325 S HICKS ST Philadelphia, PA 19102

This historic Rittenhouse home situated on a quaint side street is deceivingly large, mainly due to the smart additions made by a past owner, bringing the total square footage close to 1,800. Enter into the large open living/dining room with high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors and charming display niches and built-in shelving. This awesome entertainment space leads to the just-renovated kitchen complete with all-new everything: wood flooring, new appliances, new windows and a crisp white subway tile backsplash. You'll love the exposed red brick and abundant natural light. Open the kitchen door to discover the back patio, ideal for grilling out in warm summer months. On the second floor you'll find a large front bedroom with beautiful custom oak doors and woodwork, recessed lighting and good closets for a home this age, and a tastefully updated, period-appropriate bathroom with classic white beadboard. There is also an incredibly bright sunroom/drawing room in the rear, and an open-landing study that could easily be converted back to a private bedroom. Straight stairs lead up to a dramatic loft space with vaulted ceiling with skylight, en suite bathroom and sliding glass doors opening to a large, brand-new roof deck with striking views of the neighboring architecture. The basement also boasts tall ceilings and could be finished to add value and flex space. This quiet little stretch of Hicks Street is less than a block from the Kimmel Center and some of the best restaurants, retail and nightlife in the city.
