    What's special

    LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Quite frankly, this three story row (with finished lower level) is a MUST see. This is a 2 Bedroom 1 1/2 Bath house loaded with charm, and right in the heart of Society Hill! And from the minute you walk in you can see and feel how well-loved and well maintained this home is. Random width wood flooring, hints of colonial detail, 2 Working Fireplaces, exposed brick and stone are just some of the features you will find in the very well-organized space. The living room shows off the high ceilings and open feel. Space saving, custom wrought iron railings and spiral staircases with wood treads take you upstairs? where you will find the roomy bedrooms and baths. Or downstairs? where on the lower level you will find the new kitchen with a Belgian block floor, updated stainless appliances, washer and dryer too. Newer HVAC, new second floor bathroom. A Cobblestone Street completes the picture of uniqueness. No yard to maintain, and with this great location you have the advantages of parks and green spaces within blocks. Close to all the historic sites, transportation and shopping, grocery store at end of block. All this & great neighbors, great schools, peace and quiet too! Come and see if this very special home is right for you! (Square footage doesn't include finished lower level approximately 285 sq. ft. more.) MOTIVATED seller! Bring offer!
