Property Description
The definition of West Philly charm, this lovingly renovated Victorian twin with in-law suite is nestled on a gem of a block with a postcard-worthy stretch of porchfronts, gardens and mature trees. A tiled vestibule with wainscoting opens to a classic floorplan with original oak floors with inlaid border; the formal living room with pretty tiled fireplace with wood mantel is separated from the dining room by glass-paneled pocket doors. Here, the bay window is a dramatic backdrop for any size dining table, and the built-in corner cabinet is perfect for a bar setup. Guests will appreciate the conveniently located bathroom on this floor, finished with classic black and white tile. The kitchen sits at the rear and features gleaming pine floors, timeless white cabinetry with contrasting black granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances against red walls with a white beadboard accent; there's the sweetest bench seat incorporated that overlooks the backyard, which offers enough greenspace to satisfy a gardener, but not so overwhelming as to be a chore. Access the second floor from the main staircase or the intact rear stairs for three nicely sized bedrooms with pretty pine flooring; the room in the middle makes the perfect walk-in closet/dressing/laundry room as it connects to both the other bedrooms--this can be that master suite everyone dreams of but never gets around to creating! The front room has the prettiest bay window along with a picture window, crown molding and decorative fireplace. The serene rear bedroom also has two exposures, including from a Juliet balcony. The pretty bathroom servicing these rooms features more classic black-and-white tile floors as well as crisp white subway tile wall and tub surround. The third floor is the ideal in-law suite, featuring a retro-cool kitchen and bathroom and bonus attic space that has been opened to create a loft-style "mezzanine" overlooking the living room. However, if more bedrooms are what's needed, this level could easily be used as a traditional three-bedroom setup. This picturesque block is in an ideal location just off Baltimore Ave and close to both Cedar and Clark parks.
