Description

Standing as a testament to the expert craftsmanship and rich history unique to Philadelphia, 132 Bainbridge St is a meticulously maintained and updated residence with distinctive architectural details throughout, abundant space, and a new 4th-floor addition designed for entertaining. This one-of-a-kind home offers 4 bedrooms + a study, 2 full and 3 half bathrooms, a finished basement, a private patio, a roof deck, multi-zone HVAC, placement within the Meredith School catchment, and 1 year of prepaid parking. The historic, tree-lined streets of Queen Village lead to the exterior's towering brick facade. Inside, a vestibule guides you to a main level that feels open yet retains defined spaces. A bright window and a gas fireplace anchor the living room, where detailed molding and millwork are on display. Original red pine floors extend past an archway with hidden closets into a large dining room. Intricate stained glass adorns a powder room door by the center staircase. At the rear, the sunlit kitchen has generous cabinetry, a full suite of appliances, granite counters, a tile backsplash, and a breakfast nook overlooking the secluded patio. This private outdoor space is ideal for gardening or relaxing with a morning cup of coffee. Up on the home's second level, the cozy study off the staircase is swathed in rich wood, boasting a fireplace and bay windows. Down the hall is a full bathroom and two bedrooms. The third level is dedicated to the primary suite. The main bedroom, situated on one end, has plenty of closets, while the other end features a large, bright dressing room with a convenient laundry closet. The closet system in the dressing room could be removed by the current owner and sold as a 4th bedroom. At the center is a spa-like full bathroom with dual vanities, LED mirrors, a multi-jet shower, a jacuzzi soaking tub, luxurious tile throughout, heated floors, and heated towel racks. Topping off the home is an open, airy, and modern addition with a wall of windows at both ends and tons of space to host family and friends. There's a Juliet balcony at the rear, a powder room, a kitchenette, and accordion doors that open to a front roof deck with an outdoor kitchen for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining and views of the city and bridge, perfect for holiday fireworks. Bonus living space is found in the finished basement, along with a half bathroom, another laundry closet, and storage. Utilities include central a/c, forced air, radiator heat, gas hot water, and gas cooking. In addition to everything inside, this sought-after location earns a near-perfect Walk Score of 98!
