About this property
*Home is currently occupied and viewings will need to be scheduled in consideration of current tenants.*
This West Philly charmer on a quiet block that ends at Cobbs Creek Park has tons of original detail and lots of natural light through a combo of side and interior windows. There's an abundance of original woodwork beginning in the enclosed front porch/sun room and continuing throughout: oak floors with mahogany inlay, glass-paneled entry door, stately window and door trim as well as multiple built-in cabinets.
The kitchen features quartz countertops, butcher block island with farmhouse sink and pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances (all less than 5 years old), and white Shaker-style cabinets. The first floor includes a half-bathroom just off the kitchen, while the original glass-front cabinets maintain the home's classic charm. The rear yard provides a nice area for planting and dining al fresco, with a breezeway to the street for bike and trash storage and easy guest access to warm-weather gatherings.
Upstairs, the three bedrooms all recieve nice natural light, the front via a lovely south-facing bay window and the rear from its two exposures. The bathroom includes a stall shower with vintage marble surround and a separate soaking tub. There's plenty of storage space and a washer and dryer down in the basement.
Added bonus: there's a fruiting fig tree on the property for all you fig lovers out there!
This home is in a convenient location to the Baltimore Avenue trolley and SEPTA connections and is just a quick 8 minute bike ride to neighborhood favorites such as Cleo Bagels and Carbon Copy Pizza and Brewery.
