Property Description

Welcome to a piece of Philadelphia history nestled in the heart of Queen Village. This captivating historical home offers a unique blend of colonial charm and modern comfort. While the home is said to have worn many hats such as a boarding house and an Inn in 1752, its latest venture is to be the place that you call home! As you enter the first floor, you'll be greeted by the impressive living area with double doors to the gorgeous garden. Original wide plank hardwood floors, open stairs, exposed brick, exposed beams and a cozy fireplace exude character. The stunningly large windows overlook green space and allow natural light to flood the room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A convenient half bath, separate dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with open shelving complete this level. The rear door, which is the meticulously maintained barn door believed to be from the original 1700s home, leads to a flourishing green garden with a spacious layout, providing the perfect serene setting for the enjoyment of your private oasis. Ascend to the second level and enter into the open sitting room that can be used for relaxation or entertainment. There are three bedrooms including the primary bedroom and a full bath on this level. The third floor provides even more possibilities with two additional bedrooms and enough space to consider adding an additional bathroom to suit your needs. With a total of seven beautiful fireplaces, exposed brick, original hardwood, and a rich historical ambiance, this home tells a story with every step. Practical amenities include a high-end gas heater, ensuring comfort year-round. As a bonus, you'll enjoy views of the Delaware River, adding a touch of serenity to your urban abode. The fabulous location is close to neighborhood restaurants, cafes and shops. Center City, 95 and 76 are also very accessible from the area. This Queen Village gem isn't just a home; it's your own piece of history, waiting for you to make memories within its storied walls. Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of Philadelphia's past while becoming a part of this home's future.
