The CENTERfold: GradHospital, Gorgeous Views

I cover so many ridiculous, palatial manses on the CENTERfold that it can sometimes be easy to forget the fact that, sometimes, simplicity is the most attractive thing in the world.

Front door, directly on South Street!

I am over-the-moon crazy about 2508 South Street, located over in Graduate Hospital. It’s a roomy (almost 2,500 square feet!) 3-bed, 2.5-bath townhome nestled in the coveted Greenfield school district with a front door that opens directly on South Street and proximity to both Fitler and Rittenhouse Squares, in addition to the river.

Living room, with a few of its EIGHT windows!

This was the model home for the development, and consequently, no upgrade or customization was spared in the building: hardwood floors, the luxe kitchen lighting package, custom cabinets and kitchen island, raised storage in the GARAGE (hallelujah!), and a beautiful master bath with an upgraded shower and two separate vanities are all included.

Park your car and have room to spare in this roomy garage!

The open floor plan shows off every inch of that vast square footage, and 9-foot ceilings keep the living spaces airy and bright!

Tasteful, well-appointed kitchen!

One of my absolutely favorite features here is the private rooftop deck. At 22′ x 22′, it is both divinely spacious and deliciously cloistered, with breathtaking city views on all sides.

Your own slice of heaven is on the roof, with a spacious deck that opens up to the sky.

Speaking of city views, let’s talk the vistas from your front windows… all eight of them. Can you imagine waking up to this every morning? Both the family room and master bedrooms sport covered balconies to let the fresh air and sunshine in.

Without question, this is a million-dollar view.

As if you needed any further enticement, 2508 South Street touts a 10-year tax abatement, and the seller is willing to kick up a 1-year home warranty! This is in addition to the builder’s original warranty, which expires in November 2014. Having never been lived in, this lovely nest is just waiting for your family to call it home. The furnishings inside the home, used for display purposes, can be negotiated in the sale if you wish.

Buy the furniture, or bring your own.

This luscious townhome just took a modest price cut, and is listed for $814,800.
