A smart layout with hand-picked details and warm, inviting finishes are what separates this instantly-feels-like-home renovation from all of the basic flips out there. The spacious end-of-row porchfront home has high ceilings, great natural light from windows with three exposures and extra-deep sills, and a warm neutral palette with sophisticated pops of black throughout.

The open-plan first floor features a living space with a slatted accent wall panel wired for a TV mount and a dining area that flows nicely into the kitchen via a breakfast bar. This nice-sized room with good storage and prep space has timeless finishes like warm white Shaker-style cabinets, marble herringbone backsplash atop subtly veined white quartz countertops, and a stainless steel Samsung appliance package.

Off the rear mudroom is a super-stylish powder room with exposed brick wall, veined porcelain vanity and arched mirror. The finished basement offers additional living space; a laundry room with Samsung washer and dryer, folding station and room for hampers; and a separate mechanical/storage room.

The full bath with a large step-in shower with glass doors, full-wall large-format porcelain surround and chic black floating vanity also makes this level a great candidate for a guest room. The second floor has three sunny bedrooms, contemporary light fixtures and ceiling fans, a hall closet, and a handsome bathroom, all behind original doors painted black.

Each bedroom has its own charm-the primary has a tray ceiling, bay window and a board-and-batten accent wall. The middle bedroom has the sweetest closet with an upcycled glass-paned door, and the third feels extra private, being tucked beyond the bathroom and overlooking the rear.

The bathroom is both nicely finished and makes great use of space-the tub with large-format porcelain full-wall tub surround and glass doors with black frame has a window with an extra-deep sill that doubles as a shampoo niche, and there's a recessed set of shelves next to the wood vanity with fluted accents.

The rear paved patio has a wood privacy fence and a gate to the street, which is super convenient for trash day and bike storage. This quiet side street is one block from the Landsdowne Ave trolley, two blocks from Carroll Park and three blocks from the Lancaster Ave commercial corridor, plus is convenient to Fairmount Park and City Line Ave.
