Description
A mid-century CHIC home in the heart of Dickinson Square! Welcome to 1612 S Orkney Street, a 3 BD/1.5 BA home that has been carefully renovated, professionally designed, and downright ADORED over the years. From a gas fireplace and clawfoot tub to a Pinterest-worthy kitchen and vibrant wallpapering, this home marries vintage elements with modern upgrades making it truly a cohesive (and comfortable) space! Step through the vestibule into the open main floor where refinished hardwood floors and soft natural light create a warm, welcoming first impression; the dining room is a stylish common area - accented by a petite breakfast peninsula - for grazing, hosting, and hanging alike. The kitchen is one of the many focal points; the pastel shaker cabinets, white quartz counters, starburst hex backsplash, farmhouse sink, mixed metals, and Café appliances make it a true vision for any homeowner. Immediately off the kitchen is a convenient half bathroom with additional storage and cozy patio to savor the summer nights. The second floor is home to three airy bedrooms and a sizable hall bathroom. Between the refinished hardwoods and black and white subway tile, the upstairs breathes even more timeless energy into the home and makes this South Philly row truly one-of-a-kind. Refinished original hardwoods floors throughout. Steps from Dickinson Park, Rebel and Wolf, Moonshine, BOK Bar, Grindcore, Herman's, and more. Minutes from I-95, I-76, and the Philadelphia International Airport!

Climate and Weather
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.
