About This Home

As of March 2021

Welcome to Spruce Hill. Located in the Penn-Alexander catchment, this rarely offered classic West Philadelphia Victorian twin features all of the original character that has been lost in many of the houses in the neighborhood. The massive living room gives way to a large separate dining room which leads into the kitchen with rear staircase. Do you miss having outdoor space? Host all your friends and family with the spacious backyard, ready for your landscaping design. The second floor showcases a large bedroom with built-in closets that was being used as the master, with a small balcony. This floor also offers a large parlor that is entered through original French doors, perfect for a professional office space or media room. The third floor features a full kitchen, perfect to be used as an in-law suite for those with extended family. The finished fourth floor offers a studio space with skylight and windows that bring in an amazing amount of natural light. Finally, don’t miss the large rooftop deck that is very rare for a house of this age. Welcome unobstructed views of Center City and all of the charm that West Philadelphia has to offer as you watch the sunset. This house was lovingly cared for and is ready for the next family to design it into their future home. Don’t miss this unique opportunity!
