Boasting 5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this impressive University City home is filled with original character and many upgrades throughout. Entering through the leaded glass-enclosed front porch (overlooking Malcolm X Park), the main living area is flooded with natural light and features hardwood floors that continue throughout most of the home. The open floor plan on the main level flows through to the spacious kitchen, with access to the patio and garden area at the rear of the property. A beautiful, 3-story staircase leads upstairs where the bedrooms are all generously sized and have ample closet space, including a custom walk-in closet in the 3rd floor (primary) bedroom. The 3rd floor bathroom is a four-piece bathroom with a tempered glass-enclosed shower and a whirlpool tub, making this level a wonderful primary suite. The basement is unfinished and expansive, featuring a bathroom and a separate laundry area, as well as plenty of storage space. Additional highlights include nine-foot ceilings, original built-ins, energy-efficient windows, recent roof and exterior repairs, and a dual-zone, high-efficiency HVAC system. It's a must-see!
