About This Home
As of September 2024This single Victorian home, built c. 1860s-1870s is located in Penn-Knox and listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. The original details include 2 fireplaces, which have not been used, a cast iron kitchen stove (not in use), tall double-hung windows, and high ceilings and pine flooring. Decorative oak flooring in the front entrance, hallway, stairs, and living room was added c. 1920. There are 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on the upper floors. An expanded, insulated laundry room and full bathroom were added at the rear of the 1st floor in the 1970s. Recent upgrades include a ventless forced air gas furnace with new venting, central air conditioning, and a ventless gas water heater. The home's exterior features a spacious front porch perfect for enjoying a leisurely morning. There are front and side gardens, a rear patio, a detached shed for storage, a small greenhouse, and a small pond. An electrical outlet by the pond allowed for a pump to keep the water clean.
