About This Home
As of January 2013Old world charm in abundance; woodwork, wainscoting, stained glass, pocket doors, butler's pantry, turrets...the list goes on. Built circa 1883, this 130 year old beauty is loaded with the architectural embellishments old house lovers crave. As soon as you enter the vestibule, you get the sense this house might be special. Granted, you are going to want to do something about the kitchen, but that's between you and your imagination. Pocket doors separate formal living room and dining room. Generous back yard and modest deck. Bathroom w/ shower stall next to butler's pantry. Three bedrooms and a bath on 2nd and third floors. Stand up attic. Basement houses mechanicals. Lest I forget, yes, the house is located in the catchment area of Penn Alexander School.
