Property Description
A testament to meticulous ownership, artistic restoration and conservation, 1434 South 21st Street brings a rare opportunity to enjoy stunning, original character and fine historic detail in the very heart of Point Breeze. The splendor starts from the sidewalk: look up to see the expertly restored original brick facade, look down to see the beautiful tile on the landing. Natural light is maximized through the Renewal by Andersen glass front door and oversized windows, and when you pause in the foyer, take a moment to appreciate the carved slate walls and honeyed tones of the restored oak floors with contrasting walnut inlays. Original and vintage-reclaimed materials in the railings and moldings combine with modern built-in shelves and cabinets to provide the perfect combination of beauty and convenience. As you are drawn toward the light flooding into the kitchen through 8' french doors, take note of the main floor bathroom that inconspicuously separates the dining/living room areas from the rear of the home. In the kitchen you are struck by a floor to ceiling ghost sign painted onto the neighboring house close to 150 years ago. The sign was uncovered by the current homeowners and incorporated into the kitchen design. (More info is available about the 19th century PT Hallahan Shoe Factory the sign advertises). It seems unlikely that this home could have even more incredibly valuable features....but then you notice the absolutely enormous yard, with a huge brick patio facing an urban oasis: a garden paradise, complete with organic orchard and mature perennial garden. You will be able to harvest your dinner and eat your meal overlooking the lovingly curated garden. Coming back into the house you might now notice that the spacious kitchen has lovely features, like a gleaming butcher block, coordinating drawer pulls, and a counter built out of reclaimed old growth lumber. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are sized properly for use as actual bedrooms! (But feel free to imagine a home office or gym, too.). Slide the oversized antique florentine glass door of the 2nd floor bath to reveal gorgeous (and under floor heated!) Fireclay Tile ‘Aegean Sea' blue floor tile and white tile lined walls. Mini-split ductless cooling adds the luxury of air conditioning throughout the home, and radiators provide the heat, maximizing climate control efficiency. What you can't see are the layers of rockwool insulation behind the walls and 2nd floor ceilings that provide extra energy efficiency. The basement is large, dry and freshly painted, providing tons of storage. It's an honor to bring this extraordinary home to the Philadelphia market, even though it surely won't be available for long - so book a showing ASAP!
