This Victorian era home has been lovingly renovated and now includes many modern conveniences, from central air to a wonderfully finished basement. Located in the tiny borough of Rutledge (just 4 blocks by 3 blocks), it offers the best of small town living from a July 4th Parade to Tree Lighting Ceremony. A beautifully refurbished screened-in porch welcomes you to this three-story home. Spectacular tall, twin front doors form the entryway to the home. Once inside, you ll see the gorgeous refinished hardwood floors throughout (1st and 2nd floors). To the right of the Foyer is an amazing, double-sized Living Room with a decorative fireplace. To the left of the entryway is a lovely, light-filled Dining Room with another fireplace as the focal point of the room. The updated Kitchen follows and is in the rear of the home, offering newer appliances and space for a table. There is a Powder Room on this floor as well. Head to the second floor and you ll find four, freshly painted Bedrooms with neutral carpeting. There is a hall Bath on this floor, too, which has been renovated. Head up another flight of stairs to the 3rd floor where you ll discover some delightful, bonus space (Office? Art Studio?). Additionally, the Basement has been fully renovated, from a gorgeous pine staircase to a cozy pub area. A Bathroom has been roughed in here in the basement. Laundry is in the Basement too. From the Kitchen, there is access to the gorgeous yard with a beautiful wooden deck overlooking the over-sized, fenced in yard. There is a garage (being sold as is) on the property as well. A large driveway with plenty of parking for 3+ cars runs adjacent to the home. There is a train station a few short blocks away, putting you in Center City in just 25 minutes. Don t miss this chance to make this home, a wonderful combination of old world and new world charm, yours!
