It's been a Hot Philly Summer, and now 1406 S. 9th Street is really going to heat things up! The first detail you'll notice is how the ornate wooden door pops as you approach the front steps of this LARGE rowhome near the corner of 9th and Reed. When entering, you're greeted by a tiled foyer that extends into a large and welcoming living room with a 10 foot ceiling, original wood floors, remnants of the old fireplace, and access to the shared side alley. As you continue back, you'll notice the abundance of light in the full dining room and kitchen due to the rare availability of windows on the side of the house. Not to be missed is the former 2nd set of stairs that was converted into a powder room by the current owners. The kitchen boasts a farmhouse feel with city vibes and contains ample counterspace for preparing and hosting meals. Stepping outside, the back patio is large enough to add furniture and host outdoor gatherings with friends and family or even to add a raised bed garden. The 2nd floor boasts a large rear bedroom containing a "sun room" carve out. Next to that is the subway tiled bathroom with walk-in shower. The two connected rooms up front create a perfect setup for additional sleeping or office space. As you walk up to the 3rd floor, you'll notice the walkout rooftop door for your future deck addition. There is an additional full bathroom with a washer/dryer hookup, and a single large bedroom with it's own walk-in closet. The basement runs almost the length of the home and contains 7 feet of clearance to the joists with large front windows, ideal for finishing without the headache of having to dig deeper. The owners have updated virtually all mechanical aspects of the home, including a new sewer and water line, electrical service, boiler, tankless water heater, and many special hookups and access points throughout for future renovations. Located in Passyunk Square just a block off of the Avenue and a block south of the Italian Market, this home is surrounded by all necessary amenities, including ACME, CVS, lively bars and James Beard award winning restaurants. Bonus municipal parking across the street!
