3 BEDROOMS - 2 BATHROOMS - 1,632 FINISHED SQ FT

Location. Style. Comfort. History. Green Space. 621 Lombard has it all. Located in Washington Square West near its borders with Society Hill, Queen Village, and Bella Vista, amenities abound in every direction. Entering the property off of a tree-lined block, directly across from Starr Garden Park, you will pass through the kind of historic brick facade that one thinks about when they think about Philadelphia. Closing the classic six-panel door behind you, a warm, inviting interior awaits. The living level perfectly balances the warmth and charm of a historic property with the functionality and finishes of a contemporary home. A gracious living space with foliage filtered natural light is focused around a historic fireplace rebuilt to accommodate a modernized and efficient wood-burning insert. Original pine flooring flows from the front door through the kitchen and dining areas to the rear of the home. The fireplace wall is flanked by built-ins including a coat closet and a mirrored cabinet with a shelf to drop your keys, purse, or wallet. A lovely and well-designed kitchen is another highlight of the first floor. A carrara marble peninsula with seating for two is flanked by an original brick arch with built-in cabinetry and shelving. The L-shaped kitchen with white Shaker-style cabinets, marble tile backsplash in a herringbone pattern, and black granite counters highlight the high-quality stainless steel appliances. Opposite the kitchen is a cushioned dining banquette surrounded by open shelving and built-in pantry cabinetry that greatly increases the kitchen storage area. There is an adjacent door down to the basement where you will find a washer and dryer, ample storage, and bilco doors offering direct access to the street. Beyond the kitchen, through a pair of modern black French doors, is one of the highlights of the property: A 500 square foot beautifully landscaped private oasis. Featuring shade trees and mature plantings, mulched beds and pavers, there is plenty of room for dining, grilling, wood storage, and entertaining. The second floor offers two well-proportioned bedrooms with more lovely old pine floors, crown molding, and paneling details, in addition to an abundance of natural light. The bedrooms flank a hall bath featuring a subway tiled tub and shower surround, and a bright blue tiled sink surround and flooring. The 3rd-floor owners' suite is exceptional. On the south side of the house is a spacious gabled ceiling bedroom with built-in cabinetry for surfaces and storage on either side of the bed. Opposite the bed are a pair of closets flanking the television niche. On the north side of the floor is a changing area with additional closet space, and an extraordinary bathroom with floor-to-ceiling white subway tile, Portuguese-inspired floor tiles, a frameless glass walk-in shower with dual shower heads, and a long double vanity surmounted by a double-wide mirrored medicine chest. All of this in a location that is within a 15-minute walk to the Avenue of the Arts, Chinatown, Old City, Passyunk Avenue, and the Italian Market. There is also a Whole Foods just a few blocks away. The property is being offered with one-year pre-paid parking at the Pennsylvania Hospital Garage just two blocks away on Delancey between 7th and 8th.
