Property Description
A one-of-a-kind house in a spectacular location with garage parking - 2119 Fitzwater St has it all! Tucked away on a tree-lined block in Philly's Graduate Hospital neighborhood, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, 3-story light-filled home with beautiful hardwood floors throughout is overflowing with charm and character. A tiled vestibule with exposed brick walls and natural wood chair rails welcomes you into the first level. The all-important 1-car extra-deep garage can be accessed from here and can accommodate longer vehicles or provide extra space for storage, workout equipment, bikes, etc. At the back of the garage is a utility room with a lockable steel door, which has a large sink, workbench, and access to a crawl space with even more room for storage. Stepping up from the garage, you will find a large bedroom and ensuite that could be used as a den/media room or office. Natural light pours in from the large windows and sliding glass doors that lead to the backyard. This wide and deep secluded outdoor space, completely redone in the Fall of 2019, feels like an oasis in the middle of the city. With trees acting as natural shade and plenty of room to entertain, relax, or garden, this is sure to become your hangout spot on good weather days. Back inside, a center staircase takes you up to the main living area where tall ceilings, recessed lighting, and tons of natural light create a bright, relaxing atmosphere. To the left of the staircase is a large modern kitchen with maple shaker style cabinets, stainless steel appliances, grey quartz countertops, and a designer backsplash. A convenient peninsula provides extra storage and is perfect for bar stool seating. As on the lower level, natural light pours in from two large windows and sliding glass doors. These doors lead to a covered balcony with space for a cafe table and chairs, perfect for your mourning cup of Joe! On the other side of the staircase are the dining area and updated powder room. Exposed brick walls add to the charm of this space. A large living room drenched in sunlight from two large windows and a cozy gas fireplace complete this level. Upstairs are two huge bedrooms, each with hardwood floors, generous closet space, and tall bright windows. A laundry closet and a spa-like bathroom with double vanity, rainfall showerhead, and Italian tile shower surround finish this level. In addition to all this home has to offer, this location can not be beaten! This home is only a few blocks away from Rittenhouse Square and the Schuylkill River Trail. Nearby shopping includes GIANT Heirloom Market, Unleashed by Petco, Fine Wine & Good Spirits, and CVS. Nearby eateries include Honeys Sit-N-Eat, Ants Pants Cafe, and Grace Tavern, just to name a few of the most popular ones. You will never run out of local neighborhood spots to explore. There is quick access to I-76, and SEPTA bus routes make getting around super easy. Plus, the University of Pennsylvania is only a 15-minute walk away.
