812 S 10TH ST Philadelphia, PA 19147

Classic style and taste meet modern and amenities in this rare and stunningly revived circa 1870s brownstone in Bella Vista; one of the hottest areas of Center City Philadelphia. From its beautifully refinished original pinewood flooring throughout to its soaring ceilings with ornate moldings, this lovely home awaits a new owner to appreciate further its warmth and vitality. Enter through the hand crafted custom 8ft Cherry wood doors to an original foyer with marble floor, wooden wainscoting and a glimpse of the Grand Staircase beyond. The expansive grand parlor dazzles with light and detail. The refinished pine floors and an impressive original marble mantel are almost dwarfed by the wonderful light from the oversized windows while the 14 ft ceilings, decorated with custom crown molding and trim and accented by huge vintage mirrors, all combine to create a truly unique experience. The formal dining room opens onto the kitchen for those who appreciate the "open space" feel and also impresses with hardwood floors, a marble mantel and a custom-built 250 bottle wine closet with adjustable light and temperature controls. The chef's kitchen is a culinary delight! You can entertain an army from the double sized commercial Wolf range/oven complete with food warmers while keeping things fresh in the large SubZero fridge; followed by a sparkling clean up by the Gaggenau dishwasher. Of course, beautiful wooden cabinets, granite countertops, tile flooring and custom lighting go without saying! Exit the kitchen's rear "wall of windows" through custom French doors, to the spacious and lush garden/patio; great for Sunday brunch or a late afternoon cocktail. Up the grand staircase you'll find an abundance of space allowing for 5-6 bedrooms including an open sitting or familyroom and office combo. You also find the spacious Master Bedroom Suite containing: a magnificent custom tile and glass bath with dual shower as well as an original claw foot soaking tub; a complete laundry area including stacked full sized washer/dryer, marble folding table area and ample cabinet storage; a custom walk in cedar closet: and a bedroom that was redesigned and expanded from two rooms into one. All upper rooms are of ample size creating a truly spacious feel and all well lit from numerous full sized windows. Centrally located, you're just a 10-minute walk to Penn's landing and 15 minutes to Rittenhouse Square or UPenn!
