The best of old and new: This 100+-year-old bright and sunny, sturdy brick porch-front row house has its original oak floors with decorative inlay in every room, solid wood 6-panel doors, and millwork throughout the home. It’s met modernity with updated electric, individual split system HVAC, filtered water, and the washer & dryer on the 2nd floor. The traditional layout has an open living room that flows to a fully updated eat-in kitchen with large windows at each end. The second floor has three bedrooms, a full bathroom with a cast iron clawfoot tub and a separate shower. The front bedroom is the largest and runs the entire width of the house, with three large windows and a built-in armoire. The two rooms along the back are perfect for bedrooms and guest rooms, an office, or whatever you need. Head down to the basement to be surprised and delighted when you can actually stand up! This has been used as a workshop and is ready for whatever you want to do with it. The front exterior has a wide wood-decked front porch, a wrought iron planting area past that. The rear of the house is a private fenced back. You can choose what you want: spend time on the porch chatting with neighbors and tending the flowers, or have a private hang in the back. Cobbs Creek has just as much to offer! The neighborhood is situated between the far edge of West Philly and Cobbs Creek Park, an 850-acre park with a fully redeveloped recreation center and the largest environmental center in Philadelphia. The center features a lab, classroom, exhibition and meeting room, bird feeders, and gardens along the Cobb's Creek Trail, which is 3.7 miles of paved and 2 miles of natural surface trails. All of this is four blocks from your new house!
