Property Description
Major price adjustment!! Bright, airy, high-ceilinged, spacious: all hallmarks of the quintessential turn-of-the-century 3-story late Victorian twin in East Falls. This lovely home with 5-6 bedrooms and 2 full baths and off-street parking has the added attraction of location: centrally located for ease of driving or commuting by train to Center City Philadelphia, yet so quiet inside! Just a few steps from the Queen Lane Station on the Chestnut Hill West commuter train line, a short walk to the Wissahickon Creek area of Fairmount Park, and just up the hill from Schuylkill River recreational pursuits. 1st floor: open wrap-around porch; large living room with massive stone fireplace mantel with brick hearth; coat closet; inviting and unique formal dining room sunlit from an oversized triple window and graced with antique wallpaper over chestnut wainscot, dental crown molding in excellent condition, and an antique tin ceiling saved from an old church in Pottstown; large eat-in kitchen renovated in 1986 and still crisp and efficient, offering good counter space and cabinetry, center island, gas cooking, refrigerator, and plenty of room for a table if desired; rear stairs; mud room with washer/dryer and storage room and exit to yard and parking. 2nd floor: What a wonderful front room that could be a bedroom or upstairs family room with glass french doors at the entry, 2nd massive stone fireplace, front facing bay window with lush green views of the mature trees in the front yard; full bathroom with shower over tub, leaded glass window, antique pedestal sink, Mercer tiles on the wall; Middle bedroom with IKEA armoire and 2 closets and lovely bay window with stained glass; Large rear bedroom with 2 closets. 3rd floor: Three large bedrooms, one with a wall of closets, all with new replacement windows, full bathroom with ceramic tile, shower stall; Full basement: unfinished, with second set of laundry hook-ups, areas for storage, workshop, utilities, brand new glass block windows, and outside exit.
