Property Description
At 1631 W Porter, you'll find a generous offering of space and style, located on one of the main streets between the historic Girard Estates and the South Broad Corridor. Enter the charming entrance vestibule from marble-tread front steps and let yourself into the substantial living space. The 16 foot width of this property provides ample room for your large furniture and entertaining. You'll find plenty of sun in this bright south-facing room though the front bay window, shedding light on the chic dark wood floors. Just beyond is the heart of this house. Designed by the owner, a renowned chef, the cooking space is a delight and the dining space can seat 10 people. Large format stone ceramic tile flooring allows easy clean-up; coupled with the decorative backsplash, you get a touch of the Mediterranean charm found in southern Italy. You will find plenty of storage in dark stained wood cabinetry; ample granite counters; and stainless stove, deluxe hood, new dishwasher, and large Frigidaire refrigerator making a perfect kitchen to really cook in! A compact half-bath is tucked off to one side. Open the back door to the airy patio, giving you a charming outdoor space and clear access through the gate to the rear easement, allowing speedy access to the street. Warm wooden stairs and railing lead up to the large second floor. In the front, is the sizeable master bedroom offering not only a standard closet, but a complete wardrobe for all your clothes. The large private ensuite bath features a walk-in shower with a built-in seat. Down the hall, you'll find the second well-appointed full bath, complete with soaking-tub and built-in shelf storage. Just beyond is the cozy middle bedroom and the larger quiet rear bedroom. Stylish dark-wood floors run through the entire upstairs, and each bedroom has a ceiling fan for superb airflow to supplement the central HVAC. The finished basement is your perfect bonus space, outfitted in large easy to maintain ceramic tile and featuring the home's third full bath with its stylish decorative tiled walk-in shower. At 1631 Porter, you'll not only enjoy high-end finishes at a reasonable value, but you ll be steps from the classic, tree-lined Girard Estates community. Just blocks from Oregon Station on the Broad Street Line and The Stephen Girard Park, a lovely renovated green space with Girard's 18th century estate, Gentilhommerie. Enjoy local shops, such as Cacia's or Potito's Bakeries, along with other quintessential old-world food stops, hardware stores, and pharmacies. One of South Philadelphia's best Italian BYOB restaurants, L'Angolo, is just two blocks east on Porter. Enjoy some of the best residential charm South Philadelphia has to offer at 1631 W Porter!
