Property Description

Transformed over nine years by an architect and interior designer duo, every corner of this Queen Village rowhome in the sought-after Meredith Catchment has been cleverly tailored to maximize function, optimize flow and elevate everyday living. Tall ceilings and pegged wood floors ground the bright, welcoming main level. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, framed by a striking custom charred Shou Sugi Ban surround that artfully conceals extra storage. The fully renovated kitchen features premium GE Café appliances and opens toward a private rear garden: a serene outdoor retreat complete with permeable pavers, landscape lighting and established perennials. Upstairs, new solid hardwood floors run throughout. A former oversized landing has been reimagined into a cozy library with space for a corner office or reading nook. The second-floor bedroom features clever built-in storage and a charming window seat designed for daydreaming. The second-floor bathroom brings everyday ease to household routines, with top-of-the-line Miele laundry appliances, generous counter space for folding and built-in shelving. Moving to the third floor, a motorized skylight above the stairway floods the path with natural light and fresh air. At the top, a sunlit bedroom complete with a custom cedar-lined double closet shares the level with the second full bathroom. A few steps from the front door and you’ll find yourself at the historic Fabric Row and 4th St commercial corridor. A few more steps will take you either to a lively South Street or the new expanding multi-use paths of the Delaware River Trail. Crafted with intention, this gem of a Queen Village home proves that a great house is not about square footage but about designing every inch to make any space live large.
