About This Home
As of November 2024Do you have a knack for home improvement? A calling for interior design? Perhaps a desire to be in the Penn Alexander catchment? We have found your match! Welcome to 541 S Melville Street, a rare West Philly row home located steps from Baltimore Ave. This 3+ bedroom home boasts original finishes, a spacious floorpan, an attached garage, and more. The front entrance greets you with an enclosed front porch that is sun-soaked and perfect for a cozy reading room, bright home office, or space to sip your morning coffee. The living area flows into the formal dining area and offers just enough division for you to give each space its own identity (and proper use)! The kitchen is updated and neutral with copious cabinet space and is complimented by a dedicated laundry area and convenient powder room. There is a small shared deck area off the laundry room that leads to the driveway for easy exit and entry. Gorgeous original hardwoods (that are screaming for a refinish) and closet space complete the first floor. The second floor offers three sizable bedrooms and a hall bath. There is a fourth bedroom space that is ideal for a den, play area, or bonus family room. The hall bathroom has black and white original tile; a blank canvas, it would thrive with some pops of color and perhaps some eucalyptus! The basement offers plenty of dry storage, maintained mechanicals, and access to the garage. Steps from Baltimore Ave and the Trolley Line. Minutes from Clark Park and University City. Make Knockbox Cafe, Loco Pez, Doro Bet, Dottie's Donuts, and Clarksville a few of your local haunts!
