45 Carpenter Ln, Philadelphia, PA 19119

This is a stunning home! From top to bottom, its condition is impressive, its 1902 character is enormously attractive, its 21st century upgrades are comforting. From the gorgeous oak flooring to the light-filled high-ceilinged rooms, to the state of the art HVAC system, this house is a "10"! 1st flr: The front porch leads to a new and substantial oak front door and spacious entry hall with bay window with deep sills, Living room with fireplace mantel, Formal dining room with corner cabinetry, brand new eat-in kitchen that pleases with its simple plan of stainless steel appliances and butcher block counters that fits nicely into the nature of this 1902 home, rear unheated but beautifully finished mudroom ready for pantry or storage use. 2nd flr: Master bedroom, gleaming white bathroom with shower over tub, two more bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office. 3rd flr: Two more good-sized bedrooms and another sparkling bathroom; a third bedroom is used as easily accessible attic storage. A full basement is unfinished including utilities, laundry with newer washer and dryer, and a huge space that has for many years accommodated the owner's wood-working shop. Both front and rear yards are beautifully landscaped, and the rear yard, tiered to a large garden and play area, offers abundant color with flowering trees, shrubs and perennials. So many great features: Recent high-efficiency gas-fired HVAC with CENTRAL AIR, entire exterior trim painted within the last year, NO knob & tube wiring, all interior trim freshly painted, new double-glazed windows throughout, vertical stack replaced from attic to basement, rear landing and steps created with Trex materials, front porch rails and spindles all replaced to re-create original architecture. And more! Super location: great neighbors, close to public transit (bus and commuter train), 20 minute drive to Center City Philadelphia. This house is a true West Mount Airy treasure!
