Brand new flooring and additional bedroom added. Soaring ceilings, tall windows, a working fireplace, and proximity to all things hip and cool in Philly make this spacious unit a great find. Located in the heart of Fitler Square, 4 units make up the stunning Spruce St. building. Enter through the historic common hallway to this first floor unit and when you open your front door your eyes are drawn up to the crown molding that accentuates the high ceilings. A fireplace anchors the large and open living/dining room area, which is flooded with natural light. Step into the first floor master suite that has a unique architectural oval window and steps out to a private outdoor area. Cast iron railings lead down to a very private feeling kitchen and entertaining area. The lower level is where the hearth of the home has with a newer kitchen, brand new hard wood engineered floors rife with storage, granite countertops and newer appliances. Behind kitchen is the 2nd bedroom. The exposed brick wall has a series of very unique arches that offer a great place for storing wine, book shelves, or what ever personal creative touches you can dream up. Lovely exposed beams and original door knobs add to the historic charm. Across from the kitchen and down a hallway is a laundry/storage room as well as a half bath. Outside you are surrounded by lovely architecture, and it is just 2 blocks to the Schuylkill River Park, the river trial, a local dog park and community garden. This home provides great access to the city and yet feels very quiet and insulated.
