181 KALOS ST, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19128

When it comes to houses, it is the details that matter most. How the house sits on the land; its orientation; the proportions of the rooms; the flow from one room to the next; the details in the trim work; the height of the ceilings. This precious row in Roxborough, on the edge of Manayunk, differentiates itself with its details. The windowed transom over the front door; the beautiful, graceful arches over the first and second floor windows; the rare enclosed foyer that keeps the main part of the house private; the marble mantelpiece in the living room; and the carved woodwork and doors throughout. The details, that are often overlooked at first glance, are what make this house feel different, and, frankly, make it better. Enter the house up marble steps to a tiled foyer. Once inside, you walk through an interior doorway that leads to the stairway, and to the living room to the right. Through an archway enter the dining room, which has its own glass door to the outside. Continuing to the back of the house is the updated kitchen, the laundry area, and a full bath. You can exit the house to the back garden from the back of the house. Upstairs are three light-filled bedrooms and a newly renovated bathroom. The current owners have done lots of good work, such as the installation of solar panels, new storm drain, second floor bathroom renovation, new electric water heater, new heat pump in 2023, new siding and roof overhang, and silver coating of the roof. Make this charming house your own, and enjoy the benefits of all the upgrades and efficiencies made over the past few years. Great location on a quiet street, with easy access to Ridge Ave and all that has to offer, plus Kelly Drive for recreation, train station, and more.
