Property Description

Presenting 1106 Stratford Avenue. This Dutch colonial once belonged to the Philadelphia Lorimer's in 1895 and much of the nuance of the Art Deco design still remains. The designer/owner has taken great pride in merging the Eras, blending the Classic Architectural features of Yesteryear with Modern Design. Stone,copper gutters & a slate roof highlights this 3 story home's exterior with it's grand slate front patio to relax and enjoy the quiet surroundings. Once inside, you'll find a large foyer with an imported crystal chandelier of the period and rosette, Grand 3 story staircase with, not one BUT 2 Stain Glass Windows and window seats with storage. The ARCHITECTURE WILL WOW YOU with the 10' ceilings, 6" floor, door & window moldings, original 6ft wainscotting, crown moldings, archways, and original wood floors through out the home which have a rich patina. And this is just the Foyer! The Living room features a Focal Marble Fireplace and Tall windows to let the sunlight stream in. The windows have deep sills and most have the original panes. From the Living room, through Pocket Doors, is a large Dinning room with a matching chandelier from the foyer. Twin corner built ins are arched and include storage below. A classic lower wall wainscotting completes this room. The butlers pantry, with the last matching chandelier, has original cabinetry and a wet bar. The kitchen has been redone to reflect the original cabinetry of the butlers pantry and kitchen and has new Stainless Double Wall Oven, D/W, 5 Burner Gas Cooktop and Fridge. COUNTER TOPS are presently being handcrafted by a Master Craftsman at Bally Block and will be a rich, dark stained butcher block. (Sample in Kitchen). The kitchen also has a COOL servants staircase to the 2nd Floor. Upstairs, you will find a master suite with its own Art Deco bath and adjoining Bedroom, presently a dressing room but could be a nursery or office. Another Art Deco Hall bath and 2 large bedrooms complete the 2nd floor. The third floor has 3 more bedrooms, two which are the dutch dormers & one which has its own bath. The other dutch has a cedar closet & is presently used as a studio. Outside you'll delight in the large lot with stone wall, both front & back, fire pit, basement with Bilco doors access, and garden, which you'll be able to harvest. Large driveway and 2 car garage too. Walking distance to Trains & close to Creekside Co-op and local businesses and eateries, this AMAZING HOME should definitely be on your tour!
