From the kitchen you can go down into the full, stand up basement or the back yard. The basement is designed for work, with a large laundry room and an extensive space for storage and a workshop. The back yard and alley are newly-poured concrete, grass, and mature plants great for entertaining, gardening, and some solitude in the well-maintained hot tub. From the back yard you enter the two car garage, which could be easily rented as one of the rarest of West Philadelphia amenities - a garage which has plenty of room for two cars and still allows you to easily exit your car with your groceries or briefcase. The owners restored some of the original woodwork and floors of the house, preserving leaded glass and the terra-cotta roof, still common on the block. They readied the well-maintained roof for sale and painted many of the surfaces. They are open to leaving furniture and exercise equipment that won't be needed once they downsize. When you exit through the traditional vestibule and the massive front door, traversing the covered porch and seating area, you'll enjoy your great location on a tree-lined block so close to many restaurants and parks - everything on Baltimore Ave and Clark Park are about a 10 minute walk. You'll be close to the SEPTA 46th Station and bus and trolley lines nearby. The up and coming Lee School is a stone's throw. All the new features of UPenn are blocks away. Plus you are a short taxi ride to Center City and the airport.
