Property Description
As you approach, the classic brick façade and custom Tofani front door set the tone for what awaits inside. Step through the stunning vestibule, featuring wood paneling reclaimed from a Main Line mansion, beautiful tile flooring, and transom windows that fill the entryway with natural light.
The living room is an absolute showpiece — restored heartpine floors, elegant painted trim, designer lighting, and a marble fireplace mantel imported to complete the look. The statement mirror above the mantel stays with the home, perfectly complementing this inviting space.
Flowing into the dining room, you'll find floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving and mirror, and a touch of historic charm thanks to the ornate staircase built from reclaimed materials. A half bathroom with a stained-glass door adds both convenience and artistry.
Through the graceful arched doorway, the kitchen blends the best of old and new — original tile and upper cabinetry meet modern marble countertops, newer base cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. The textured walls and wood ceiling add depth and warmth, making this kitchen a true conversation piece. From here, step out to a cozy backyard oasis, perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks, or summer grilling.
Upstairs, the charm continues with heartpine flooring, exposed brick, and three bright bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a built-in wardrobe salvaged from a historic carriage house, adding both function and flair. The full bath retains its vibrant art deco tile work, preserving the home's unmistakable vintage character.
The basement offers plenty of space for a workshop, gym, or storage, and even includes a bathroom area ready for your finishing touches.
While the home celebrates its historic roots, it's been fully updated for modern living with new plumbing, electric, and central air throughout — offering comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind.
If you're looking for a home that tells a story — one filled with Philadelphia craftsmanship, reclaimed architectural treasures, and the discerning eye of an antique conservator — 2136 S Bancroft Street is it.
