Property Description
Even though University City is largely a Victorian neighborhood, the opportunity to buy a home with all of its period details carefully preserved is becoming pretty rare. This c.1906 house still has it all - glamorous leaded glass, handsome natural woodwork, gorgeous original staircases, a built-in bench and a window seat, beamed ceilings, two decorative fireplaces, hardwood floors - and even a clawfooted tub! Over the years, the longtime owners painstakingly stripped the woodwork and enhanced the ambiance with period-appropriate wallpapers, while also adding modern upgrades. The rear of the house, on all 3 floors, has Mitsubishi split system a/c. There's a spa-like luxurious main bathroom. The eat-in kitchen, while upgraded some time ago, was built for a food connoisseur and has a great layout and multiple pantry spaces (as well as the original back stairs!). The laundry room was moved upstairs, where it's convenient. There's a front porch for watching the world, and a back yard for barbecues. The location is a quiet, tree-lined block --- within the catchment area for the highly-regarded Penn Alexander public K-8 grade school! (Catchment area isn't a guarantee of admittance, but the kindergarten odds have been very good in recent years.) Nearby you'll find great area day care centers, Clark Park with its many activities, and independent local restaurants and coffee shops.
