Love is in the air...Have you been searching for that classic home that's full of character? Is location important to you? Would you enjoy Urban life without so much hustle-bustle? Can you imagine the fun of picking a fresh peach from your very own peach tree?? Well, get ready to fall in love. From the moment you enter the vestibule, until you visit the 4th floor...or walk out to the rear deck...you'll feel the positive energy radiating throughout this wonderful home. The gracious Living Room is wonderful as a place to welcome your guests or entertain them. There is a special 'Conversation Area', music area, and more. Beautiful wood trim adorns this space and the windows feature leaded glass in perfect condition. Holidays or special dinners will be delightful in the Formal Dining Room. The House Chef will love the Gourmet Kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, etc. There is a wonderful Island Counter for informal dining and a built-in pantry dating from the original construction time. Back stairs lead to the upper floors for those who like to sneak down for a midnight snack! There is also an exit to the rear Deck and private back yard. The 2nd Floor features include a very large Main Bedroom currently used as a Family Room area. There is a closed Fireplace in this space. In addition there are two more full bedrooms and a Hall Bath. The first and second levels also feature beautiful refinished Oak Flooring. On the Third Floor we will find refinished Pine Flooring. There are two more bedrooms and a Hall Bath with Ante-Room aka Dressing Area. Carpeted stairs will lead to the Fourth Floor with the 6th Bedroom.

The Rear Deck is a wonderful gathering place for Summer Fun especially since the entire floor of the Deck was replaced in Summer 2021. The fenced-in yard provides privacy and is surrounded by greenery and trees. There is a rear common driveway just beyond the fenced and accessed by the rear gate. This is a great extra 'play space'; and also a good way to load and unload things without being on a public street.
The present owners have been here for approximately 10 years and have lovingly maintained/updated most of the systems including an entirely new electrical system (wiring et al); a Pelican Whole House Water Filtering System which will purify the water and clarify its taste. The roof was replaced in 2017 and has a remaining warranty. There have also been improvements made to the steam heating system and some areas of older plumbing. Eclectic in nature and style, this home can be the palette for your contemporary decor or a most welcome refuge for your traditional furnishings and accessories. The quiet neighborhood is quite walkable with public transit only steps away. Major highways connect with suburban PA neighborhoods and nearby New Jersey. Campuses such as University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University offer unlimited opportunities for all phases of education, cultural activities, and more. The University City restaurant scene presents the best of American and International Dining.
