This property is situated right on the timeless and always popular Delaware Ave, just minutes away from the city’s best destinations. You are literally just steps away from over 15 popular and well-loved restaurants and pubs. Not far in the other direction, and you are on your way to possibly the main destinations of the city: Rockford Park and the Delaware Art Museum. Your front porch will welcome you right into this well-cared-for home. Upon entry, you are greeted by the city-style classic exposed brick wall running the span of the living room. You will also immediately notice the fine, polished original wood floors and original woodwork on the stairway. The dining room has wainscoting and elegant molding leading into the kitchen. A creation of the esteemed Philadelphia designer Tara Ryan, the kitchen boasts Cafe stainless steel appliances, including a convection microwave and a front control gas range also with a convection oven. Upgrades like Kraftmaid cabinets with Franklin Brass pulls, butcher block benches, Penny tile backsplash, and Quartz countertops add both beauty and functionality, ensuring your guests will feel right at home. The French doors allow ALL of the sun to pour right in and will guide you to an outdoor oasis with a large screened-in porch leading to the deck. Wait - it does not stop there. You will then find a large brick paver patio. Enjoy the eco-friendly solar-powered water feature or have your own night-time bonfire with plenty of space. There is iron fencing leading you to the convenience of a rare 2-car parking area that will allow you to come right into the home’s rear entrance.
