About This Home
Warm and wonderful Spruce Hill twin with significant character on a desirable tree-lined block in the Penn Alexander Catchment. 5 bedrooms plus a family room, 2.5 baths. Front porch and lovely rear yard. The original character includes high ceilings, original hardwood floors, detailed woodwork, window seats, leaded glass, and original moldings. Step past the garden that leads to the comfy covered front porch. Through the original solid wood and glass door is the foyer with original woodwork and into the entrance hall with beautiful woodwork, leaded glass, hardwood floors, and high ceilings. The living room, separate dining room and updated eat-in-kitchen are all cheerful and bright spaces with lots of character. The kitchen also has a small sitting area with Marvin sliders that lead out to the spacious rear patio. Half bath and great storage. The original hardwood floors and character continue on the 2nd floor, which has a huge front-facing family room (or a large bedroom), a middle bedroom, and another large bedroom in the rear. Either the front or rear could be primaries. Nice hall bath. Ample closet space. The 3rd floor (also with hardwood floors) has nice-sized front and rear bedrooms with an open family room in between—a really awesome layout. An updated full bath in the hall. The rear bedroom has a mini-kitchen with plumbing and a washer-dryer. The kitchen could easily be removed. This home has splendid spaces, excellent character, and a smart and flexible layout that can work for a lot of uses. It also offers an ideal location—Easy walk to Clark Park and its fabulous Farmers' Market, Knockbox Cafe, ReAnimator Coffee, Baltimore Avenue's Restaurant Row (so many places to eat), Penn Alexander Catchment School, Clarkville, Green Line, TacoTaco Mexican, Local 44 and the Bottle Shop, CVS, and so many coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping. Close to HUP, CHOP, Penn, Drexel, UCity Tech/Science Corridor. 11 minutes to Center City by car or bike and plenty of convenient SEPTA options. Property Notes—The seller believes this home has a mix of modern and knob & tube wiring. The sellers have retained a fire-escape specialist removal company to remove the rear fire escape. They have a definitive proposal, but the company is booked into the summer, so sellers can provide proposal and arrange for work to be done (and pay for it). The Property is zoned for duplex use and could be a legal duplex (or renting 3rd floor); however, it only has one entrance.
