Welcome to this classic Philadelphia townhome overlooking Cianfrani Park , where original details meet a thoughtfully arranged layout. Lush, self-watering window boxes adorn the traditional brick facade with marble base, topped by a decorative cornice. An enclosed vestibule with two points of entry creates a sheltered transition into the home, leading to a first floor organized around three distinct spaces: an entry area, a living or sitting area, and a dining area. A considered lighting plan helps define each space, while original parquet floors run throughout. In the living area, a decorative wood-burning stove set within a handsome mantelpiece serves as a focal point. At the rear, the eat-in kitchen blends practical features with inviting spaces for everyday living. Stainless steel appliances, natural cork flooring, a built-in gas cooktop with a commercial-grade ventilation hood, a wall-mounted oven, and open shelving for easy access to dishware make up the kitchen's functional core. A petite bar offers a convenient spot for morning coffee, while a cozy nook accommodates a breakfast table. The kitchen opens directly to a small backyard with room for a grill and container garden. A carpeted staircase with a landing leads to the second floor, where two bedrooms flank a three-piece hall bath. A library nook offers a quiet place to read or an inviting work-from-home space. The front bedroom features two closets and views of the park, while the rear bedroom enjoys southwestern exposure. The hall bath pairs a custom wood vanity with vintage tile surrounding the tub and shower. New hardwood flooring continues throughout the upper levels. The third floor is home to the primary bedroom, featuring hardwood floors, two large closets, and views over the park. The hall bathroom is thoughtfully arranged, with the sink and vanity area separate from the water closet and tiled stall shower, allowing two people to get ready comfortably at the same time. A sliding glass door from the hall opens onto a landing leading to the bi-level roof deck. With space for rooftop gardening, lounging, or dining, the deck includes a pergola-covered area and panoramic views of the Philadelphia skyline and surrounding rooftops, with the park's open green space stretching out below. The full basement houses the home's mechanical systems and laundry, with generous storage and ample room for a workshop or future projects. Bilco doors provide direct access to the front of the house. Life here extends well beyond the custom front door. Cianfrani Park is a beloved neighborhood gathering place, cared for by the active Friends of Cianfrani Park and local residents who contribute to its upkeep, beautification, and continued improvement. With further enhancements planned, the park reflects an ongoing community investment in the shared green space at the heart of the block. The surrounding neighborhood offers an appealing mix of independent businesses and local destinations. Fitzwater Café and Morning Glory are favorites for breakfast and brunch, while Chapterhouse and Rally offer welcoming spots for coffee. Angelo's is a go-to for South Philly pizza and sandwiches, and the shops and food markets of the Italian Market are close at hand. The South Street corridor is just steps away, while Palumbo Playground, with its playing fields and recreation center, is only a block farther. Located on a coveted quiet block, the home is also within the catchment for the popular Meredith Elementary School. Together, these nearby destinations capture the mix of neighborhood connection, local flavor, and city life that makes Bella Vista such a distinctive place to call home.
