Bright, well-maintained home with character on one of University City's most desirable tree-lined blocks. Penn-Alexander CATCHMENT. 3 bedrooms plus den plus sun porch. Dining room. Lovely front yard. 2-car PARKING (driveway and garage with direct inside access). So bright with original hardwood floors with inlaid detail throughout, 9' ceilings, original character and detail. Rear deck off of the kitchen. The kitchen is bright, clean, and neat, but small. Use as is or create your perfect kitchen by expanding into the breakfast room (and the home is priced for you to do this work). Beautiful, renovated tile bath. Exposed bricks and beams. Skylights. A lovely home on a beautiful University City block. Dry basement with good ceiling height. Note: The previous owner opened up the ceiling in the living room. For a more traditional layout, this can be easily and professionally closed-up for a very reasonable price (seller obtained quote for 2-days work). A fabulous home?Parking, great space, most desirable school, and an awesome location. Within a couple blocks of Clark Park and its fabulous Farmers' Market, Clarkville, Renata's Kitchen, Marigold Kitchen, Green Line, and Milk & Honey, Baltimore Avenue's Restaurant Row, Penn Alexander Catchment School, Honest Tom's, Local 44 and the Bottle Shop, Pop Shop, and so many coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping.
