Just Listed: Double Trinity in Bella Vista

What makes Bella Vista trinities stand out in a city chock-full of trinities is that so many of them are located on quiet pedestrian-only lanes. What makes this one at 911 S. Darien St., Philadelphia, PA 19147 stand out from other Bella Vista trinities on quiet pedestrian lanes is that it’s two trinities fused into one. / Photography by Alcove Media via Bright MLS and BHHS Fox & Roach Realtors

Many Philadelphians can tell you that as little as a half-block can make a big difference.

And in this case, that half block makes this Bella Vista double trinity house for sale a real winner.

It sits on South Darien Street, just a half block east of South 9th Street. That means you have Philly’s great street food market right around the corner. But because it’s a half block away, it also means that you won’t get the Italian Market crowds or noise on the weekends.

How utterly convenient. And how utterly comfortable.

Living room

Comfortable because this house was created by fusing two separate trinities into a single dwelling. That means you have space to both relax and entertain on the main floor.

Living room

The living room has space to both unwind after a day’s work and entertain friends and relatives.

Kitchen

Kitchen

Similarly, the modern eat-in kitchen can handle a dining table that seats four.

Bathroom

The upper two floors contain four bedrooms and one bathroom. The bathroom is clean and up to date, with a multi-function shower head.

As you peruse these photos, you may have noticed by now that this Bella Vista double trinity house for sale has an owner with a keen eye for design and eclectic tastes in furnishings. The living room, for instance, featured both vintage furniture and lighting and modern items that complemented the vintage stuff.

Primary bedroom

Primary bedroom

The primary bedroom displays the same sensibility, with a mix of furniture that creates a unified whole. The room has enough space for a work desk and reading nook. (If you want more work-from-home space, you could always turn the smallest of the four bedrooms into a home office.)

Bedroom

Next to this bedroom on the top floor is another bedroom clearly designed for someone who loves music.

Bedroom

The screen made from vintage vinyl LPs is truly inspired.

Another reason you enjoy peace and quiet just half a block from the Italian Market living here is that the 900 block of South Darien Street is one of those pedestrian-only lanes sprinkled liberally around Bella Vista.

And if you want to venture beyond 9th Street, you will find plenty of enticements within walking distance. Three nearby SEPTA bus routes can take you to others further away.

This Bella Vista double trinity house for sale, then, offers a lot at a reasonable price. It also has a discreet hatch that lets you get large pieces of furniture upstairs. But you might be able to spare yourself the trouble of hauling furniture in by discussing the possibility of buying what’s already here from the owner, who is willing to consider offers. Do that and you will get cool, eclectic interior design without having to hire an interior designer.
