains in the details. From it's pink tiled vestibule (a nod to the 50's era) to the walnut inlaid oak floors, to the high living room ceilings, and it's super-efficient radiator heating...this home is a combination of modern necessities and classic Philadelphia historic charm. Welcome home by entering through a vestibule into a large combination living/dining space. Custom-built bookcase in the living room and crown molding. Large kitchen with huge center island for gathering and meal preparation. Caesar stone quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances, two toned cabinets with soft shut drawers, cool copper ceiling, plenty of lighting and tons of storage space! A mud room off the kitchen was created with functionality in mind. Mom-designed laundry area with pull out folding table, recessed laundry basket storage, cubbies for coats and sports gear, and stacked washer and dryer. Yes, no more schlepping to the basement for laundry! Powder room off the laundry space with a marble counter top and matching pendant light. Second floor contains three bedrooms and a fully tiled bathroom. Good closet space in two of three bedrooms, plus a linen closet in the hallway. Master suite on the third floor includes a large sloped ceiling bedroom with French doors connecting it to a den (currently used as music room). Master suite also includes a full bathroom with stand up shower and separate whirlpool bathtub, DOUBLE SINKS (how do couples live without them?), granite counter top, radiant heat flooring, and more than enough storage between the vanity and additional built in shelving. Bedroom comes with modular closet storage plus an additional walk in closet. A staircase from the den leads you up to the most awesome view of the city skyline- you'll see uptown and downtown straight to The Linc. Maintenance free, composite deck (often called "Trex") with vinyl railing. Catch a sunset and enjoy fireworks practically year round- 4th of July, New Years Eve, whenever the Phillies hit a home run, or the Eagles score a touch down. The basement is partially finished with two rooms for storage and one room that has been finished for extra play and lounging space. Basement is clean and dry. Your backyard is BIG and comes with a Restoration Hardware fire table- roast marshmallows and relax with friends and family on a cool autumn evening. Many perennials fill the box planters and will bloom in the Spring. Look up to see a wall mural painted by Philadelphia-based, nationally acclaimed street artist. Summer festivities are a MUST in this space. A bit about the mechanicals: Dual zoned air conditioning with central air for top two floors and through-the-wall unit on the first floor. Gas fueled radiator heat, gas cooking. Roof recently maintenanced. This home has been well-maintained throughout current ownership with no deferred maintenance. Move right in. Home is for sale by owner. Buyer's agents welcome, no interest in seller's agent. Contact 215-779-0910 to schedule showing.
