Have you ever wanted to live in a villa? This week’s SoPhilly Spotlight is a villa-inspired home right here in South Philly, located at 1823 S. 12th St. in East Passyunk Crossing.

12th-street

The 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with 1,608 sq. ft. is currently listed for $389,900.

From the listing:

This property has upgraded features such as the finished basement, main floor full bath, recessed lighting throughout, and a gorgeous rear patio that makes you feel like you are in a European Courtyard.

Step on in to a tiled foyer entrance on the first floor which opens up to a large formal living room with gas fireplace, a spacious dining room, and an expansive eat-in style kitchen. We love the natural light from the windows in the kitchen because it shows off the polished granite counters and brick patterned backsplash.

The appliances are included, gas cooking, access to the rear yard for grill-to-table convenience, and a lot of cabinetry and work space.

One special feature to note is the Deco-like appeal of the custom modern metal stair/handrails and staircases leading to the second and 3rd floors as well as custom tile flooring throughout the halls and bedrooms.

    Nice place , but a “villa” ? lol. Been to Italy and sorry but does not remind me of any villas I saw even with the DYI fountain in the little yard.

    The third floor fireplace is certainly unusual. Would be a good family room but strange to position it as a bedroom especially since there seems to be no bathroom on that floor.

    Someone must know someone in the tile and marble business. The fireplace in bedroom is a nice touch, I bet that floor is cold in the morning!
