Welcome to the "Octagon House" – the nickname affectionately bestowed by neighborhood locals upon this fully custom-built and unique South Philly gem The pristine brick facade is characterized by its set of distinctive octagon-shaped, double-pane oak windows with custom etched glass. Step up the stoop and enter through the oak door with custom crackled glass, where you are welcomed by the cheerful entryway with a granite floor and ceiling. The sunny, open-concept main level features natural oak hardwood floors, a custom-built glass block gas fireplace, oak returns, and more charming etched glass windows. Walk through the spacious living and dining areas which flow seamlessly into the kitchen – highlighted by solid oak cabinets, a unique jellyfish ceiling fan, and granite floors, countertops, and backsplash. It also comes fully-loaded with luxurious stainless steel GE Profile appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave, 5-burner cooktop with hood, single convection wall oven, and French door refrigerator. Past the kitchen and through the rear door is the private walled patio, sizeable enough for a barbecue and cozy table and chair set. Back inside and up the skylight-lit floating oak stairs leads first to the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms, both with etched glass windows, oak floors, and 8-foot mirrored closets with built-in organizers. Adjacent is the first full bath, accentuated by marble tile, dual pedestal sinks with custom mirrors, large linen closet, stand-up stall with frameless glass doors, and a relaxing jacuzzi tub. Continuing down the hall brings you to the roomy primary bedroom, featuring two separate 8-foot closets with built-in organizers and a built-in 4-drawer armoire. Back down both flights of floating stairs is the gigantic finished basement, underscored by porcelain flooring, an oak storage bench with leather seat, built-in oak shelves, and an 8-foot closet/extra pantry. Beside the bench is the second full bathroom, adorned with blue pearl granite tile. On the opposite end are also a separate mechanical room and separate laundry room, the latter including a washtub and a Kenmore washer and dryer set. Top this all off with 3-zone cast-iron baseboard heat (one zone per floor), central air, tankless water heater, a security alarm system, and full view interior doors with privacy glass throughout. Located in historic Girard Estates, its location is fantastic – with easy access to I-95, I-76, and the Walt Whitman bridge, as well as being just 10 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport. Conveniences like ACME, ShopRite, BJs, CVS, Walgreens, and Home Depot are all walkable, and delicious neighborhood food favorites for which South Philly is known are just footsteps away in every direction! This beautiful brick house has been meticulously cared for with love throughout its entire 30+ years of single ownership. Schedule a tour now before this move-in ready home is gone!
