If you love the timeless character of a classic city home and want a walkable urban lifestyle, this Highlands twin on a beautiful, tree-lined stretch of Delaware Avenue offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience. The inviting front porch welcomes you into a bright and welcoming home filled with original charm, including gorgeous pine hardwood floors that flow throughout much of the home. The spacious main level features a large living room with recessed lighting and an adjoining office space, also enhanced by recessed lighting—an ideal setup for working from home or creating a cozy reading area. The generously sized dining room provides plenty of space for gatherings and entertaining, while a convenient first-floor powder room is tucked away for guests. The updated kitchen blends classic style with modern functionality, featuring crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, a subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and gas cooking. Tile flooring and direct access to the rear stamped-concrete patio make this a great space for everyday living and outdoor entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each with its own full ensuite bath and ample closet space. The primary bedroom features a charming barn door that opens to a walk-in closet and private ensuite bath. The exceptionally clean and dry basement provides additional storage and utility space. Major updates provide peace of mind, including a gas hot water heater replaced approximately five years ago, central air replaced three years ago, replacement windows, and a roof updated in 2015. Beyond the front door, enjoy the best of city living with Rockford Park and Brandywine Park, neighborhood trails, restaurants, cafes, and other local favorites all within easy walking distance. Come for the location, fall in love with the character, and stay for the lifestyle—this is the kind of city home that doesn’t come along often.
