614 W JOHNSON STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19144

$379,900

A real oasis in the city! 614 W Johnson St is in Blue Bell Hill, a neighborhood perfectly positioned between Wissahickon Park and Clifford Park, and easily accessible to favorite spots in nearby neighborhoods of Mt Airy, Manayunk, and East Falls. The house itself is very charming with built in… Read More niches, Scandinavian design influence, and a huge picture window to easily view the nature in the beautiful backyard, making it feel like a seamless extension of the indoor space. Directly inside the front door is a dedicated entry space with built in storage and tons of light from the new Andersen windows. The Scandinavian influence can be seen throughout the main level in the natural wood finishes on the window sills and stair rail, exposed beams, and priority of natural light. A convenient half bath off the dining area has its own charm with beadboard and classic hex tile flooring. The kitchen is large with plenty of storage in the white shaker cabinets, soapstone counters, and black stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms - one to the front of the house and two railroad-style bedrooms to the rear. The front bedroom is the largest, and has a ceiling fan and closet. The two rear bedrooms are connected and could be used as two separate spaces, such as a bedroom + office, bedroom + playroom, or two bedrooms; or function as a combined owner's suite with a separate sitting room area or walk in closet. There are large closets with sliding doors built into the hallway, which are perfect storage for the rear bedrooms, linen closet, or otherwise. Completing the second level is the full bath with shower, white tiling in classic subway and hex shapes, built in shelf storage, and a privacy glass block window with wooden display shelf, perfect for plants! Speaking of plants, the exterior of the house is just as stunning. In the rear, the rain garden is home to birch trees (another Scandinavian nod), red bud trees, hydrangeas (including one that has grown from a clipping of a 100 year old hydrangea!), salvia (a favorite of hummingbirds), hostas, day lilies, irises, and many native plants. You can add your own touch in the raised bed planters made from old timbers. All of this can be enjoyed from the covered patio, even in the rain! Not to be outdone, the front of the home also has plenty of curb appeal with its own garden space, lime washed brick, cedar siding, and restored historic cornice. This labor of love is ready for its next steward! Read Less
