This classically charming, right-sized corner home with garage is on a lovely Wynnefield block that offers the best of city and suburban living with its convenience to Fairmount Park, St Joe’s University, City Ave, Suburban Square and Regional Rail. Original details including oversize windows, lovely millwork and plaster arches run throughout rooms that flow together in a great layout. Original oak parquet flooring with inlay runs through the large living room with two coat closets and the formal dining room with chair rail. Through a bonus space that makes a great butler’s pantry or breakfast room is the updated kitchen, which offers a good amount of storage via oak-finished cabinets, a sleek black Whirlpool range with smooth grates, metallic subway tile backsplash and a cast iron double sink with pull-down faucet. Off the kitchen there’s a large cement deck for easy grill access. Up the original staircase, oak floors with inlay run throughout the second floor. The primary bedroom has three windows and a charming niche flanked by closets with mirrored doors and a vintage-fabulous en suite with yellow and turquoise tile and a walk-in shower that’s ready to be restored. Through a plaster arch in the hall there are two more large, sunny bedrooms that share a hall bath with a skylight, linen closet and more vintage tile in excellent condition, as well as a fabulous lavender cast iron tub. The walkout basement, which opens to the attached garage, has amazing potential for fully finished living space including a powder room, with plenty of room left over for laundry and storage. As a jump start to your updates, the skylight and roof were replaced two years ago with a 15-year warranty.
