Property Description

Set in the heart of Bella Vista, this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence delivers a sophisticated take on modern city living, pairing gracious interiors with exceptional private outdoor space and one of Philadelphia’s most compelling neighborhood settings. The main level unfolds with rich hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and a handsome bay window that draws natural light into the living room, while the adjoining dining area creates an elegant transition to the beautifully appointed kitchen. Designed as both a culinary workspace and a natural gathering place, the kitchen features granite countertops, crisp white shaker cabinetry, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a refined tile backsplash, GE wine refrigeration with dedicated bottle storage, and an oversized breakfast bar that anchors the space with effortless style. Double doors open to an unusually generous rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection and a private urban setting equally suited to intimate dinners, summer entertaining, or quiet mornings outdoors. The second level offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, a beautifully finished full bath, and a dedicated laundry room, while the entire third floor is reserved for the primary suite—a serene private retreat defined by high ceilings, abundant natural light, a spacious walk-in closet, and an elegant en-suite bath with detailed tilework, a glass-enclosed shower, soaking tub, double vanity, and window. Just beyond the bedroom, a private deck extends the suite outdoors, offering an intimate setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or a quiet escape above the city. The finished lower level adds flexible living space along with a separate storage and mechanical area, while dual-zone HVAC provides comfort throughout. Beyond the residence itself, the location is exceptional. Positioned on a wide Bella Vista street with convenient parking, the home sits moments from the historic Italian Market and an extraordinary collection of beloved neighborhood destinations, including Angelo’s, Termini Brothers, The Saloon, Dante & Luigi’s, Fitzwater Café, Morning Glory, Ralph’s, and Fiorella Pasta. South Street, Passyunk Square, Washington Square West, Center City, and Old City are all within easy reach, with nearby parks, public transportation, the Broad Street Line, and major roadways offering seamless access throughout Philadelphia. Stylish, spacious, and deeply connected to its surroundings, this is a home that captures the character of Bella Vista while offering the polish, comfort, and livability of a thoughtfully reimagined urban residence.
