Beautifully updated and maintained c. 1910 twin in prime East Falls location with equally beautiful outdoor space including a side yard, gardens and a deck. The home is believed to be the work of architect Lawrence Vissher Boyd who designed many neighboring homes in this East Falls enclave he called Manor Gardens. It combines the crispness and openness sought by today's buyers with the cottage charm of Boyd's work. Light fills the house. A focal point of the large and open living room is the fireplace alcove. Mercer tiles in perfect condition adorn the fireplace. French doors lead to the open porch. There is a roomy dining room and well designed updated kitchen with newer stainless appliances, lots of cabinetry, an adjoining mudroom and exit to a ground level deck. There are five bedrooms upstairs the largest of which is used as a family room. Both bathrooms have been nicely updated. A unique mosaic tile floor enhances the 2nd floor bathroom while the 3rd floor bathroom features a pretty hardwood floor and wainscoting. The slate roof has been maintained, there is newer two zoned central air conditioning, the electrical system has been updated and there is an over sized detached one car garage. This home is a true gem, incredibly convenient to center city, buses, trains, Fairmount Park and the suburbs. Buyers should not miss this one!
