This delightful porch-front townhouse beautifully blends the craftsmanship of a bygone era with the comforts of today's modern updates. From the moment you arrive, the original front door and painted wood-paneled vestibule set the tone, preserving the home's character. Step through the solid wood interior vestibule door"”designed to keep winter drafts at bay (with original leaded glass stored in the basement for restoration)"”into the warmth of newly refinished yellow pine floors that flow seamlessly into the spacious formal dining room. Here, you'll also find a charming glass-levered transom above the original french doors, a nod to the home's rich architectural history. The inviting living room features a handsome ceramic tile and wood mantle, an original wood staircase bannister, and a large front bay window that fills the space with natural light. The dining room opens to a thoughtfully updated gourmet kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher and disposal), granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a brand-new luxury vinyl plank floor that continues into the mudroom with laundry closet and a convenient powder room. Step outside to a backyard just the right size for gardening, grilling, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The entire home has been freshly painted from top to bottom. Upstairs, the sunny main bedroom offers another decorative ceramic and wood mantle, dual closets, and a generous bay window. Two additional bedrooms and a beautifully renovated hall bath with subway tile tub/shower, new vanity, and stylish flooring complete this level. All bedrooms are fitted with new, soft Berber carpeting for added comfort. A full basement provides plenty of storage and houses updated mechanicals, including a new hot water heater, recently cleaned HVAC ductwork, and a whole-house water filtration system (with extra filters provided). Ideally located with easy access to University City, Center City, public transportation, and local green spaces like Malcolm X Memorial Park and Christy Recreation Center, this home offers both convenience and character in equal measure.
