1514 E Moyamensing Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19147

Property Description

The Crown Jewel of Moyamensing! Rarely does a residence of this scale and caliber become available in Pennsport, one of Philly's premier communities. 1514 E Moyamensing is a commanding 20-foot wide end-of-row 3 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath Estate, offering a level of breadth, artfulness and luxury that stand in a class of its own. While typical area rowhomes of this age measure 14-16 ' wide, this property’s uncommon 20-foot footprint and the soaring ceilings transforms the living experience. The main floor is a sun-drenched sanctuary featuring a modern open-concept flow anchored by a collection of high-end, artistic light fixtures (found throughout the house)--curated pieces that illuminate the space which is rich with 1930's character, including original exposed brick, transom window, restored spindle staircase and an artfully tiled hearth which preserves the home's vintage soul. The spacious airy gourmet kitchen features "counter space for days" with timeless white cabinetry and SS appliances. Through the kitchen's elegant French doors, discover a MULTILEVEL URBAN OASIS. An intimate, garden-style stone patio with a raised brick planter offers a secluded spot for morning coffee. From there, ascend to the pièce de résistance: a large raised composite sun deck perched atop your PRIVATE DETACHED GARAGE. This elevated "outdoor living room" provides rare privacy and an incredible space for sunset entertaining. Say goodbye to the South Philly parking struggle with detached garage boasting a private side entrance from the garage to the patio providing a secure way to bring groceries and bikes directly into your compound. The second level features three impressively spacious bedrooms with the standout room boasting soaring ceilings and a classic Juliet balcony that floods the space with natural light. All rooms have good storage and are served by a large, spa-inspired hall bathroom, complete with a Jacuzzi soaking tub and a separate glass-enclosed shower. One of the best most unexpected aspects of this home is its "subterranean speakeasy sanctuary"! Defying all rowhome expectations, the lower level features soaring ceilings and original hand-set fieldstone walls. This massive space, anchored by a brick-surround gas fireplace, is the ultimate media lounge, great room, or quiet retreat from the city (and don't forget, a perfect spot for your elaborate wine cellar!) All this and situated in a "walker's paradise," you are within three blocks of three iconic parks (including Dickinson Square) and steps from the city's best boutique coffee culture at Herman’s Coffee, Cake & Joe, Rebel & Wolf and more. 1514 E Moyamensing is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Pennsport history, reimagined for the modern connoisseur.
