This circa 1890 brick townhouse is a large home with generous proportions. The house is entered through a handsome set of double door into a very practical heat saving foyer with ceramic tiled floor. The foyer opens into a very large 15' by 27' living room with 10' ceilings and just refinished oak wood floor. Between the living room and the formal 9' by 14' dining room is the door outside to a good sized rear yard where there is a mature stand of exotic bamboo that is 30' tall which provides shade, privacy and beauty. Also between rooms are the stairs to the large basement that is home to the gas forced hot air heater and plenty of space for storage. The functional but not fancy 9' by 9' kitchen has ample counter space. The walls and ceiling are clad in real pinewood and the floor is grey ceramic tile. Cooking is done on a gas stove. The second floor rear has a nice quiet bedroom next to a full bathroom that also contains the clothes washer and dryer so no running down to the basement to do laundry. The second floor front has two large bedrooms and a large storage closet under the stairs. On the third floor there is a small bathroom with tile floor and stall shower along with two more bedrooms. All bedrooms have brand new carpeted floors. This house is located in a happening neighborhood that is two short blocks north of Spring Garden Street and just 6 blocks north of City Hall. Llama Tooth Restaurant is around corner and the Institute is next door where good food and craft beers are available. There is easy access to public transportation, the #23 bus line runs south on 12th and north on 11th or take a short walk to the Broad Street Subway. There is permit parking on the street and throughout the neighborhood. Temple University, Drexel and University of Pennsylvania are close by. Reading Terminal Market, Chinatown, and Center City are all within short walking distance. First & last months rent plus one month security is required. Tenants pay for gas, electric and water. House is currently occupied, therefore no pictures. Please call or text to schedule a showing!
