2042 Kater St

Philadelphie, PA 19146

Welcome to 2042 Kater Street, located on the best block in Graduate Hospital, and within the highly desirable Greenfield School Catchment. This quiet and welcoming street is lined with mature trees and has a lovely mix of long-term residents and young families. Designed by the award winning Gnome Architects, 2042 Kater was transformed in 2017 to a three-story, spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath family home and still has five years remaining on the city's real estate tax abatement! When entering, you are immediately impressed by the efficiency of space and how the home feels drenched in natural light. The bright and modern eat-in kitchen is truly the heart of the home and is well designed to accommodate even the most discerning home chef or entertainer featuring ample cabinetry, stainless appliances, a spacious island and large peninsula to entertain at the heart of this open floor plan. French sliders open to a very private screened-in patio expanding the living space for all four seasons. Here children have an ideal play space and adults can enjoy an evening around the gas fire-pit listening to music or watching a favorite game al fresco. The finished lower level has 9' ceilings, a half bath and a large room outfitted with a vented gas fireplace and surround speakers that is currently used as a family room but can serve as a 4th bedroom or home office. The second floor has 2 generously-sized bedrooms, washer/dryer and a shared hallway bath. The primary master suite encompasses the entire third floor of the home, and this is when you know you found your place. The nicely sized bedroom spoils you with French sliders that open up to a balcony with expansive City views. There is a custom walk-in closet and a large private bath with dual shower-heads plus rain shower. One more flight up and you find a breathtaking view of Philadelphia. This very large roof deck accommodates a living area with fire-pit, dining area, space for a grill and even includes plumbing for a future hot tub. Such a great spot for entertaining. The pilot house features a butcher-block wet bar and refrigerator. This view is not to be missed! 2042 Kater Street is conveniently located near the Schuylkill Trail, dog park, playground, tennis courts, UPENN, CHOP, Rittenhouse Square, 30th St. Station, major thoroughfares, grocery stores and much more! There are so many thoughtful and creative amenities that set this home apart: abundance of natural light, upscale finishes and craftsmanship, beautiful hardwood floors, keyless entry with Ring alarm system and security cameras, Crestron motorized shades, built-in Sonos speakers, custom floating staircase, central vacuum system, gas fireplace, tankless water heater, dual zone HVAC, two beverage refrigerators, Ecobee smart thermostat and plenty of thoughtful built-in storage. Rooftop is reinforced and hot tub ready. Seriously, this home is a must-see!
