About 1917 E Cumberland St

HERE’S A STUNNER: The personal family home of Philadelphia's celebrated design/build firm, Craftwork Home. This is a large 1880's rowhouse transformed into an architectural gem - where old and new come together for a showpiece of craft and comfort. The home is 2,000 sq.ft with 3 Bedrooms, 2 Full Baths, A/C, gorgeous old-growth wood floors, an extra den plus 2 dining areas and a lovely backyard. This home is among the greatest hits of East Kensington/Fishtown Architecture and can be your next place to call home. House is a short walk to Frankford Avenue, great coffee, vintage shops, and some of the best food & music in the City. The EL train is a few blocks away for quick access to Center City. 1ST FLOOR: Enter from set-back vestibule outside into a gorgeous space of warm wood, industrial steel, red brick, colorful fabrics, and great lighting. In the front: a built-in window seat for napping or reading surrounded by custom bookcases and nooks for plants. The original 19th Century mantlepiece sets the stage for entertaining, working or relaxing, and opens into the larger of 2 dining areas. Middle of second floor features more custom cabinetry and millwork transitioning to an inspiring kitchen. KITCHEN: Center island is surrounded by custom cabinetry, concrete counters, multiple nooks, stainless appliances, and a large chef’s gas range. On the left there are triple windows and river-rock accent at the floor. To the rear of the kitchen area - more built in storage and a 2nd dining area - framed by a large glass door overlooking the yard/garden. OUTSIDE: Large deck leads down to an open area large enough for grilling, entertaining and gardening, complete with mature trees and plantings. 2ND FLOOR: Front Bedroom (1 of 3) has two south facing windows and built-in oak closet/storage. 2nd Floor Middle is an open den - perfect for movies, reading, and conversations.
