Step inside through the charming four-season sun porch and original wood entry door into a spacious living room featuring hardwood flooring throughout, stained glass windows and doors, and elegant custom touches that preserve the home's historic charm. Step through the original French doors to the gourmet eat-in kitchen, which is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, complete with GE appliances, quartz countertops, a waterfall island, and polished brass fixtures for a sophisticated finish. A convenient powder room is located on the first floor, along with access to a private fenced backyard—perfect for gardening, outdoor dining, or relaxing. The home offers five spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms across multiple levels. The second floor features a stunning front bedroom with a bay window, two additional generously sized bedrooms, a full hall bath, and a convenient laundry area. The third floor serves as a private owner's suite, complete with a walk-in closet and a beautifully appointed primary bath featuring a double vanity and large shower with a fun tile design. Next floor, a versatile loft space provides the perfect setting for a home office, playroom, creative studio, or additional bedroom. All major systems have been completely upgraded in this home. Situated in an area experiencing significant development, the home is ideally located near the Baltimore Avenue Corridor, University City, and Kingsessing Recreation Center, offering convenient access to parks, dining, shopping, and major universities.
