Description
Welcome home to 211 Lofty Street. Perfectly situated on a corner lot, this admired Manayunk home pairs timeless curb appeal with warm, thoughtful design. Framed by gardens, mature trees, and a white picket fence, this home radiates the kind of character that makes you feel at home the moment you arrive. The outdoor spaces are what make this home truly special. Picture cozy fall evenings gathered under string lights on the brick patio for Friendsgiving, or summer nights spent watching the game on a projector with the fire pit blazing. This wide 50-foot yard provides rare green space for city living, with lush landscaping, custom flower boxes, and classic shutters that add charm in every season. Two private parking spots are tucked conveniently within the fenced yard, making everyday living easy and inviting. Step inside, where natural light fills the home through oversized windows and highlights the exposed brick and open floor plan designed for comfort and connection. The updated kitchen, completed in 2020, feels like something straight out of a magazine, bright, welcoming, and crafted with care. Featuring white cabinetry with black hardware, soapstone countertops, a double oven, a five-burner range with pot filler, reclaimed 100-year-old joist shelving, counter-to-ceiling subway tile, and a wood-paneled ceiling with warm, custom lighting. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining and living areas, centered around a gas fireplace that brings everyone together. A refreshed powder room with a barn door completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom feels like a quiet escape, with vaulted ceilings, skylights, exposed brick, and a generous closet. The middle bedroom features hand-stenciled walls and picture frame molding, while the third bedroom, currently a nursery, glows with natural light, wainscoting, and a custom closet. A hallway skylight leads to a spa-like bathroom completed in 2021, designed with floor-to-ceiling marble, a freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass shower with rainfall head, a custom wood vanity with stone sink, and a heated towel warmer. The perfect place to unwind after a long day. The finished basement adds even more living space, with high ceilings, two cozy lounge areas, and a large laundry and storage room. Peace of mind comes with a new HVAC system (2024) and hot water heater (2020). Living here means embracing the best of Manayunk life. You’re just a short walk to Main Street’s local cafés, restaurants, and shops, with community festivals, farmers markets, and friendly faces at every turn. Spend weekends at Pretzel Park, explore the Schuylkill and Wissahickon Trails, or catch a sunset along the Cynwyd Heritage Trail or Manayunk Towpath. With easy access to Kelly Drive, major highways, and the train into Center City, this home lets you enjoy both the energy of the city and the peacefulness of nature. 211 Lofty Street combines comfort, style, and community in one of Philadelphia’s most beloved neighborhoods. A home that truly invites you to slow down, gather often, and stay awhile. Make your appointment today!

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
