Description
Talk about history! Once a house built for Eastern State Penitentiary prison guards in the 1830's, this almost 200-year-old home has all the unique charm of a historic property fully equipped with modern updates. You get the best of both worlds in this special three bedroom, 3.5 bath, 2,206 sq. ft. townhome with plentiful street parking and a nearby lot. Located on an extra wide, family-friendly street in one of the most desirable sections of Fairmount, this one is a must see! A new roof deck with a beautiful view of the city skyline tops the property's many unique features. Almost the entire house was renovated in 2016 with improvements to the kitchen such as granite counters, modern backsplash, wine fridge, pendant lighting and venting. A stunning custom iron railing runs throughout the house as well as on the new spacious fiberglass roof deck, electric, plumbing, first floor crown molding, refinished second-level floors, stylish bathroom upgrades, new stucco on entire house, and a brand new third floor master suite equipped with laundry for added convenience. The owners did not skimp on upgrades and practical living! A large storage area was added between the second and third floors, a natural gas line installed in the backyard for grilling and heat lamp capabilities, and recessed lighting was added throughout the house. Two zones of heating/cooling were also installed, a new concrete front sidewalk, and professional front and backyard security cameras were also installed. Enter through the center doorway, unique to this house, and into the open main floor with gas fireplace, ceiling fan, and new, floor-to-ceiling windows flooding the space with light. Follow the lovely crown molding and original hardwood floors back to the full kitchen that boasts stainless steel appliances and tons of storage with access to the spacious city backyard featuring an irrigation line and landscape lighting. Head upstairs to the second floor, where you'll find two generously-sized bedrooms and two full baths. There is also a bonus room that could easily be used as an at-home office, den, play area, or whatever your needs require. On the newly finished third floor (2016), you'll find the beautiful master suite with high-end finishes, complete with full marble/quartz bath and his and her walk-in closets. The laundry room is also located on this floor for added convenience. The fiberglass roof deck gives you spectacular city views all year round and makes for an excellent space for entertaining. The basement is finished with a half bath and a ton of additional storage as well. Living at 744 N. 22nd Street gives you accessibility to everything you need! Within walking distance to Whole Foods, Septa bus stop, Target, CVS, the Art Museum, Kelly Drive, and many restaurants, coffee shops, and so much more! A local playground and nearby parking lot put this house in the absolute perfect location. This gem truly won't last long. Don't wait, and make your appointment today!
