A one-of-a-kind corner property in the Point Breeze neighborhood that blends rich history with a modern sensibility. The light-filled first floor, once a beloved candy store, offers an exceptional space for a large first-floor bedroom, home office or professional studio, featuring original, authentic shelving. A huge living room, and a… Read More thoughtfully updated, oversized full bathroom with walk-in shower completes this level. The prior owner was a capable contractor who added beautiful wood framing around the interior doors and windows of the property. Upstairs, a tranquil residential oasis awaits. It features warm hardwood floors throughout. A stylish eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar features charming cabinetry. There is a bedroom, a full bathroom and a small den/office space. A cozy side balcony offers the perfect quiet retreat on this upper level. The property features insulated ceilings and exterior walls, updated windows, and a high-efficiency boiler, ensuring comfort and low maintenance. A hidden attic-style ladder grants easy access to the roof, just begging for a roof deck to be built. The additional attached space next to the house has endless possibilities; once used as a garage, this area is perfect for storage or a workshop. The home is a short 15 minute walk or 6 minute bike ride to everything Passyunk Ave has to offer. Uniquely positioned, it is also only a 27 minute walk, 9 minute bike ride, or a 10 minute bus ride to Philadelphia's fabulous Rittenhouse Square Park. A bus stop on the corner, or a short 10 minute walk to the Broad Street Line, makes for an easy daily commute. Local coffee shops include Reanimator and Ultimo, both within walking distance. The neighborhood also welcomed in some great shops over the last few years, adding a brand new Aldi grocery store, Planet Fitness gym, and Jinxed vintage furniture. Although a perfectly cohesive home as-is, for a brief time, the current owner took advantage of the already-in-place ability to separate the two floors, living on the first floor himself and renting out the top floor as a complete 1-Bed/1-Bath unit with private entrance. That's right, 2 separate entrances. Come for a tour and imagine all the possibilities at 1550 Dorrance Street. Read Less
