Property Description
Welcome to 990 E Godfrey Ave, an impeccably maintained twin home in the desirable Northwood section of Northeast Philadelphia. Located on a wide street with mature trees and sidewalks, this stately home welcomes you with a nicely sized front yard with a flowering Japanese plum tree. Upon entering, you're greeted with an enclosed front porch room which these owners used as a second living room. Natural light floods through the bay window and the temperature stays cozy with the electric fireplace (included). The original front door of the home is a wide French door with leaded glass and creates a lovely entrance into the main living room. This large living area features a decorative corner stone fireplace (non working), wide windows with more original leaded glass and beautiful traditional trim work. A convenient first floor closet is tucked by the stairs and the living room flows easily into the separate dining room. You'll be hosting the next holiday meal from this generous dining room. Complete with inlaid wood floors, crown molding and space to host a meal for 8 (or more!), this dining area is ready to impress. Past the dining room is a bright galley kitchen with separate breakfast nook and large walk-in pantry. This functional layout offers plenty of counter (Corian countertops) and storage space. Upstairs are 4 spacious bedrooms, all with closets and a sizable full bathroom complete with a bathtub and convenient linen closet and bathed in natural light from the decorative stained glass window. Downstairs you'll find a walk-out basement housing laundry, mechanicals, a half bathroom and separate bonus room- perfect for a playroom, gym or home office. The walkout basement also allows access to your 1 car garage and rear driveway with 2 additional parking spaces (driveway access from common drive aisle). Aside from the abundant parking at the rear, there is a small patio for grilling or a fire pit and a shed for your garden tools. Conveniently located on a leafy residential block between Roosevelt Blvd and Castor Ave and walkable to the Frankford Transportation Center, means easy access to public transit, highways, bike lanes and shopping, as well close proximity to several neighborhood parks and green spaces. Discover the secret gem that is Northwood, one of Northeast Philly's most charming pockets. Pride of ownership abounds at 990 E Godfrey which has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for the last 40 years! Properties like this don't come on the market everyday. **Property is subject to restrictions outlined in Burk Deed Restriction (developer from early 1900s). Restriction mandates that properties remain owner-occupied, single-family homes. These covenants prohibit multi-family conversions, commercial, or industrial operations in the neighborhood (Northwood).**
