Property Description
This spacious twin exudes warmth and a homey vibe thanks to its hallmark West Philly charm, both inside and out. The newly repainted ornate trim and gorgeous front garden with mature landscaping including a dogwood tree fits right in on this Kingsessing block where pride of ownership is on full display. The enclosed porch with tongue-and-groove ceiling has windows that open on all sides. Inside through the gorgeous original front door are super high ceilings; original oak floors with walnut inlay, an abundance of large windows; and original trim and doors throughout. There are 10(!) windows on the first floor alone, starting in the large front living room with a double window to the front porch and a side bay. The kitchen and dining room, which have been opened up to make one cohesive space, have more large windows along with two closets with original glass-paned doors. The straightforwardly utilitarian kitchen has original pine floors, maple cabinets, butcher block countertops and a vintage farmhouse sink with integrated drainboard. A mudroom opens to a deck with full-width steps down to a beautiful yard with a perimeter garden with more mature landscaping, including a Japanese maple tree and azalea and lilac bushes. The four bedrooms up the stairs with original curved banister are just as sunny and charming as the first floor. Past a hall closet, the large front primary has a bay window with oversized center window and original door with a pane of privacy glass. The good-sized middle bedrooms are adjoining; each has a closet and ornate radiator, and one has a charming set of windows flanking a transom. The rear bedroom has a bay window and original armoire with beveled mirror doors and connects to the hall bath, which is vintage fabulous with a clawfoot tub and original penny tile floor and subway tile wall. Behind the scenes, Echo House Electric did a complete rewire, and the roof was replaced in 2019. This wide block is just a few blocks from the nine-acre park that houses the Kingsessing Library and Rec Center, currently undergoing $25M in upgrades, and is convenient to Baltimore and Woodland aves as well as the Grays Ferry Bridge.
