Property Description
MID-CENTURY MODERN ARCHITECTURE is a style with a defined set of principles and influences. You will find many of them here at 612 Markle Street. Clean lines? Check. Floor to ceiling windows? Check. Functionality? Check. Molded to the natural landscape? Check. Celebration of materials such as stone, wood, glass and brick? Check. Intelligently and architecturally integrated solar shading? Check.
Perched on and nestled into a hill in the beloved Philadelphia neighborhood of Roxborough, this home is warm, welcoming and alluring. Take the stone steps set into beautiful landscaping up to the front porch where you realize your view of the tops of trees and the golf course across the road. Here, the roofline of the home projects out over the porch to provide protection as you relax in your chair as well as to shade the interior when the sun is high. The porch was rebuilt by the current owner with a modern aesthetic and architectural materials and details, such as Atlantic Cedar planks as well as steel that will naturally patina. Enter into the living space that is an expansive room flooded with natural light. To the left is the living room with a full wall of brick containing the fireplace and full-width, stone mantle as well as floor-to-ceiling windows. To the right is the dining area also surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows and the captured view you appreciated from the porch.
Beyond the dining room to the right is the updated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and loads of cabinets. Down the hall is the first bedroom and the hall bathroom with glass enclosed stand up shower. At the end of the center hall you enter what has become the bespoke space of the current owners where two bedrooms are brought together to form a large primary suite. Upon entering you will see to the left that there is a nicely sized bedroom with on-suite bathroom and very large, custom, walk-in closet that answers most buyers' dreams. The windows are large and plenty making the room comfortable and bright. To the right is another bedroom, also with plenty of large windows. Original wood floors throughout. If necessary, a small wall and door can easily be added back to completely separate the two bedrooms again.
Back down the hall toward the kitchen there are steps leading you to the lower level, flagstone foyer. Come in the door from the carport here to take off your shoes, hang your coat in the closet and set down your work bag before going upstairs to your private oasis from the city. The downstairs level also contains the laundry, utilities, storage space and access to the crawl space. Just outside of this level from the foyer is the carport to protect your car from the elements. There is also a stone walkway surrounded by mature landscaping and leading you to the lush, green backyard which is much larger than you'd typically find in Roxborough.
The current owners of this home have made countless improvements such as a new roof, new windows, central air and updated electrical. This is a rare gem you do not want to miss! *Check out the virtual tour*
Short distance from Main Street, Manayunk, the shopping district of Roxborough, and Wissahickon Valley Park and Trails. Highways, trains and buses are all nearby for a quick ride into downtown and the airport.
