About this home
Welcome to your dream home nestled in the heart of Passyunk Square, overlooking Columbus Square Park. 1205 Wharton Street was professionally redesigned in 2017 and features sophisticated, reimagined spaces by (re)work Architecture & Design. This meticulously rehabbed 5 Bedroom/2.5 Bathroom offers an expansive 2,918 sq ft of living space, three private outdoor spaces, and a coveted tax abatement. Step inside to discover a beautifully designed open floor plan that provides the perfect setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level opens to a bright and inviting space and features gorgeous red oak hardwood floors that run throughout the home. The stunning eat-in kitchen, a chef's delight, was masterfully designed by (re)work Architecture & Design. It features an abundance of high-end cabinetry, premium countertops, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, a built-in banquette with integrated storage, a breakfast bar, and a timeless herringbone backsplash. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the private backyard/patio with built-in garden planters, perfect for al fresco dining and a quiet morning coffee. A convenient powder room rounds out the first floor.
The 5 generously sized bedrooms are spread across the second and third floors, providing ample space for relaxation, guests, or a dedicated home office. Intentionally designed layouts maximize comfort and privacy. The 2 full bathrooms have been tastefully updated with contemporary fixtures and finishes, offering a spa-like retreat. For ultimate convenience, the washer and dryer are thoughtfully located on the second floor, close to bedrooms. Your private outdoor space continues with a 3rd-floor balcony and your very own roof deck, your private perch above the city, boasting breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Columbus Square greenery and Center City skyline.
The basement offers a versatile 512 sq ft space, finished with durable and attractive tile flooring, ideal for a recreation room, home gym, or media center. There is also an accessible utility room with a sump pump, plumbers sink, and spacious crawl space storage.
This home is as smart as it is beautiful. Modern conveniences include a two-zoned HVAC system with smart thermostats, a tankless water heater, high-definition video surveillance, a smart doorbell, and high-speed network connections wired to every room.
Situated in one of Philadelphia’s most celebrated neighborhoods, your front door is just steps from one of the city’s most desirable elementary schools with a renowned music program, as well as a dog park, playgrounds, and community events at Columbus Square. You are moments away from East Passyunk Avenue's "Restaurant Row," home to award-winning dining, charming cafes, independent boutiques, and the famous Italian Market. This is not just a home; it's access to a lifestyle of unparalleled convenience and vibrancy.
