Property Description
The finest of University City Homes. Let's check the boxes: Penn Alexander Catchment? Of Course ✅ A 21' wide beautifully landscaped extra side lot (plus an additional rear deck and yard). This home has just about as large an outdoor space as you can find in the city ✅ And note that while this home and its outdoor space have all the light and openness of a corner property, it is not on a corner, so you gain maximum privacy that is not otherwise available to other city homes ✅ Not only does the expansive side yard separate this home from the adjacent homes, but it also borders the rear yards of those homes for even more space between properties ✅ All of this open space is on the southern face, so enjoy a wall of large south facing windows, plus dramatic eastern and western light throughout the day ✅ Exquisite original woodwork throughout. A rare chance to enjoy both ornate Victorian woodwork and spectacular brightness throughout ✅ Other character includes high ceilings on all three floors, hardwood floors with ornate inlaid detail, significant original stained and leaded glass, exposed brick and beams, repurposed marble bathroom countertops, original doors and original windows (all working, with storms). Plus multiple window seats in various spots throughout the home ✅ 6 bedrooms plus a large family room, plus another family room. 3 full baths. Lovely sun room. Separate Dining Room. Spacious, renovated, and bright kitchen with tons of windows and superb storage. Extended eating bar. Exposed Brick. Lovely Garden Views. ✅ The finished lower level is half above grade for tons of natural light plus a separate entrance. This space is perfect for a LEGAL Airbnb, in-law suite, guest suite, professional office, or family space and home office. Includes one bedroom, one full bath, living/dining area, and a kitchenette (included in the bedroom/bath count above) ✅ Fully rewired by Gen3. No knob & tube. Dimmers.
