The entrance welcomes you with natural stone flooring, transitioning to maple hardwood, leading to a gourmet kitchen on the left. The kitchen features high gloss wood cabinetry, a quartz countertop, and professional-grade appliances, including a Miele gas burner stove and a Liebherr stainless steel refrigerator. Enjoy your morning coffee in the cozy breakfast nook adjacent to the kitchen, complete with closets for ample storage. The living room is a serene retreat with a wall of windows that overlook a tranquil brick patio, embodying biophilic design principles. For your convenience, a powder room is also located on this floor. Ascend the iconic circular staircase to the second floor, where you'll find a study with a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, a 9 foot ceiling, and a large custom window offering views of historic 3rd Street homes, including the residence of Philadelphia's first mayor. This floor includes an updated full bathroom with a glass-enclosed stall shower and a spacious rear bedroom.
