Just Listed: Standalone Trinity in Bella Vista

You won’t find anything else like this very thoughtfully rebuilt trinity anywhere near it — and certainly not next door, for it’s not attached to anything else. Instead, this trinity truly stands alone at 1103 Hall St., Philadelphia, PA 19147 | Photos: Plush Images via She Moves Philly, Keller Williams Philadelphia

Attention, trinity owners! If you are contemplating giving your home an extreme makeover, give the designer or architect who redid this Bella Vista standalone trinity house for sale a call before you do anything else.

Unfortunately, the real estate agent marketing this true standout of a trinity didn’t bother to give them credit in her description of this property. Maybe she will share that information with me after she reads this. And if she does, come back to this feature to learn who it is.

Why does this matter? Because that designer turned this typical trinity into a house that can handle both everyday living and entertaining friends and relatives in style and comfort.

Exterior rear

For one thing, this trinity is unusually well endowed with outdoor space, for the rebuild added two decks on top of its trinity-sized rear patio.

Kitchen

For another, it has a full kitchen that can also accommodate four diners. That’s the first space you encounter when you walk in the front door.

Kitchen

And because the kitchen occupies the entire first floor, it also has abundant storage and counter space. It also has two sinks — one in the center island/dining table and the other next to the fridge.

Pantry and laundry

Beyond the fridge is a pantry and laundry, which means the kitchen also has lots of places to put things.

Rear patio

The patio in back of it has enough room to accommodate a grill — and thanks to a loophole in the city fire code, you could even put a charcoal device like the smoker you see above on it.

Note also that the makeover replaced the trademark tight spiral staircase with a straight one, at least up to the second floor.

Living room

On that floor you will find the stylish living room. This former bedroom includes a built-in workstation for today’s work-from-home lifestyle as well as a media cabinet.

Second-floor bathroom

Just off it lies the house’s full bathroom.

Second-floor deck

And next to the bathroom, large French doors open out onto a covered deck.

Bedroom deck

That cover is provided by the deck off the bedroom on the top floor.

Bedroom

The bedroom itself has enough room to accommodate a second work-from-home space, and it also contains a half bath.

Bedroom

This Bella Vista standalone trinity house for sale, then, is not only a true standout but also truly outstanding. And it’s also ideally situated close to just about everything you might want. You can walk to three supermarkets, a city-format Target and the Italian Market from here. Hawthorne Park, Palumbo Playground, Bardascino Park and several other small parks also lie within walking distance. And five SEPTA bus routes and the Broad Street Line can take you to more distant points.

If you’re a single person or a childless couple, this trinity has everything you could want in a home: room for relaxing, entertaining, and working, loads of places to put stuff, and something few other trinities have — lots of outdoor space. One more thing that makes it stand out: Its price, which is modest for a Bella Vista property — especially one that’s as nicely redone as this one.
