About this home
A truly distinctive Bella Vista residence where historic character, thoughtful design, and modern efficiency come together. Located on a beautiful block, 726 Catharine Street is a spectacular 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom end-of-row home offering approximately 2,100 square feet of beautifully designed living space plus an exceptionally large private yard. From the restored brick façade to the carefully preserved original details inside, this home strikes a rare balance between old and new. The sun-filled first floor welcomes you with refinished original parquet floors and an open, inviting layout. The custom kitchen is a standout, featuring natural black slate tile, sleek cabinetry extending to the ceiling, an original exposed-brick backsplash, exposed plaster, and high-end Bosch and Liebherr appliances. Reclaimed tropical hardwood countertops add warmth and character, while a dramatic bay window and glass doors provide an abundance of natural light and open directly to the expansive rear yard—an exceptional amenity in the heart of the city. Throughout the home, custom built-ins, storage, and stair railings crafted from locally sourced reclaimed pine complement the original refinished staircases. Upstairs, original maple flooring has been beautifully restored and paired with thoughtfully selected finishes. The second floor is home to the spacious primary suite, complete with a luxurious custom bath featuring natural slate tile, a frameless glass shower, original claw-foot soaking tub, and a one-of-a-kind vanity crafted from a salvaged Mid-Century Modern credenza. An open den/entertaining space on this level features a balconette, glass doors, and a convenient powder room, with the flexibility to convert the space into a fifth bedroom if desired. The third floor offers three additional well-proportioned bedrooms and a beautifully appointed full bathroom with custom vanity and lighting, blue subway tile, and polished gold fixtures. Beyond its striking design, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded for comfort and efficiency, including spray-foam insulation, energy-efficient windows and appliances, LED lighting, high-efficiency water heating, a plumbing manifold system, and Fujitsu mini-split heating and cooling. With its exceptional craftsmanship, abundant natural light, flexible floor plan, and rare oversized yard, 726 Catharine Street is a special opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind home in Bella Vista. Just a stone's throw from neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shops, parks, and everything that makes this one of Philadelphia’s most sought-after neighborhoods....
