JULIE ELLIS HALL

Description

Sleek, spacious, and stunning—welcome to 420 Kingsley Street, where smart design meets effortless style in one of Philadelphia’s most dynamic neighborhoods. This end-unit townhome commands attention from the curb with its bold black brick façade, modern paneling, and vibrant blue front door—a striking welcome to a home that’s equally impressive inside. Step into the bright, open-concept living space where natural light pours in through oversized, wide-trimmed windows and a glass slider that frames lush greenery. Rich hardwood floors stretch throughout the main level, complemented by elegant crown molding, bullnose corners, and built-in speakers that blend form with function. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated—from the upgraded trim work to the sleek iron stair railing that leads you upstairs. The kitchen is a true showstopper. Outfitted with shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, GE stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and a large dining counter, it's a space designed for both daily living and weekend entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a conveniently placed powder room adds ease for guests—but the real bonus lies just beyond the sliding glass doors: a newly installed 14x16 Trex deck. This elevated outdoor space is perfect for al fresco dining, weekend grilling, or simply unwinding with a glass of wine as you overlook the beautifully maintained backyard. Built for durability and low maintenance, the deck offers a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that makes entertaining effortless and everyday living feel like a retreat. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, each filled with natural light and equipped with ceiling fan/light combos. A beautifully finished full bath and a discreet laundry closet make this level as functional as it is comfortable. The third-floor primary suite is your personal retreat. It spans the entire level and features a tray ceiling with ambient lighting, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with dual showerheads, stylish tilework, and abundant natural light. Just outside the suite’s wet bar, step up onto your private roof deck—an ideal space to unwind, sip your favorite drink, or entertain guests while soaking in expansive skyline views and fresh air. The fully finished basement features soaring 10.5’ ceilings, a half bath, added storage, and plenty of flexible space for a gym, rec room, guest area, or home office. It’s also a convenient walk-out level—great for indoor-outdoor flow and backyard access. Behind the scenes, the home is loaded with upgrades: a security system, integrated home speakers, and energy-efficient windows offering cross-breezes from north- and south-facing exposures. And with a 5-year full tax abatement still in place, you’ll enjoy low ownership costs for years to come. Location? It’s hard to beat. Just steps from the Wissahickon trails, and close to neighborhood favorites, cafés, transit lines, and schools—this is a truly walkable lifestyle with the best of city and nature at your doorstep.
