Property Description

Welcome home to this one of kind West Philly artisan paradise! A well known Philadelphia artist's labor of love for almost 20 years, this classic Victorian twin takes unique to a whole new level. Walking up the nostalgic tree lined street and making your way to the front porch you'll notice a side path bordered with beautifully manicured raised plant beds leading to the fenced in side lot which is separately deeded and included with this sale (lot may not be accounted for in online price estimates). The yard features large custom rock sculptures bordering the property creating a true urban oasis with sections carved for plant beds, caves, custom lounging, and even areas designed for waterfalls. Upon entering the front door you will immediately realize this is not your typical West Philadelphia property. Though many original details are kept, the creative customization that was poured into this home sets it aside from the rest. The vestibule itself has been expanded for ease of entrance. Through the door to your right you'll find what is currently used as a first floor bedroom with custom shelving and closet space as well as the first of two non working fireplaces. This could easily be used as a private den with the addition of french doors to open up the space or converted back to a full open living room. Continuing on we come to our first taste of the tranquility that is the soul of this home. We find the first of two large bay windows carefully crafted into a cozy sitting area nestled within the surrounding rock sculptures that seem to mimic the view of the side yard. This motif continues with the first floor's half bath embedded in its own stone formation. As we pass through the custom built mini library and rock sculpted archway we enter into the home's alluring living space and kitchen area. Designed using elements of feng shui with custom seating, shelving, rock sculptures, and an array of windows this space feels like an extension of the outdoor sanctuary with spectacular views and uninhibited sunlight trickling over every new nook and cranny you discover. Hidden behind this living space is a secret room perfect for private escape or possibly even a curious couchsurfing destination. The first floor was also framed out and completely insulated allowing for even heating throughout the home. Onto the second floor we continue to find there is nothing "typical" about this house. Each of the three bedrooms on this level feature custom renovations both practical and compelling including customized shelving, a front bay window work space, walk in closets, and the second fireplace with original details. Finishing off the second floor, the full bath has been renovated to the eccentricity of this home with a glass enclosed shower, shelving, a built in book stand for your bathroom reading needs, and a planter recessed right into the sink countertop. Making our way up to the third floor we find the added bonus of an in-law suite including a full kitchen, full bath and its own private entrance from the rear of the house as well as access from the second floor. This can be used as a two bedroom unit or set up for one of the bedrooms to serve as a larger living area. With its own electric service, this space can easily be rented out cutting your home expenses significantly. Other details include original hardwood floors, new windows, roof regularly re-coated, attic space, updated electric, built up side yard at the front of the house for maximum privacy, and endless detailed nuances awaiting your discovery. The side lot ensures the open feel of this home with no building immediately infringing upon it will always be yours and allows for so much potential in making this your very own outdoor haven. The combined lot size is 42' by 92.5' totaling 3,886 sq. ft. Please look through pictures, video, 3D tour, and blueprints before scheduling your tour and seizing this opportunity to live your Utopian dream in this West Philly wonderland.
