700 MOUNTAIN ST Philadelphia, PA 19148

Louis Sullivan coined the phrase "Form follows function", and it is the design team at HBD Associates that has brought that term to life in this newly recondition home on the edge of Passyunk Square. This property was designed to be a model for "efficient" City Life. With clean modern lines and a wide flow pattern the home allows it's new owners voluminous space without feeling overwhelming. The fire place in the living room is the perfect setting for intimate gatherings. The breakfast peninsula and "L" shaped kitchen allows unrestricted movement through the entire space culminating in a lush patio that becomes an extension of the homes interior. The kitchen was designed with the Chef in mind with good work flow, ample counters, robust storage space and stainless steel appliances. A window was added over the sink to both allow more light and create a small space to grow and keep essential spices close at hand. The properties two well appointed baths are each finished with live edge counters. The half bath on the first floor utilizes the Toto "In wall" tank system to maximize space, while the main bath features a courtsey partition as well as two custom sinks and a duel head Italian Designed shower unit. Each bedroom has been enlarged allowing the designers to open the structure adding large widows to both rooms giving each a light and airy feel. The home sits at the terminal end of an "u" shaped court. While some may see this as a detractor, other see the potential to have a parking space directly in front of their door - a plus for anyone living in the City with a vehicle. Last, and certainly not least, the home is enrolled in the Philadelphia's Tax Abatement program, a feature which should save the average buyer about 30k over the next ten years. Thanks for looking.
