From the moment you arrive, the stately covered front porch with classic white columns and bay window details sets the tone for the grandeur within. Inside, original Victorian architectural details abound, from the ornate, carved fireplace mantels and decorative transoms to the stunning stained-glass entry panel and beautifully turned staircase with original newel posts and spindles.
The expansive main level flows through generously sized living and dining rooms, separated by original pocket doors, each room anchored by decorative brick fireplaces with elegant white mantels. The large eat-in kitchen offers ample cabinet space and room to reimagine. Upstairs, multiple spacious bedrooms including an oversized primary with a sweeping bay window provide abundant living space, complemented by two full bathrooms.
The full attic presents tremendous potential for additional living space or storage, while the impressive basement with soaring 8-foot ceilings opens the door to endless possibilities, whether a recreation room, home gym, or additional finished living area.

With solid bones, generous room sizes, and irreplaceable period details, this property is a rare find in one of Philadelphia's most sought-after historic neighborhoods. Adding exceptional value, this home is located within the highly coveted Penn Alexander School catchment, one of the most sought-after public school assignments in all of Philadelphia.
