Property Description
Designer like 150+year-old home known as "The Castle in Candle Court" is one of Philly's most unique homes in a garden courtyard setting. This home was completely remodeled just six years ago. It features 2200 Sq. Ft, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 2 spacious outdoor decks and 1 car deeded gated parking. It offers open loft-like dramatic space. Perfect for the art collector. The large and inviting foyer opens into a 28-foot living room with soaring 22-foot ceilings with a huge skylight. A formal dining room with cozy sitting nook + a set of atrium doors opening onto the walk out two-level deck (perfect for dining al fresco). The eat in kitchen offers lots of cabinetry, high end appliances, copper backsplash, plus a large island and opens onto the deck overlooking the gardens. This first level is accented with good closet space, designer lighting, old Spanish tiles, hardwood floors, powder room, a comfortable family room with fireplace, a 15-foot window (with custom electric shade) allowing wonderful natural light + multiple large walls for art. The finished lower level makes for an office or den, and also has laundry, mechanicals and storage. The impressive wide floating stairs to the second level introduces you to the den/study/second bedroom. The main suite features high cathedral ceilings, reclaimed wood beams, closets and an arched door which opens onto a Juliet balcony overlooking the cobblestone walk. The spa-like master bath has an oversized walk-in sunken shower, a separate soaking tub, granite topped vanity with 2 sinks + extra closets and storage space and private toilet room. The atrium door on this level opens onto the wonderful large deck (perfect for morning coffee or evening snacks). This Jewel has been freshly painted inside and out.
