A stunning blend of Modern and classic Victorian on a quiet, tree-lined street in Spring Garden, 2214 Wallace offers a unique and tranquil perspective on city living. The expanded vestibule leads to an exquisite living area with custom, modern built-ins framing an elegant marble mantelpiece and, for an extra flourish, radiator coverings that house hideaway storage drawers. A full-sized dining room leads to a spacious u-shaped kitchen that has very handy desk/work area at the rear and a modern architect-designed powder room (with a hidden utility closet). On the second floor there are a center bedroom, front bedroom, and a rear office (or bonus room) that features an exquisite full bath and laundry area. The beautifully sculpted stairway culminates in a spacious third floor landing that leads to a patio door to the roof deck ready rear roof, and another architect-designed bathroom with twin sinks set in a custom vanity, twin custom medicine cabinets, frosted glass privacy enclosure for the toilet, and a spacious tiled shower. The main bedroom resides at the front of the third floor and sports a 12-foot wall of closet space. The architect-owner utilized all the finest materials in the fit-out including Toto, Duravit, Hansgrohe, Kohler touchless toilets, Newport Brass, Schoolhouse Electric, Boyd, George Nelson, Lee Broom. Add to that the state-of-the-art tankless, continuous hot water; reverse osmosis drinking water; and high-velocity central air conditioning; two marble mantles; and stained-glass window and this home stacks up as the ideal blend of old and new on a block that is affectionately known as "The Delancey Street of Fairmount."
