2221 Ogden Street

Philadelphia, PA 19130

Welcome to the historic and desirable Art Museum Area! 2221 Ogden Street has been lovingly maintained and intelligently upgraded by the same owner for the past 18 years. Our 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom end unit is positioned on a quiet, one-way, no parking restrictions street. You'll appreciate the saying, 'They don't build them like they used to' as you experience its turn-of-the-century charm but with upgraded modern systems. As you journey past the big window boxes, up the brownstone steps, through the double entry with transom windows, you immediately notice the 3 brand-new schoolhouse-esque milk glass pendant lighting fixtures from the foyer through the kitchen, the high ceilings and tall windows, original built-in cabinets and shelving, hardwood floors throughout, moldings and swirl volute stair railing. A sweeping living and dining room combination provides a serene and accommodating space to both entertain and enjoy one's quiet time. Through the dining room and into the retro eat-in chef's kitchen, you'll find a stainless-steel oven with gas burners, glass door cabinetry, room for table & chairs, indigo glazed ceramic tile backsplash and counter, long butcher block countertop and a stylish black & white checkered floor. A convenient separate mudroom leads to your updated half bathroom and out onto your charming private patio and mini garden area. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening adult beverage on a bistro set or bench amongst the greenery. Your houseplants will love you for providing them with such a rejuvenating place to summer. Unlike an Interior townhome, 2221 Ogden Street is an End Unit, which means you have NO neighbor to the west, no connected neighbor noise, additional side windows on the main and upper floor and additional exterior storage for your cans/bikes/grill/etc. A gate leads from your patio to your walking alley and a classic wrought iron front gate leads back out to Ogden Street. This means you do not have to go through your home with weekly cans or any other time you or guests don't want to trapes through the house. Your original stair case with brand-new neutral Berber runner leads up to the upper level where you'll find a 2nd floor of beautifully maintained hardwood and a 12' x 25' oversized, street-facing owner's suite with extra tall windows and 2 walls of built-in closets. The full en suite doubles as a full hall bathroom which beams in white and light grey. Retro white hexagon mosaic floor tile, brand-new modern vanity, lighting fixture and mirror, 2 unique octagon wood trimmed windows and a tub/shower provide options for leisurely baths or relaxing showers. Down the hall past the deep hall closet is your 2nd bedroom where you'll find tall side and back windows, floor to ceiling built-in shelves and a comfortable space which could also be used as a home office with sofa bed, nursery, roommates' room or guest bedroom. Head all the way downstairs through a door in the kitchen to your partially finished lower level providing additional lounge, office, studio, work out or playroom space. A separate laundry area with 2 smaller windows to the outside front, large washer and dryer units and a convenient utility sink sits behind the finished area along with a large storage closet. Towards the back, a door leads to an unfinished workshop area which could also be used as additional storage. Perfectly situated between the restaurants and nightlife of Fairmount Avenue, boathouse row, and the up-and-coming shops of Girard Avenue, this home has it all! With Kelly Drive and Fairmount Park, playgrounds, and bike shares right around the corner, the choice to opt outside is at your fingertips while the Museum District provides countless indoor options just a short mosey in the other direction.
