Welcome to 618 Catharine Street, a luxurious, complete renovation and addition of a home originally built in the 1840's.  Located on a quiet tree lined street, arguably one of the nicest blocks in Philadelphia, this stylish, impeccably updated, 3 Bedroom, 3 and 1/2 bathroom home boasts roughly 3,000/SF of living space, a beautiful, private rear yard with mature trees and an approved 10 Year Tax Abatement! Enter through the custom milled front door into an amazing, bright living space with wide plank white oak flooring. Walk through the dining area and into the custom kitchen of your dreams. Slate grey tile floors complement maple and white cabinets with quartz counters. Thermador stainless steel appliances including an under-counter wine refrigerator top-off this beautiful kitchen.  Step through the oversized sliding glass door and into serenity. A stone paver patio shaded by mature trees creates this roughly 40' deep private oasis.  Indoor/outdoor living at its finest! Upstairs you will find a large bedroom with an ensuite modern bathroom that gets both sun and shade from the trees through large windows.  Down the hall is another sleekly tiled bathroom with a tub, a laundry closet with full sized LG washer/dryer and another bedroom that gets amazing light from the oversized windows. The entire 3rd floor hosts the Primary Suite with an expansive bedroom and a large walk-in closet with plenty of storage for even the most extensive wardrobes.  Enjoy your morning cup of Joe or nightcap from the bedroom terrace that overlooks your incredible rear yard.  The Primary Bath is a showstopper. Large format gray, veined porcelain tile runs floor to ceiling and is accented nicely by a 72” white oak double vanity, matte black fixtures, a free standing soaking tub and a huge 2 piece shower.  Recessed LED lighting, Andersen windows, spray foam insulation, and NEST controlled multi-unit HVAC help make this home smart and energy efficient.
