A mid-century modern house that still boasts many of its original details, like a vintage leather wet bar, recently hit the market in Elkins Park, writes Paul Jablow for The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home was built in the late 1940s. It was designed by David Daniel Weitz, a renowned art deco architect, for Russian Jewish immigrants.
The foyer with double-coat closets leads into a living room that features walls of windows and a fieldstone fireplace. The kitchen boasts white cabinets, quartz countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances.
There is a first-level primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, as well as a powder room with art deco details.
The other two bedrooms can be found on the second floor, from where a flight of stairs takes you to the roof deck.
A finished full basement has a laundry room and an additional spacious room that could be transformed into a gym, an office, or whatever fits your needs.
Outdoor and indoor spaces are tied together by a flagstone patio.
The property is also home to a two-car garage with inside access to the kitchen. The home is available for sale for $742,000.
