Description
This spacious, 4 BR, 2.5 bath, 1496 s.f. townhouse in the West Philly neighborhood of Cobbs Creek kept its original details when it was readied for modern life in 2017. Old house admirers will appreciate the c.1920 gleaming wood floors, the elegant leaded glass, the classic staircase and the wide, arched 1st floor doorways. The sunny, nearly-square floor plan is a surprise, in a city where townhouses are usually long and skinny, and often dark. There was no need to change any of that during the rehab...This spacious, 4 BR, 2.5 bath, 1496 s.f. townhouse in the West Philly neighborhood of Cobbs Creek kept its original details when it was readied for modern life in 2017. Old house admirers will appreciate the c.1920 gleaming wood floors, the elegant leaded glass, the classic staircase and the wide, arched 1st floor doorways. The sunny, nearly-square floor plan is a surprise, in a city where townhouses are usually long and skinny, and often dark. There was no need to change any of that during the rehab 3 years ago, but the previous owner put in a new kitchen and bathrooms and made mechanical upgrades. Approaching this house, you will see the really big tree in its front yard, and then the original open front porch. The exterior wood trim is original too; it was not replaced or covered by ugly modern siding. Note the new mahogany porch floor and the handsome leaded glass window panels on either side of the front door. Inside, a room-sized entry hall has space for everything. There is a big living room and a separate dining room with corner cabinets. A breakfast bar opens the dining room up to the kitchen. The fenced yard out back makes a great play space. Up on the second floor, a second spacious square hall provides access to the four bedrooms and bath. A great surprise here is the huge, bright basement space, making the house really roomy. It has been semi-finished in that better way that does not trap moisture, and it is a tall, open, bright, play space or works pace with laundry, storage, full bath, and steps up to the back yard. The location between Christian St. and Washington Ave. is only a couple of blocks north of Baltimore Ave. - a quick trip east to eclectic local restaurants, and also the boarding spot for the #34 trolley line, which can whisk you into center city in 20 minutes, stopping along the way at the UPenn & Drexel campuses and the 30th St. transportation hub.
