Property Description
A splendid Tudor home, nestled on a block listed on the historic register, where the charming facades remain preserved for generations to come. Situated on a tree-lined street, a few short stone steps lead you to the tranquil front garden with mature perennial plantings. The original leaded glass windows and solid wood front door set a warm, inviting tone throughout this beautifully maintained home. Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Comfort Inside, the soaring ceiling and double set of windows create a dramatic living room that is both grand and welcoming. A cozy nook with a magnificent wood-burning fireplace, detailed mantel, and wood-paneled wall invites you to relax comfortably. Architectural details like exposed wood timbers and arched doorways enhance the home’s historic charm, while the rare 1.5” wide wood floors (found in all but the living room) provide a unique and timeless touch. The modern kitchen seamlessly blends with the home’s character, spacious island, a stylish backsplash, clean white cabinetry, and a corner seating nook leading to an elegant dining room. The kitchen’s back door opens to the rear of the property, where you’ll find a parking space and a wooded outdoor patio area across the alley – an ideal spot for al fresco dining with a fenced in yard for dogs to safety run and play. Owner’s Suite with Private Deck and Renovated Bath Upstairs, the expansive landing doubles as a large balcony overlooking the two-story living room. The owner’s suite is an oasis of calm, featuring an updated California closets and a renovated bathroom ensuite. A small deck, accessed from the bedroom, provides an impressive private outdoor retreat – perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or sunsets. Flexible Third-Floor Bedrooms and a Surprising Basement The third floor offers two charming bedrooms and a full bathroom. One of the bedrooms includes a built-in window seat, adding character and enhancing the home’s historic appeal. Unlike most homes of this vintage, the finished basement offers over 500 additional square feet of functional space with hardwood floors and a separate utility and laundry room. This beautiful home is ideally located in East Falls, just a short walk to parks, the library, coffee shops, retail stores, and restaurants. Enjoy quick access to Fairmount, Center City, University City, Chestnut Hill, and the Main Line. With low taxes, additional parking, and unbeatable curb appeal, this home offers the perfect combination of historic charm and modern amenities.
