About This Home

As of July 2015

Fabulous three story town home located in the Graduate Hospital area. No need to look any further for a spacious 4 bedroom 2 bath home, with updated amenities while maintaining true character. The customized foyer welcomes you into the home with a grand living and dining area. Hardwood floors and carpet guide you past the half bath to the completely remodeled kitchen that is fully equipped with stainless steel Bosch appliances, temperature controlled wine cooler, granite countertops and crown moldings. The rear of the home has a small fenced in yard convenient for entertaining guests. Take a walk up the winding staircase to the first landing where a remodeled full bath awaits. As you continue to the first living floor there are three generous sized bedrooms, with a combination of hardwood and carpet. Continue up to the second landing and there is yet another fully appointed full bath. The last stop in this home that offers such old world charm is the third floor which has the final and largest bedroom with its own sitting area. Also on this level is the full deck in the rear of the home offering majestic views of the city skyline. Convenient to bus and train, shopping, parks and schools. A short stroll to Center City on a nice day. A must see!
