Imagine strolling down the most charming cobble-stone street, a canopy of lush blooms and greenery overhead, birdsong in the air. Latimer St. is a cozy, buffered microcosm of calm, nestled in the very midst of vibrant Rittenhouse Square. And suddenly, you find yourself, home. And this is no ordinary home. This is a very special home, crafted with thoughtful detail to elevate modernity while preserving its historic integrity. This truly beautiful two bedroom, two bath residence is compact but mighty, feeling far more spacious than its square footage. The main live space is comfortable and bright, with original moldings, custom lighting and gorgeous hardwood floors. The large southern-facing window provides a peak outside to the quaint patio. Adjacent, a fully equipped urban kitchen with crisp white cabinetry with plentiful storage, granite counters, stainless appliances, radiant-heated stone floor, and a cool grey backsplash. One step outside to a sunlit patio, perfect for morning cappuccino, a vertical herb garden, mobile open-air work space, and dining under the stars. The stair to the second floor has a beautiful turn to it, flanked by a modern iron rail. The main hall on floor two offers a lovely colorful view outside from the niche window to the trees in full bloom on Latimer, and there is continuity to the wonderful hardwood flooring on this level of the home. A comfortable bedroom boasts great closet space, built-in shelving, and a fabulous chink of bloom outside. An en-suite full bath with pedestal sink, walk-in shower, ceramic floor, and large bright window complete this level of the home. Up one final flight to the spacious primary suite. A perhaps unexpected surprise, this bedroom suite is extremely large yet cozy, boasting built-in shelving/storage and a very special triple window wall framing the pink chink beyond. Ample closet space and yes, that stunning hardwood flooring. The en-suite bath features a double-wide shower, stone floor, built-in shelving for linen, and a large bright window. The rooftop is currently accessible from the primary suite, and offers an amazing future opportunity for a roofdeck with stunning Rittenhouse views! Key updates to the home include recent stucco work, removal of knob and tube wiring, newer appliances, and a new basement Steelway door through which laundry is accessed. 2032 Latimer is a genuine pearl. The real deal. In the heart of the dynamic Rittenhouse neighborhood and a mere two blocks from the Square, surrounded by an electric city dining scene (celebrated Friday Saturday Sunday is just around the corner!), boutique shops (The amazing Sugary AT your corner!), endless outdoor activities, easy access to Fitler Square Park and the Schuylkill River Trail, University City, and major travel routes..... it's the place to be. An extraordinary opportunity to move right in and make this gem, home.
