Straight Thru

Where Fitler Square converges with Graduate Hospital—steps from 23rd & Bainbridge and about a one-minute stroll to Heirloom Market—2311 Grays Ferry is a three-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 1,900 SF, 18-foot-wide residence fully transformed by an impeccable full-gut renovation and QB3’s warm, modern design. Enter through a custom mahogany front door to a porcelain herringbone-tiled vestibule with tailored built-ins (uppers, bench & cubbies), then into sunlit living/dining spaces with 9′7″ ceilings, cashmere-gray, site-finished red-oak floors, an architectural slat wall, and a vertical glass-block light column. At the center is a custom chef’s kitchen—light-oak cabinetry with brass hardware, Caesarstone slab counters/backsplash, Bosch appliances including a convection wall oven and 5-burner gas cooktop, a panel-ready Blomberg refrigerator/freezer, and an oversized peninsula with a deep undermount sink beneath a sculptural brass/globe pendant—framing a clean sightline to the front windows. A tiled rear landing discreetly serves a chic powder room and opens to a fenced patio for coffee, herbs, and evening grilling. Upstairs, two sun-splashed bedrooms feature deep-set windows and hardwoods; the hall bath blends encaustic-style patterned tile, a white-subway tub/shower with niche, matte-black fixtures (including handheld), and a floating stone-topped vanity. A dedicated laundry room adds uppers, a butcher-block folding counter, deep utility sink, and LG gas washer/dryer. The top-floor primary suite feels boutique with two closets, a ceiling fan, mini-split zoned comfort, and a spa bath with twin vessel sinks, wall-mounted faucets, oval black-rim mirrors, vertical kit-kat tile wainscot, and a walk-in shower finished in vertical white tile over warm-taupe ribbed tile with a charcoal hex-mosaic floor. A finished lower level provides flexible bonus space plus utility/storage. With all-new systems (roof, windows, doors, floors, HVAC, hot water heater) and an approved 10-year tax abatement, this QB3-crafted 1908 row home pairs high design with turnkey convenience—moments from the Schuylkill River Trail and easy South Street Bridge access, walkable to UPenn and Center City, parks, top-rated restaurants, and shopping, with quick connections to CHOP, Drexel, and I-76.
