2638 S ROSEWOOD ST Philadelphia, PA 19145

When you think quintessential South Philadelphia, this is what comes to mind: lovely tree-lined streets, the smell of sweet pastry in the air and neighbors on steps chatting away. Nestled in the heart of the neighborhood just steps from lush Marconi Park sits a special home that marries a modern, industrial aesthetic in a traditional setting. You are greeted with fantastic curb appeal, a bright red welcoming door, overflowing flower boxes and colorful planters. Far from cookie-cutter, once inside, you'll find original wide plank hardwood floors, cheerfully painted walls, classic tin ceilings and light-filled rooms. Reclaimed wood paneling, walnut crown molding, a decorative mantle and task lighting add a warm, contemporary feel. The chef's kitchen boasts brightly painted walls and spectacular cobalt tile. Concrete countertops, a five burner dual-fuel convection range with a high-end industrial exhaust hood, a stainless steel sink with commercial hand spray and matching Kenmore Elite appliances with a high-efficiency French door refrigerator round out the kitchen features. Out back you'll enjoy a private deck, perfect for gardening, grilling and dining al fresco on summer nights. Upstairs find three spacious bedrooms including the front bedroom which boasts exposed brick and an industrial pipe-fitted closet, and a classic vintage-inspired tiled bath with pedestal sink and claw foot tub. This home is just a few blocks from Girard Park and steps from public transportation and shopping. Close to The Lakes and the stadiums and one block from the Broad Street subway line making the commute to Center City a breeze. Walk to favorite neighborhood eateries, P&S, Cacia's, L'Angolo, Scannicchio's and the Tap Room on 19th. A few more walkable blocks northeast is Passyunk Square, recently named one of Food & Wine magazine's 10 Best Foodie Streets In America where you'll also enjoy eclectic boutiques, coffee shops, vintage clothing stores, an urban garden store, yoga studios and a private specialty grocer. If you are looking for a unique, modern aesthetic with loads of character and charm in a solid, friendly community rich in tradition, you have found your home!
