Property Description
Welcome to a classic Victorian twin located on a tree-lined block in the heart of the historic Spring Garden neighborhood! Currently configured as a duplex, the home allows you to live in one unit while renting the other to offset your mortgage, or it can be seamlessly converted back into a 4-bedroom, 3-bath single-family residence. The elegant Georgian Revival brick fae7;ade, marble steps, and original cornice set the tone for the character within. The first-floor unit features an open layout with crown molding, original wood floors, a decorative marble mantle, and oversized windows, plus a compact modern kitchen with butcher block counters, stainless steel appliances, and a bonus alcove. Beyond the kitchen, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the dining room with light, leading to a private bricked patio ideal for entertaining. A spiral staircase leads to a loft-style primary bedroom with an en suite bath, while the finished lower level offers a full bath, laundry, and flexible den space. The second unit spans the upper levels, with a bright living and dining area, a stylish kitchen, two spacious bedrooms, and an exclusive custom-designed roof deck among the treetops. Shared hall laundry and a well-maintained lower level round out the home’s functionality. Perfectly located steps from Fairmount Avenue’s cafes and shops, with easy access to Center City, University City, and cultural landmarks like the Art Museum, Barnes and the new Calder museum, this home offers the rare chance to enjoy historic character, modern convenience, and the vibrant energy of one of Philadelphia’s most desirable neighborhoods. Whether as a duplex or a single-family home, it’s the perfect opportunity for an owner-occupant looking to anchor themselves in this incredible community.
