714 Pierce St, Philadelphia, PA 19148

Description

From the outside, this home appears to be your typical pristine 2-story Philadelphia rowhouse; however, its highly efficient floor plan offers far more living space than meets the eye. The thoughtful design features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a flexible den/exercise room/office, and a large private patio surrounded by neighborhood greenery and natural light. A major renovation completed in 2017 included 100% new plumbing, electrical, flooring, and roof, plus full insulation for enhanced energy efficiency and acoustic privacy. Ideally situated in the highly desirable Passyunk Crossing neighborhood. The open-concept first floor provides an expansive feel and seamless flow from the living and dining areas into the kitchen, highlighting wide-plank grey wood floors and 3-inch dimmable recessed lighting. The spacious kitchen island includes a Bertazzoni Professional oven, GE cooktop, and generous counter seating for family and entertaining. Premium granite countertops, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and handsome cabinetry complete the chef's kitchen. A stylish staircase with a custom steel railing leads to the second floor, which houses 2 comfortable bedrooms and a fully tiled bathroom complete with a sumptuous 6-foot extra-deep soaking tub, double vanity, shower panel with a rain shower head, and multiple independently controlled body sprays. The upper-level bedrooms also feature a conveniently located full-size stacked washer and dryer. The finished basement expands your living space with extra high ceilings, an additional bedroom (featuring a code-compliant egress window), a sleek full bath with a walk-in shower, and a versatile second room ideal for a home gym or office. This finished bonus level can become a private guest suite when needed. Located just steps away from Bok, East Passyunk Avenue, multiple parks, schools, public transit, and the vibrant array of dining, nightlife, and cafes that make this neighborhood thrive, and only a short trip away from the Philadelphia International Airport. Then finally, the cherry on top is the 10-year tax abatement in effect to the end of December 2027!
