Airy such as this, the crowing corner house of a row of turn-of-century Queen Anne Victorian homes, built ca. 1895. While updated and modernized, this house has uniquely maintained its charm, character and much of its original woodwork and trim throughout. An exterior picket and masonry fence with two iron gates wraps around the property. The grounds contain shrubs,pines, fruit trees and a raised bed flower and vegetable garden. The house is built with Wissahickon Schist limestone and brick/stucco, keeping it warm in the winter and naturally cooler in the summer. New warranted shingle roof. Slate flagstone walkways lead to a front porch with a wrap-around iron railing and an arched, columned flanking entryway over a large, handsome wooden and brass hardware door. Enter through foyer with brick fireplace and spiral staircase (extinct American Chestnut)open to the third floor. Living and dining rooms feature fireplaces (one Delft tile). Modern kitchen features colonial cabinetry, Mexican tile,a Jenn-Air electric range and built-in grille (with brand new elements), garbage disposal, built-in convection oven, dishwasher and recessed refrigerator. Kitchen door leads bi-level deck and garden. First and second floor feature original floors and trim. Second floor contains 3 bedrooms, a full bath, double insulated Anderson windows and newly installed, warranted windows in the turret. Master bedroom includes a sink and the house's fourth fireplace. Third floor contains 2 bedrooms with new carpeting and padding, full bath and a kitchenette with sink, garbage disposal, oven and refrigerator. The third floor windows are all new double-paned, energy-efficient that swivel for easy cleaning. House is freshly painted throughout. All fireplaces can be made to work. Unfinished basement has outside exit with steel door. Energy efficient gas furnace installed in the last 5 years, as well as a new water service line.
