2219 MELVIN ST Philadelphia, PA 19131

Total renovation, very thoughtfully executed with beautiful higher-end finishes throughout, while retaining the charm of yesteryear with original glass door knobs, graceful archways, and the original parquet floor. Wonderful, quiet block. Charming stone turret greets you and creates entry foyer with clean, new white hexagonal tile and coat closet. The large living room features refinished gorgeous parquet floor and built in glass shelving. Come through the expansive archway of this room into a large dining room with its recessed nook perfect for a large china cabinet or armoire, and then through another elegant archway is the masterpiece, the kitchen, at the back of the floor plan. Gorgeous, 42" white kitchen cabinets provide pleeeenty of storage. In here, the crown molding, marble countertops, and stainless appliances (especially the modern stainless range hood) will make you think you're in a much more expensive house. Plus there is a built-in marble breakfast bar for quick or casual meals. The upstairs features two medium-size bedrooms (no skinny bedrooms here!)with good closets and a larger Master Bedroom. The Master has an en suite full bath with updated gorgeous fixtures and tiling. The hall bath is also a delight - beautiful contemporary fixtures that again will recall a much more expensive neighborhood. PLUS there is a finished basement, perfect as a den, gym, office, home theater, or whatever your sky's limit tells you it could be. Basement laundry and walk-out access to the attached garage. A wonderful house with the charm and architectural details of a bygone era, updated for today's modern style of living.
