About this property

Welcome to 801 S 8th Street! Ideally situated on the corner of 8th and Catharine Streets in the heart of Philadelphia’s coveted Bella Vista neighborhood, this exceptional three-bedroom, three-bath home with parking offers a rare blend of location, light, and livability. Set on a charming, tree-lined street with views of Palumbo Park and the iconic Fleisher Art mural visible from the home’s many windows, this residence pairs soaring ceilings and abundant natural light with thoughtful design and effortless city living. Enter through a welcoming foyer featuring a dramatic staircase and a deep, custom-fitted coat closet that provides exceptional storage. The first-floor bedroom is a private retreat, filled with natural light and complemented by a recently updated en suite bath—perfect for guests, a home office, or a quiet sanctuary. Upstairs, the main living level showcases a beautifully designed kitchen that balances timeless elegance with modern functionality. Crisp white shaker cabinetry is paired with warm brass hardware and extends to the ceiling for maximum storage. A striking island with a rich wood base and sleek quartz countertop anchors the space, offering generous seating, built-in storage, and a convenient beverage/wine fridge—ideal for both everyday living and hosting family and friends. A professional-grade stainless steel appliance suite, including a gas range and French door refrigerator, completes this chef-worthy kitchen. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a gracious living room featuring custom built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace, and hardwood floors throughout. A private balcony extends the living space outdoors, providing a perfect spot for fresh air and relaxation. The layout, coupled with the width of the home, allows for easy entertaining on this level. Because it's a corner home, you'll marvel at the number of windows and the abundance of sunlight throughout the space. The upper level is home to a spacious primary suite with custom built-ins and multiple expertly outfitted closets. The en suite bath offers dual vanity sinks, a glass-enclosed shower, and a dedicated vanity area. Down a skylit hallway, you’ll find an additional generously sized bedroom - currently configured as two distinct spaces, highlighting its versatility, along with a full hall bath. The finished basement adds even more flexibility and is currently used as a home gym. Meticulously cared for over the years, the exterior of the home was completely updated to replace all stucco with stylish hardie board plank siding, add weather-resistant trim, sleek exterior lighting and new windows on the upper floors were installed. The roof was replaced in 2023. Included with the sale are plans and permits to add a roof deck to take full advantage of skyline views. Located just steps from neighborhood parks, acclaimed restaurants, the Italian Market, and all that Bella Vista has to offer, this home delivers the very best of Philadelphia living.
