About This Property

This West Philadelphia treasure, a NEWLY RENOVATED architectural gem, is a 6 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 2 full kitchens (large attic and basement) near the Penn Alexander School 8 minutes from the University of Pennsylvania, and located in  PENN ALEXANDER CATCHMENT. The original recently refinished hardwood floors gleam with light. The stained-glass windows glow with warmth. You will delight in the elegance and charm of the home, from spacious porch, to ample parlor, to large dining room, luxurious kitchen and pretty back-yard, which happens to be connected to The Bird Sanctuary, a unique secret park at the back of the home, there for your enjoyment. Comfy and spacious bedrooms, generous closets, and the unique feature of a full bathroom and beautifully-equipped second kitchen on the third floor, add a touch of luxury and comfort for your guests and family. Possibility awaits you in the charming attic, which, with ease, converts into an art studio or sanctuary for meditation or yoga practice. The home is semi-attached, and offers plenty of sunlight to those home-owners who love plants and the refreshing breeze of a beautiful spring day. The location is ideal, 13 min drive to City Hall. Buses await you less than a block away on Spruce St & 45th St Bus stop. And the restaurants! Don Barriga cooks up authentic Mexican cuisine. On the corner across the street, find some of the finest Ethiopian of our city. Above it is the secret speakeasy Fiume. Manakeesh, Saad~s, Tampopo, Taco Taco and Local 44 ~ . Clark Park awaits you with its weekly farmer~s market and cultural delights.
