Built in 1831 and updated with modern amenities, here is an opportunity to own a beautiful piece of Philadelphia history in Queen Village. This home reflects all of the charm and character that goes with a neighborhood so steeped in cultural history.

The bedroom is beautifully designed with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a barn door and another gorgeous brick fireplace.
