Description

Welcome to this one-of-a-kind stone carriage house, thoughtfully transformed into a stunning modern residence. Originally built in the 1870s, the home underwent a complete renovation in 2019. Located on one of Roxborough’s most sought-after streets, this home offers the perfect balance of quiet neighborhood charm and unbeatable access to all that the city has to offer. Step inside from the beautifully inlaid stone walkway and mature landscaping to an expansive open-concept living room and kitchen, filled with natural light and recessed lighting throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper, featuring a large island, quartzite solid natural stone countertops, custom solid white maple cabinetry, and high-end, restaurant-grade appliances. The cozy formal dining room, with its exposed stone wall and direct access to the deck, is perfect for entertaining. A built-in storage room and powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs, rustic barn doors open to a stunning primary suite with a dressing room, wood-burning fireplace, and spa-like ensuite bath with Italian marble. A second ensuite bedroom and a convenient laundry area complete the second level. The third floor offers a flexible loft space—ideal for a home office or playroom—another bedroom, a full bath, and generous storage. Gorgeous oak hardwood floors flow throughout the home, and outside, the fenced-in yard offers a private escape with a raised deck and stone patio—perfect for gatherings or peaceful relaxation. Originally constructed as a carriage house in the 19th century, this historic gem has been reimagined with meticulous care, combining its rich legacy with the comfort and elegance of contemporary living. Ideally situated within walking distance of scenic Wissahickon Valley Park trails, Gorgas Park, and the growing dining, shopping, and café scene along both Main Street in Manayunk and Ridge Avenue in Roxborough. Quick access to Center City via car, train, or bus makes commuting a breeze. This is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Schedule your private tour today!
