1711 S Bancroft Street

Philadelphia, PA 19145

Artistic, creative, cool - two-story townhouse on an intimate, low-traveled street in the heart of the Newbold neighborhood. Classic marble stoop graces the front of the original 19th c. brick facade with arching marble lintels. Cork tiled vestibule entry provides a transition from outside into the open plan living and dining room. This big space has great flow for entertaining and offers oak hardwood floors, recessed lighting and a bespoke built-in bookcase. Anything but boring kitchen here with an eclectic mix of finishes and detail from pine and cork flooring to exposed bricks and tongue and groove beadboard. Oak cabinets and open shelving are offset by marble subway tiles and reclaimed shiplap. Modern stainless appliances and ~green" Paperstone countertops make this an awesome kitchen for some serious cooking. A nine panel glazed door leads to the breezeway and bricked back yard with privacy fence making it the perfect place for your container garden or for grilling and hanging out in front of the chiminea. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms, the rear bedroom has built-in shelves backed with painted shiplap, a wood veneer overhead light and bamboo flooring which continues into the hall. The middle bedroom has original pine floors and includes the free standing closet. The large front master bedroom overlooks Bancroft street and has bamboo floors, a modern ceiling fan and good sized closet with sliding door. The retro hall bath is wrapped in crisp subway tiles with a custom stall shower and mosaic accent tiles. There is a linen closet in the hall. The basement provides tons of additional storage space, the laundry station, and the home~s mechanicals. Nice, quiet block in one of the city~s burgeoning neighborhoods. This excellent location is a "walker~s paradise with excellent transit options and very bikeable.~ Just 2 blocks to the Tasker-Morris subway station and easy access across Broad Street to the restaurant scene and vibrancy of East Passyunk.
