Step into a piece of Philadelphia's rich past with this magnificent single-family home, perfectly situated just a stone's throw from vibrant Fitler Square, with its nearby cafes, schools, shopping, and recreation (tennis courts, Schuylkill River bike path, playground, and dog park a ten-minute walk or less away). From the moment… Read More you cross the threshold, you are surrounded by the gracious contours of an 1870s Victorian home: high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms, ample windows, and two working fireplaces. Many architectural details have been lovingly maintained, including wide pocket doors that open onto a formal parlor and a library with a bay window. Floors throughout are random-width heart pine, an increasingly rare wood valued for its unique warm tone, tight grain, and exceptional hardness. The eat-in kitchen adjoins a perennial container garden with room for a cafe9; table and chairs. On the second floor, there is a spacious library with built-in oak shelving and paneling and a wet bar in a small, attached room. Also on this floor, a spacious master bedroom with 10' ceilings, a walk-in closet, and an adjoining full bath. The third floor has three more bedrooms and another full bath. While this home exudes character, it also offers a fantastic opportunity to personalize and update this historic gem to perfectly suit your taste. Read Less
