    What's special

    This beautiful 1885 Queen Anne Victorian, designed by architects G.W. & W.D. Hewitt for Henry Houston, is a rare find: a substantial, elegant single house in a perfect, walk-to-everything location, just 3 blocks off "the Avenue." The current owners have carefully restored and updated it to suit today's lifestyle while preserving the period details and character. It offers a terrific kitchen (cherry cabinets, marble counters, stainless steel appliances including 6-burner Viking stove) with adjacent family room addition with gas fireplace and custom built-ins. Also on the first floor are the lovely entry hall with high ceilings and classic woodwork, living room with fireplace and built-in armoire, formal dining room, new closets and updated powder room. The second floor features a fabulous master suite that includes a lovely sitting area with access to a screened porch, dressing room with custom closets, and renovated bath with Carrara marble floor & shower walls, double sink, custom cabinets and vanity with sage green granite counter. Completing the second floor are 2 spacious bedrooms and a renovated hall bath with Kohler fixtures and Carrara marble floor & wall tile. On the third floor are 2 more bedrooms (one used as an office), a large play room and a charming, updated hall bath. The beautifully landscaped yard is a very manageable size, with deck and stone patio. Off-street parking for 2 cars. Excellent mechanical systems including newer zoned heat & central air. One block from the train to Center City.
