Description
Nestled in the heart of the Graduate Hospital neighborhood, 2103 Catharine is a unbelievably unique 3 bed, 3 full bathroom townhome on a beautifully tree-lined block. What makes it so interesting are the 13-foot ceilings on the main living floor, and the glass garage-style door leading to the rear yard which creates a dramatic and impressive backdrop for every mood at all hours of the day. This gracious opening gives California living vibes right in the heart of Philadelphia. Open the garage entirely and enjoy the outdoors in your own living room! As you walk through the home you will find an abundance of architectural features designed by Friday Architects, such as an oversized skylight, aluminum catwalks, pine wood floating staircases, and 3 inch oak flooring throughout. The first floor open layout creates a wonderful space for entertaining and relaxing alike. The whole first floor site line starts with the gourmet kitchen with Jenn-Air appliances, a 9 foot island, plenty of space for numerous bar stools, and an area for formal dining. Continuing into the living room, your eyes are drawn to the outside wooden benches and built-in planters that make this an urban paradise and give it a very green urban feel. Traveling upstairs on the floating stairs lit by the huge central skylight and light well, you will enjoy the 2nd level bedroom and spacious full bathroom with bathtub.
