The CENTERfold: Delight By Design
Today’s CENTERfold standout is one of my favorites yet!
Perched serendipitously on one of Center City’s hottest streets, 509 Delancey Street is a spacious nest bursting with both classic, homey charm and unexpected, avant-garde flair. The current owner is a trailblazer in Philly interior design, and the gracious, well-appointed flow of this 3,200 sq. ft. home is evidence of the same. With four bedrooms and three full baths plus two half baths, you’ll have ample room to roam.
Spacious, sophisticated, and gracious, this is a living room inspired by the good life.
You’ll be impressed right of the bat when you glimpse the combined living/dining space from the foyer, an open floor plan with a welcoming air. The kitchen is a knockout: big, modern (granite, new appliances), and made unique by frescoes reminiscent of a Tuscan countryside.
This is a kitchen that’s a feast for the eyes.
The entire second floor is a fantasy master suite, a space devoted entirely to comfort and beauty. This is a true retreat in every sense of the word. Ladies – or, at least, ladies sharing my own passionate love of shopping and all things beauty-related – will be beside themselves at the sight of the enormous walk-in closet and dressing room. Featuring a built-in countertop vanity that’s flooded by natural light as well as a sizable built-in shoe rack, you’ll never again run out of places to store your favorite heels.
BE STILL MY HEART.
One of the best aspects of this home is the fact that the living space is exceedingly flexible. The vast, finished basement just begs to be set up for a mother-in-law suite, or simply way more storage. The third floor’s arrangement of rooms lends itself sweetly to either ample bedrooms or office/home gym space. This house is ready to be made your own!
This is a retreat in the truest sense of the word.
Outside space is always a bonus in the concrete jungle, and this home boasts a small, enclosed yard that is just the right size for cooking out, cultivating a small garden, or an intimate dinner with friends on a spring evening.
A gorgeous decked patio on which to catch a cool breeze and watch the world go by.
509 Delancey is listed at $1,090,000. There’s an open house Sunday from 12 until 2 if you would like to come by and visit. Just know that this Society Hill stunner won’t last very long!
