We are offering a down-payment assistance program: $5,000 in closing cost, $500 for appraisal, and $500 for Home Warranty through Motto Mortgage Expert Solutions. Charming Philadelphia classic rowhome combines the soul & charm of Philadelphia in this 4 bedroom & 2 and a half bathroom home in the up and coming neighborhood of Cobbs Creek. This home is essentially new construction within the beautifully restored original brick walls, showcasing top-notch craftsmanship at every turn. As you approach, the curb appeal is undeniable, with a designer front porch, concrete yard patio, and a newly planted cherry tree. Enter through the wide front door, and you'll be greeted by a tiled foyer with an exposed brick wall, perfect for an electric fireplace. To the left, a spacious coat closet offers convenience. Pass through a stunning Roman-style arch into the open-concept formal dining area, flooded with natural light from bay windows. To your right, discover an ultra-modern kitchen, featuring charcoal porcelain tiles, imported Brazilian granite countertops, and an abundance of cabinet space with slow-closing doors and drawers. The kitchen boasts high-end stainless-steel appliances and a captivating Moroccan-style travertine natural stone backsplash. Step outside onto the expansive wooden deck, ideal for quiet breakfasts at sunrise or entertaining on warm spring evenings. For added privacy, descend to the fenced backyard with a straight concrete patio. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a well-appointed guest powder room adorned with Spanish heritage porcelain tiles. The second floor offers two generously sized bedrooms, each with its own closet, a hallway linen closet, and a spacious main bedroom with a nearly walk-in closet featuring high-quality mirror bifold doors. The second-floor full bathroom showcases a modern suspended vanity cabinet, a soaking tub, and an operable skylight for natural light and fresh air. Descend to the finished basement, complete with high-end black-stainless washer and dryer, a stainless-steel laundry basin, and additional storage shelves. To your right, a spacious room with a wall-to-wall walk-in closet can serve as a second main bedroom, a man cave, a playroom, or even an in-law suite with its personal egress to the backyard and a full bath. The full bath is tastefully tiled with Spanish heritage floor tiles, Carrara marble, and ceramic walls. Accordion doors conceal high-efficiency, top-of-the-line mechanical systems, offering easy access for maintenance. This home features solid oak hardwood floors throughout, hard-wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, dimmable LED lighting, security cameras with internet-enabled DVR, a Nest Wi-Fi thermostat, full weather and sound insulation, three-piece baseboards, rosettes, and wide trims.
