SoPhilly Spotlight: Bathroom tile entryway edition

This week’s SoPhilly Spotlight is a home currently on the market in Newbold (or whatever the neighborhood is being called these days).

The “uniquely renovated” house at 1818 S. Hicks St. features modern upgrade throughout, but you’ll still spot some quirky details, like the bathroom tile in the entryway and the mural painted on the fence in the backyard. This three bedroom, three bathroom, 1,200 sq. ft. home is currently listed for $324,900.

More from the listing:

Uniquely renovated 3-story home located on one of the best blocks of Newbold- right down the street from South Philly Tap Room! Tastefully restored home with a nod to modern design aesthetics and function while maintaining historic charm.

Enter through the vestibule into an open first floor- big living room and dining room with industrial modern pendant light. Powder room on first floor and basement entrance outfitted to serve as coat ‘closet’. Bright and lovely kitchen with large window, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, slate tile floor, tile backsplash, pantry cabinet and breakfast bar/computer nook.

Exit to your private patio with a one of a kind mural painted by nationally acclaimed Philly-based street artist. Two amply sized bedrooms on second floor- both with closets- and a large, fully-tiled bathroom that houses your washer/dryer so you don’t have to schlep to the basement!

Custom cabinetry in bathroom closet provides ample space for linen storage and folding clothes. Third floor master suite with his and her closets, reclaimed wood and wrought iron sliding barn-style door, and full bathroom with a Pinterest-worthy shower! Restored original pine flooring throughout the house adds character while new mechanics bring efficiency– new heater, HVAC, windows, roof (with warranty), and plumbing.

Finished basement provides bonus space for living, studio, or storage. Clean and bright with built in shelving. Conveniently located to downtown Philadelphia, this home is in Newbold- a rapidly developing neighborhood with a nice sense of community. It features lots of hidden treasures – Indonesian and Thai takeout places (Hardena and Circles), South Philly Taproom, Brew/Ultimo-for excellent hand-poured coffee and microbrews by the bottle.
