About this home

Majestic is the word I would use to describe this stately colonial on a private overlook hills street in the Somerton section of Philadelphia. This home has had only 1 owner for the last 50 years and has been cared for like family boasting 3 bedrooms with 1 full bath and 2 half baths. It has an oversized lot (75x125) completely fenced in but please don't forget the classic stone fireplace and the 4-season sunroom off the living room overlooking the huge side, front & back yards. Bring your Buyers, they will thank you.

Residential Single-Family Detached-3 District

The RSD, Residential Single-Family Detached districts are primarily intended to accommodate detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RSD zoning be applied in areas where the land use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Code includes three RSD districts that are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements.
