About this home
Welcome home to this beautifully renovated four-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath townhome in the heart of Nicetown–Hunting Park, where classic character meets modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, the open front porch invites you to slow down, sip your morning coffee, and enjoy the neighborhood vibe.
Step inside the welcoming vestibule and through a stunning stained-glass door into a bright and spacious living room filled with natural light. Large windows with a built-in sitting area create the perfect spot to curl up with a good book, while the decorative fireplace with a new insert adds warmth, charm, and a cozy ambiance—ideal for relaxing evenings at home. Freshly stained hardwood floors flow effortlessly into the dining area, setting the stage for family meals, celebrations, and everyday moments.
The open kitchen is designed for both function and connection, offering plenty of space for a dining table or center island. Brand-new appliances—including a stove, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator—make cooking a joy. A convenient half bath and additional storage at the rear of the kitchen add thoughtful practicality to the space.
Upstairs, retreat to a peaceful second level where a full bathroom with a deep soaking tub and soft recessed lighting offers a spa-like escape. A generously sized rear bedroom provides flexibility as a primary suite or cozy den, while two additional bedrooms at the front of the home are filled with light and feature ample closet space. Each bedroom includes its own ceiling fan for year-round comfort.
The clean, full basement opens up endless possibilities—create a home gym, playroom, entertainment space, or simply enjoy the extra storage. Laundry hookups and a walk-out entrance lead to the rear yard, making indoor-outdoor living and entertaining effortless.
Move-in ready and thoughtfully updated, this home offers the warmth of timeless details with the ease of modern living. It’s more than a house—it’s the place where your next chapter begins. 💛...
