The second bedroom has multiple windows and lots of natural light. There are two full baths on this floor. The third floor offers three more bedrooms, a laundry room, and a powder room, providing plenty of space for various uses such as an office, exercise room, or den. The powder room already has plumbing in place to add a shower. This home includes five bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths, along with an unfinished basement. The property also includes a private backyard, perfect for entertaining. The large L-shaped front porch is ideal for reading, relaxing, and socializing with family and friends. Major improvements include a remodeled third-floor bedroom (previously a kitchen) and the addition of three new windows consistent with the original architectural design in 2010. In 2012, a new furnace was installed, followed by a new hot water heater in 2014, and exterior painting in 2017. The third-floor laundry/powder room was renovated in 2020, along with an upgrade to a 200-amp main electrical service with surge protection. The main water line to the house was replaced in 2021. In 2022, the entire house was rewired to remove all knob and tube wiring, and a new auxiliary breaker box was installed. In 2024, the house, including the porch and garage, received a new roof, new gutters, and downspouts, along with a Mainline Waterproofing Pressure Relief System (French drain and sump pumps) and recasting of basement walls. Appliances were updated with a dishwasher and gas stove in 2013, a washer and dryer in 2019, a microwave in 2022, and a refrigerator in 2024. Located in a family-friendly neighborhood close to Center City and the suburbs, this home is perfect for walking and hosting gatherings.

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.
