The vibrant Clark Park and a variety of restaurants and stores (CVS, ACME) just steps away. Bus stops to the Center City are just around the corner. UPenn, HUP, CHOP, Penn Vet, Drexel, St. Joseph's University are all within walking distance.
This classic Victorian twin house boasts original oak floors and detailed woodwork, alongside other historical features such as leaded windows and antique fixtures, creating a breathtakingly classic and elegant appearance. While maintaining the original historical elegance, the house has been carefully maintained and comprehensively upgraded for modern comfort by the current owner, including new oak flooring upstairs, rewired electricity, updated plumbing, new windows, central AC, a remodeled high-tech kitchen, luxurious bathrooms, and a new large deck.
** First Floor: ** The entrance opens to a spacious living room anchored by a stunning fireplace, leading seamlessly into the formal dining room. The recently remodeled kitchen, equipped with cutting-edge appliances and sleek finishes, serves as a modern counterpoint to the home’s historical charm, combining functionality with style.
**Second Floor: ** Ascending the staircase, adorned with its original, meticulously crafted woodwork, brings you to the second floor. Here, a generously sized, sun-drenched family room at the front features a second magnificent original decorative wood fireplace, reflecting the home's historical elegance. The tranquil master suite is located at the rear, complete with an adjoining room suitable as a nursery or spacious dressing room.
** Third Floor: ** This level is home to four large rooms, providing abundant space for individual privacy and creativity. Each room is substantial, providing a versatile canvas for bedrooms, study areas, or hobby rooms, ideal for a growing family or professionals working from home.
** Additional bonus areas: ** The finished attic, currently used as an art studio, offers a peaceful space for serene retreat. The expansive finished basement is a perfect hub for family activities, with ample space for a home theater, gym, or recreational room, complete with a new bathroom and laundry facilities.
** Outdoor space: ** The backyard is perfectly designed for relaxation and entertainment. The beautifully crafted large deck offers a cozy space for outdoor entertaining, dining, and gathering, and the garden area offers abundant potential for growing your favorite flowers and greenery.
This spacious classic twin stands as a rare jewel in the City, celebrated for its prime location, unparalleled convenience, and perfect blend of historical beauty and modern comfort.
