This lovely Tudor is located on the historic register, ensuring that the whole row will retain its special character and integrity. This particular property was featured in a book of significant historic architecture of Philadelphia. Set back from the street, a short set of stone steps leads you to the front garden, full of mature perennial plantings and complimented by a small stone patio. The original leaded glass windows and beautiful solid wood front door set the tone for the interior. Inside, the soaring ceiling and corresponding two-story window wall create a dramatic living room. There is plenty of room for seating, including a recess along the front bay window. At the far end of the space, the ceiling height changes to create a cozy nook featuring the magnificent wood burning fireplace and wood-paneled wall. Architectural elements including the wood timbers and arched doorways abound and the wood floors in most areas of the home are rare 1.5" wide planks you almost never see today. The dining room is graciously sized and can fit a large table as well as a sideboard and is thoughtfully outfitted with LED accent lighting to highlight art on the walls. It opens to the compact (but surprisingly efficient) updated kitchen. Stainless steel appliances and granite countertops meet today's standards and everything is within easy reach. Beyond the kitchen is a first floor powder room cleverly designed so as to not cut into the garage space beyond"”this property offers a full garage! Upstairs, the landing doubles as an overlook to the two-story living room. The rest of this floor is occupied by the owner's suite with an updated, skylit bathroom. The large deck accessed from the bedroom through French doors is a tremendous bonus space! The third floor offers two bedrooms that are actually large enough to be usable. (Some homes on this block have three bedrooms in the same space.) One of the bedrooms has a built-in window seat in the dormer in keeping with the historical nature of the house. The third floor bathroom is classic black and white and also features a skylight. The basement has a finished area which includes a sauna. Freshly painted, it makes for a great playroom, overflow guest space, an office or whatever you need. The unfinished section houses the laundry, and utilities with plenty of space for extra storage. There is also a door leading up steps that lead to the kitchen door and alley behind the house. This prime East Falls location puts you within walking distance to the library, parks, coffee shops, retail stores, restaurants and trails. It's only an 8-minute walk to the train and there is easy access to Fairmount, Center City, University City, Chestnut Hill and the Main Line with low taxes, your own garage (plus extra deeded parking space) and unbeatable curb appeal. Sellers have had a pre-listing inspection and addressed all significant findings, including the removal of all knob and tube wiring and grounding of all outlets in the house.
