Everything has already been done, new roof, systems, windows and is ready to just move in and enjoy. Much care was given to enhance the original details such as the beautiful modern staircase. The upstairs large master bedroom is spectacular with its vaulted ceiling and skylight. A second bedroom completes the upper floor, and an additional large main floor bedroom, with a direct connection to the hall bath, could also be used as a master for one floor living.

Every detail was carefully considered in the original design including the alignment of the window wall to be exactly south facing. It is on a quiet small street that includes home by Louis Kahn and Norman Rice. It is close to the city of Philadelphia and is located within walking distance to many houses of worship, public transportation, and several train stations.
