Sun-drenched 2 bed plus office 2 bath Society Hill home. 42 Saint James is the perfect blend of original character and thoughtful renovations. Soaring cathedral ceilings with an 18-foot window flood the space with light. Enter the home to find a foyer with custom coat and storage area before ascending to the first floor of living space. The open floor plan space is generous and accommodating for a large living room and equally spacious dining room which flows seamlessly into the kitchen. The original parquet floors are featured throughout both levels. The recently renovated open kitchen is a home chefs dream with a farm sink, stainless steel appliances, shaker cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and granite countertops. An ample breakfast bar connects the kitchen to the living space beautifully. Perfect for entertaining! The recently renovated hall bath, with marble vanity, tiled shower, and floors, is conveniently situated down the hall from the main living space. To complete this level, there is the first of two bedrooms, nestled at the back of the home, which is quiet and serene with great closet space and a large window overlooking the private courtyard. Head upstairs to find the spacious primary suite with ample closet space, a private balcony, and ensuite bath. The newer ensuite bath has an oversized shower and granite-topped vanity. The sizable balcony overlooks the private and tree-filled courtyard. An office/den area, overlooking the living space, completes this level. Each unit is guaranteed parking in the adjacent Independence Place parking garage for an additional fee. The sought-after location is steps from everything that Society Hill has to offer!
