    What's special

    West Philadelphia New Gem! Original Charm Combines with Just-Right Upgrades. This dreamy home boasts bright yet warm tones, where good design and smart custom storage maximize the large square footage. As you step inside you will be greeted by high ceilings, oversized windows, and original parquet floors run throughout the home. The living room features an original decorative fireplace and elongated front windows that allow an abundance of natural light to flow in. An extra-wide opening connects the living room to a spacious dining area with a powder room for convenience. From there, you’ll find the chef’s kitchen, complete with Frigidaire stainless-steel appliances, a matte black faucet, and gold hardware. Off the kitchen, a private backyard awaits for entertaining or relaxing. Heading upstairs, you’ll be greeted by the original staircase. The three bedrooms are generously sized, with the primary room boasting a large closet and ample storage. The finished basement offers so many possibilities (office space, game area or movie/sports lounging) with the bonus of a full bathroom and laundry area. The renovation was thoughtfully curated to provide a sense of calmness along with modern charm. Gold and Black hardware flows throughout, making maintenance a breeze. Conveniently located near Baltimore Ave, University City, and just minutes away from Center City, this home is an excellent choice for families and professionals alike.
