Description
On the south side of the Mews, sun-filled #26 retains its classic features and split-level style while benefitting from many system replacements and upgrades. The garage is at entry level, with an extra parking space out front. Down half a flight of stairs is a semi-finished room for use as a work-at-home office, study or play space, plus a half bath, laundry & mechanicals. Or head up half a flight to the 1.5-story high living room, with a wood-burning fireplace and sliding doors leading to the landscaped brick patio. Another short flight takes you to the open plan dining room and updated kitchen, overlooking the living room below. The top floor holds a spacious main bedroom and remodeled bath. Plus, there’s a second bedroom which has 2 closets and 2 sets of windows, and could perhaps be split into 2 smaller bedrooms, a configuration which many of the Mews houses have.
The location is in the heart of the Spruce Hill neighborhood of University City/West Philly, close to several bus routes leading to the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and center city just beyond. The Mews is in the catchment area for the popular Penn Alexander public K-8 grade school, though catchment area location doesn’t guarantee admission. Don Barriga Mexican restaurant is at the corner; Knockbox Café is in the next block, and Local 44 is one block east on Spruce St. Baltimore Avenue, the neighborhood’s “main street,” is 3 blocks south, with additional restaurants, shops, and the #34 trolley line.
