Description
Welcome to 1245 Lombard Street, where Old World charm and modern sensibility shake hands and decide to be best friends. Nestled in lovely and picturesque Washington Square West, this Federal-style beauty serves up all the symmetry and history you crave -- think gabled rooflines, dormered windows, and classic red-brick curb appeal while delivering the light, air, and modern updates you live for.Lombard Street is an urban oasis of classic ivy-strewn Philadelphia rowhomes with tiny marble stoops, colorful doors, fanlights, and shuttered windows flanked with potted planters. Added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1961, this handsome turn-of-the-century row offers classic simplicity, design-sensitive renovations, and classic vintage restorations.Step into the living room and youll notice the glow of original pine floors underfoot, thick crown molding overhead, and a wood-burning brick fireplace that whispers cozy nights in. Built-ins and a chair rail add to the charm, but the real showstopper is the magnificent turned staircase, equal parts sculpture and architecture.The kitchen? Drenched in southern light, spacious, and designed for people who know their way around a recipe and a dinner party. Marble countertops, subway tile, beautiful cabinetry with matte black hardware, and industrial shelving bring the chic. A leaded glass transom and a sun-splashed brick floor keep it rooted in character. Through the French doors, youll find your private brick patio and garden, ready for alfresco dinners or cozy glasses of wine under the stars.Upstairs, two bedrooms and a freshly renovated hall bath with marble floors and a glass-door shower round out the second floor. Head upstairs again and the third-floor primary bedroom is your serene escape: vaulted ceilings, a second fireplace, and whitewashed brick detail that feels like a lofted treehouse. A clever staircase lined with bookshelf inserts leads to your lofted office perch, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like en-suite with a marble shower and double vanity.And then theres the neighborhood. Washington Square West is a cultural buffet: sip wine in Midtown Village, treasure hunt on Antique Row, unwind in leafy Washington Square Park, or take in a show along the Avenue of the Arts. Forget the car, walk to Jefferson Station or hop on the Broad Street Line. That said, the sellers are sweetening the deal with six months of pre-paid parking just a block away (with the option to extend).Historic, stylish, walkable, and warm, this is Philadelphia living at its very best. Welcome home.
