Spacious, fully updated two‑story townhouse set on a wide, welcoming street just moments from the heart of University City. This home blends classic Philadelphia character with thoughtful modern updates, beginning with beautifully refinished original hardwood floors that run throughout the main level. The living room centers around a charming fireplace and flows toward a striking grand staircase that anchors the home with architectural presence. A wide front porch adds to the curb appeal and offers a comfortable space to relax outdoors. Inside, the layout is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The large living room opens to a formal dining room, creating a natural gathering space for holidays and special occasions. The wide, open kitchen and breakfast area provide plenty of room for cooking, hosting, and casual meals, with direct access to a rear yard that’s perfectly suited for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying warm weather. The second-floor features four well‑sized bedrooms, each with ample natural light, along with a full hall bath. A convenient first‑floor powder room adds practicality for guests and daily use. The full unfinished basement offers significant additional space—ideal for storage, a workshop, or future expansion—ready for your vision to bring it to life.
