Trinity Tuesday: Double trinity in Bella Vista
And now for something completely different: A trinity with a top-floor primary bedroom suite.
You can find trinities all over Center City and its adjacent neighborhoods, but two neighborhoods in particular are known for their trinity-lined streets.
One is Washington Square West, which is laced with streets barely wide enough to drive a small car down. These streets are lined with trinities that give it an Early American air.
The other is the upper reaches of Bella Vista, in particular an area next to the Italian Market’s north end that’s laced with even narrower lanes, many of which only pedestrians can traverse. This area has the air of a European city district, in particular a city in Italy.
This unusual trinity sits in that latter neighborhood on one of those pedestrian-only lanes.
What makes it unusual is that it consists of two trinities, both built in 1910, that got fused together as part of a recent renovation. That makes this trinity unusually spacious and open, with some unique features.
For starters, the main floor is an open space that joins a good-sized living room to an eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar seating.
At the back of the main floor is an intimate rear patio.
The second floor contains tso bedrooms and a full bathroom.
And on the top floor you will find something no ordinary trinity has: A full primary bedroom suite. It has a large bedroom, a sitting area that could serve as a study, and a full bathroom with a separate soaking tub and glass-front shower.
It also has a full finished basement. Down here you will find both the laundry and enough space to outfit a media room, den or playroom. The virtually staged photo here shows what it might look like as a media lounge.
This Bella Vista double trinity house for sale is literally right around the corner from the Italian Market, so keeping your kitchen stocked will be a simple task. Simple, that is, unless you’re the type who only shops at Whole Foods Market. The good news there is, you can also walk to it, as it’s located four blocks north of here. On the way there, you’ll walk right past Palumbo Playground, and several other nice pocket parks also sit close by.
So if you want a trinity that’s not really a trinity — one you won’t have to move out of when you start a family (or as it grows if you already have started one) — then you’ll want to get your hands on this one as soon as you can.
