Description
Welcome to 2238 Fitzwater St.—a classic Philadelphia townhouse with 4 generous bedrooms and tons of character, boasting an ideal layout for entertaining and family relaxation. From the moment you step through the front door into the old-world foyer, you’ll feel the warmth and charm this residence has to offer. Walk through the double doors with antique hardware and stained glass into the main living area with a gas fireplace, reclaimed random-width hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, elegant crown molding, and bay window—a gracious room that lends itself beautifully to many configurations and living styles. Continue past the coveted ½ bath and coat closet to the huge kitchen with breakfast counter, exposed brick, and loads of counter space. Hosting large crowds won’t be a problem with built-in double ovens and storage galore. Open the sliding glass doors to extend your living space onto the brick patio, with beautiful plantings and a tall privacy fence that help to provide a serene outdoor retreat with an automated awning for shade when needed. On the second floor, you’ll find a nicely sized bedroom/office; a laundry room with a folding counter, sink, and storage; a spacious hall bathroom with separate tub and a stall shower; and another large bedroom with a wall of custom closets. On the third floor, find two equally large bedrooms: one with a bay window and built-ins and the other with deep window ledges, custom closets, and it’s own access to another full bathroom (this one with a steam shower). A turned staircase takes you up to the fantastic, totally private roof deck with bar, refrigerator, and unobstructed City views. Finally, head down to the partially finished basement (perfect for an office, gym, or playroom) with a street-level window, built-ins, tile floor, and ceiling with exposed beams. The back half of the basement is clean and unfinished, leaving plenty of additional storage space. Hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and an integrated whole-house sound system are just a few highlights. Location is everything: a stone’s throw to several grocery stores, amazing restaurants and coffee shops, the City’s best parks, fantastic schools, walkable to University City and the train station, and a quick drive to the airport. A commuter’s dream that offers unparalleled access and ease. All offers to be presented by 5:00 pm on Tuesday, April 23rd.

I was impressed with the “vibe” of Graduate Hospital - people of different ages and ethnicities, young families and people who have lived there for over 30 years. There are shops, restaurants and bars all within walking distance and the Marian Anderson rec center that was refurbished through donations from the neighborhood! It’s safe, easy to get almost anywhere in the city. I would highly recommend living here. "
