1310 DICKINSON ST Philadelphia, PA 19147

A timeless blend of period details and modern amenities are showcased in this picture-perfect residence, circa 1920. The quintessential East Passyunk charm of this home begins at the curb with a freshly painted brick facade, a striking door with vintage hardware, and a Persian Ironwood tree with its stunning autumn foliage and unique bark patterning. A beautiful and decorative original tile vestibule is a fitting invitation and once inside, a light-filled living room with an exposed brick accent wall makes a grand and welcoming impression. The home dazzles with open, sun-drenched spaces and offers classic simplicity, design-sensitive renovations, and classic vintage restorations. The living room boasts original hardwood floors with a walnut inlay border and a decorative and whimsically painted pink brick fireplace. The dining room features a mid-century modern-inspired chandelier and easily seats a dinner party of six and the kitchen offers new stainless steel appliances and painted cabinets. A door from the kitchen invites the outside in and serves as an extension of the home. The private patio's fence adorned with grapes and hops is the perfect place for a cup of coffee on a cool autumn morning or dining al fresco in the evenings. A convenient powder room rounds out the first floor. Upstairs, find three bedrooms, the primary with a fun Sputnik chandelier and an Eastlake built-in closet with antique mirrors. The bathroom is delightfully vintage and charming with 1950s retro tiling. This lovely home is located just steps from vibrant and eclectic East Passyunk Avenue.
