Welcome to 602 S Front located in the Queen Village neighborhood of Philadelphia and home to the blue-ribbon Meredith Elementary school. This turnkey home features 3 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, an oversized cook's country kitchen and garage parking. Located on a section of south front with unobstructed Delaware River water views providing for magnificent sunrises, gardens and grassy areas (that you don't have to mow) for kids and the dog and plenty of permit parking. Within the near future you will have across the street access to Penn's Landing and a short walk to the "new park development" over I-95. This will be a game changer. This bricked front home started out as a trinity and was expanded over the years and was even featured back in 2005 on HGTV as a "good deal" in Philadelphia. The oversized entry features custom wainscotting that flows all the way into the dining room and kitchen, tiled floors, a large coat closet along with inside access to a 1 car garage with extra room for storage. Down the hall is the elevator that services all 4 floors and access to the basement which provides extra use for storage. The rear of the home features an enormous cook's country kitchen with 10' ceilings, wood beams and numerous skylights. This was designed by the current owner as her haven. The tiled floors are radiant heated for extra comfort. The custom cabinetry in soft beige tones is completed by custom pewter pulls, Volga Blue Tropical granite, stainless steel appliances featuring Subzero, Thermador and Miele. A large island is fitted out with a farmhouse sink and plenty of workspace. Off to the side, there is a coffee station, an area perfect for a home office with storage and built-in desk. A custom China Cabinet with buffet completes the kitchen experience. All the cabinets have lighting that illuminate the interiors and work areas. The large dining room is adjacent. A bar area and powder room complete this level. This could also function as a large open concept living area with seating and dining. It's that big. Moving along up the center staircase to the 2nd floor where you'll find an east facing living room with custom built- ins, hardwood floors and river views. The first bedroom suite is towards the rear and features a large, carpeted bedroom with an oversized walk-in closet and full ensuite bath with white tile and black stone accents. There is also a full laundry room with a custom unit for folding and a hanging area plus additional storage. The 3rd level features the primary suite with hardwood floors, built-in window benches with storage below and bookshelves, a sumptuous spa-like bath with his/her sinks and oversized shower featuring stone and glass accents. A large walk-in closet completes this space. Another carpeted bedroom with 2 large closets (one a walk-in) and full bath completes this level. The 4th floor features a vaulted ceiling, built-in bar area, sitting area and game room area. The finishing touch is a wall of windows giving you a full water view from the Walt Whitman bridge to the Ben Franklin bridge and a front seat for the fireworks. Off the rear is a spacious deck for relaxing and watching the sunsets. This home was renovated with the finest finishes including speakers throughout, customized closets in every bedroom, pewter door handles, beautiful light fixtures and energy efficient recessed lighting. No detail was overlooked. A newer gas fired HVAC was recently installed as well. Perfectly located and within walking distance to the year-round farmer's market at Headhouse Sq and to all of our city landmarks, waterfront activities including the new I-95 Park Cap which is scheduled to break ground in September and some of the best restaurants in the city. And easy access to I-95 and 676.
