330 Monroe St, Philadelphia, PA 19147

Three of Philadelphia's first-ever Michelin-recognized restaurants are within a one block radius of this front door. A James Beard award winning sushi chef is a four minute walk the other way. Meredith, the highest ranked elementary school in the Philadelphia school district, is close enough to walk to on a coffee break. That's Monroe Street on a Tuesday - a quiet, tree-lined side street where the original brick facades and ornate cornices do the talking. Inside, the layout actually makes sense. Walk in at street level to a living room that runs a full 11 by 13, anchored by a fireplace that gives the space some character and warmth that a fresh renovation usually takes out. Head back through the stair hall to the eat-in kitchen: white shaker cabinets with stainless steel appliances. It opens straight onto an 11 by 9 patio out back. Upstairs, each bedroom gets its own floor and its own bath. Not a shared hall bath split between two rooms, which is how most rowhouse layouts around...
