Description

Built in 1831 and updated with modern amenities, here is an opportunity to own a beautiful piece of Philadelphia history in Queen Village. This home reflects all of the charm and character that goes with a neighborhood so steeped in cultural history. The tucked away location, with a walk score of 89, is even more special considering that it is located in the Meredith School Catchment. The 1st fl has a living room with a decorative brick fireplace and custom built bookshelves, an open dining room...Built in 1831 and updated with modern amenities, here is an opportunity to own a beautiful piece of Philadelphia history in Queen Village. This home reflects all of the charm and character that goes with a neighborhood so steeped in cultural history. The tucked away location, with a walk score of 89, is even more special considering that it is located in the Meredith School Catchment. The 1st fl has a living room with a decorative brick fireplace and custom built bookshelves, an open dining room with a built-in desk, a powder room and an open kitchen with 42” cabinets, granite countertops, new stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar, several pantries and a slate tile floor. The 2nd floor has a bright and cheery bedroom with a Murphy bed and an updated bathroom with a double sink vanity, exposed brick accent wall, tub with subway tile and two closets. The larger closet has a washer and dryer hook if you want to make this the new laundry area. The entire 3rd floor is the primary suite and feels like a private retreat. The bedroom is beautifully designed with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a barn door and another gorgeous brick fireplace. The bathroom is spa-like with heated floors and a shower with marble accent tile and a rain shower and handheld shower fixture. The bathroom also has a marble top, double sink vanity with a subway tile accent wall, a Toto toilet, solar tubes for additional light and leads to the custom walk-in closet. This home has 3 separate outdoor spaces: the covered balcony off of the primary suite, the side alley and a large deck with maintenance free Nexan decking with LED ambient lighting. This deck is situated in the treetops and perfect for outdoor entertaining. The basement has high ceilings, a laundry area and offers plenty of storage. There’s more: gorgeous pine floors throughout, high ceilings, lots of light, Nest thermostat, updated mechanicals and a tankless hot water heater. The garden across the street has been maintained by the neighbor for close to 30 years. Great location! Two blocks from the Mario Lanza Park and blocks from all of the shops and restaurants that Queen Village has to offer. Walking distance to Penn's Landing, Spruce Street Harbor Park, BlueCross River Rink and the waterfront, etc. Easy access to 95. No parking restrictions on the street. This is part of a close knit community that features several block parties on Hancock St and Beck St. The Seller will provide Buyer with 1 year of paid parking at the Queen Village Neighborhood Association Community Lot (around the corner) for any contract signed before Nov 26th.
