2609 Catharine St

Graduate Hospital, 费城, PA 19146

A quick escape from the bustle, this handsome classic style brick-front home is a sanctuary tucked away on a nearly-secret block in the Devils Pocket section (on the edge of Graduate Hospital). The newer home has an open layout, abundant natural light, and is virtually maintenance-free inside and out. The living area is bright and inviting with fresh neutral paint, recessed lighting, and blond wood flooring. The kitchen features ample cabinet space, granite countertops, tile backsplash, Kitchen Aid appliances, and a prep island. Beyond this is the very private backyard, with plenty of room for grilling and chillingor whatever activities bring you peace after a long day. The second floor features two sunny bedrooms with ceiling fans and nicely-sized closets, a full bath, and hall closet. The entire third floor is a spacious primary suite with high ceilings, triple casement windows, and a giant walk-in closet. Frosted windows provide plenty of light in the large primary bath, and there is a separate linen closet for this floor. The best part: interior spiral stairs lead to the large roof deck, and with no others immediately adjacent, its quite private. Bonus tip: The two-story stairwell gets fantastic light, and would make a great spot for plants or maybe a sweet yoga nook. The basement is partially finished and well lit with good ceiling height, adding significant extra living space for a gym, office setup, or hang out. Additionally there is plenty of storage and a nice laundry area in the rear. This location provides the peace and quiet you might crave after a long day, but is incredibly close to much of the action. Just a couple blocks to the South Street bridge, its an easy walk or bike ride to University City and Penn, CHOP, Drexel, 30th St Station, etc., or Rittenhouse Square and Center City in the other direction. Easy access to the Schuylkill Trail, Boardwalk, and Schuylkill River Park (and dog park!) offers many riverside options for fitness and leisure. Stop by and relaxwe welcome your visit!
