About This Home

As of February 2019

A rare find! Pristine semi-detached move-in ready home on the most sought after street in historic Girard Estate. The cozy front porch is the perfect place to sip your morning coffee. Original hardwood floors welcome you in the spacious living room and dining room, paired with high ceilings and a working gas fireplace. Walk into the newly redone, sun-filled kitchen, with quartz counter-tops, all stainless steel appliances, and a custom panel refrigerator to match the wood cabinets. The powder room has also been redone and is right off the kitchen. Grab a book and relax in the enclosed heated sun-porch that can be enjoyed in all seasons. No need to carry laundry upstairs, the laundry room is located on the second floor. The other bedrooms boast original hardwood floors, ample closets, and plenty of light. There are pull-down stairs leading to a large attic for storage. The large bathroom includes a whirlpool tub and stall shower. This house is built for entertaining! The recently renovated basement has a custom-built bar, and a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. The back yard makes for great space to BBQ, relax or entertain friends! Blown-in insulation keeps this house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Many other amenities include: water purifying system with reverse osmosis, crown molding and custom wainscoting, central air, newer heater and hot water tank, upgraded electrical service, all walls freshly painted. Just unpack!
