Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the home's generous scale and classic Philadelphia character. The main level features recently refinished hardwood floors, high ceilings, spacious living and dining areas, and an impressive staircase with detailed woodwork and a substantial banister. Large windows bring natural light into the home, while the architectural details provide the warmth and charm that make these traditional Philadelphia homes so appealing.
