This special masonry, porch front twin has the most sought-after upgrades the ones that are hard to do and pricey. Expensive upgrades include a full electrical re-wiring from top to bottom. This is one of the very few homes of this size, in this price range, and this condition that's been fully remediated of the dreaded old knob-and-tube wiring. You will be enveloped in comfort and energy efficiency with a newer dual-zone heating and cooling system while also gaining square footage by the absence of unsightly radiators. Downstairs you ll find a complex basement waterproofing system for extra confidence in your basement storage. The original hardwood floors in this home have been refinished from top to bottom including the stairs. The results are warm, natural, satin-finished floors throughout. Other charming details include a Dutch door that opens top only and then bottom. You can greet the pizza delivery guy without him ever knowing you don t have pants on. Enjoy the luxury of a formal living and a separate dining room, or, combine the living and dining room to create one fabulous open floor plan with an island and upholstered banquette for family dinners. Then create a formal dining room in addition, or a sitting room with a library around the fireplace (currently non-working). You and your garden will love the utility room in the back with laundry facilities, including a sink. Store your gardening equipment back there, set up a potting station for your house plants, and take your sheets right out the door to dry in the spring sun or summer breeze. Under the stairs, there s an adorable, spacious kid-height door opening to coat and shoe storage and a back staircase that doubles as a pantry if need be. There s a bathroom on every floor, the 2nd floor features a claw foot tub. On the 2nd floor, you ll also find 3 spacious rooms, one to use as a casual den. Additional storage can be found under the stairs on the 2nd and 3rd floors. At one point the 3rd-floor storage closet was used as a quiet room for 3rd shift sleeping or meditation. The top floor features the master suite with a dressing room and a jack and jill bathroom with a spa steam shower and storage closet. Every complaint Philadelphians have about standard Philly homes has been resolved in this home right down to the front, back, and side yard. With its fabulous hidden location, parking is a breeze, the Wissahickon trail is mere steps away, and walking to shops and restaurants is easy. Need we say more?
