Welcome to 165 Gay Street located in the heart of Manayunk. This truly one-of-a-kind home is just a 2 block walk to Main Street s many restaurants, bars, and retail locations. This home has been lovingly maintained and updated by its current owners, who added a sitting deck and gorgeous Gazebo in the rear yard, as well as fresh paint throughout many areas of the home. Original wide-plank hardwood flooring and other architectural details have been preserved throughout which lend to this home s distinctive individual style. As you enter the sun-filled living room, you re eyes will be drawn toward the open kitchen with French Country style cabinetry, exposed brick & stone walls, and rough hewn ceiling beams that accentuate the vaulted ceiling with dual skylights. The breakfast area leads straight through wide panel sliding glass doors to a relaxing 20ft+ rear yard Escape . This area boasts a 6ft wood privacy fence, a beautiful paver patio & accompanying hardscape, and a newly installed Trex sitting deck & sturdy Gazebo. If so desired, the rear-most part of the yard could be converted into off-street private parking, as other homeowners have done on this same block. Back inside, we ll venture upstairs where you will find 2 generously sized bedrooms and a tastefully eccentric first full bath. Follow the curved staircase, shrouded by beautiful exposed stone walls, to the third floor Master Suite with loft, that comes complete with its own deck which offers breathtaking city views. Every element in the Master Suite was carefully considered from the 4 skylights drenching it in sunlight, to the reclaimed wooden ladder for the loft, to the French Country style closet doors. The Master Bathroom is truly a sight to see! It has been entirely renovated from floor to ceiling and comes complete with a gorgeous antique double-sink wooden vanity, custom green-glass bowl sinks, heated river stone floors, and a beautifully tiled shower surround with recessed niche. Off street parking is available in a nearby lot (first come, first serve). Do not miss your opportunity to view this eclectic home while it lasts!
