Welcome home to this beautiful piece of Philadelphia History! Not only is this extra large home located in the award-winning Penn Alexander School District, but it's located on one of the oldest Queen Anne blocks in Philadelphia. With living space spanning 4 levels plus a finished basement, there is room for everyone. The original Oak wood floors glisten from the abundance of natural light coming from the large windows throughout the entire house. The heart of the home is the spacious living room featuring a statement fireplace and leads to the updated eat-in kitchen with Quartz countertops, a breakfast bar with room for seating, and new appliances. Off the kitchen is a custom "speak-easy" bar with a tin ceiling, perfect for entertaining or could be easily converted back into a breakfast nook or dining room. The main floor is completed by a half bath and a separate laundry/mudroom -- a great space to store your day-to-day items. The second level has two bedrooms and two full baths including the primary with an ensuite. You'll find three more bedrooms and another full bath on the third floor and if you ascend one more level you'll find the sixth and final bedroom. The finished basement makes for a great recreation room, play room, home office, or even a home gym. A half bath and large storage area complete the basement. This home has upgraded dual zone central air and economical gas heating, completely updated electric and a high-efficiency tankless hot water heater. Sitting on one of the oldest protected historic blocks, this home and all the ones around it exude charm and character with the setbacks, porches and yards giving this area a suburban feel all while being in the heart of it all! Located in close proximity to Spruce Hill, University City, UPenn, Drexel, Rittenhouse Square, Schuyhill River Trail, museums, hospitals, and all the coffee shops and bookstores on Baltimore Ave. Plus only mere blocks from Penn Alexander School, Clark Park playgrounds, Shakespeare in the Park, and the Farmer's Market. A short 8 minute trolley ride on the Route 34 line gets you to the 30th St Station. The regional rail is also easily accessible to provide easy access to Center City and beyond.
