Character tells a story. This three story, five bedroom 2 and 1/2 bath Victorian has the charm, and architectural essentials people who appreciate what West Philly is all about are looking for. An original oversized door graces the porch entrance, leading to a vestibule with wood trimmed onamental sheilds and inlays, followed by a stunning 8 foot original glass paneled door. Hardwood floors glisten in the living and dining area. Take notice of the grand front stair greeting you. From the dining area, a second staircase allows a direct pathway to the kitchen for late night snacks. An open line of sight leads from the front door to the eating areas adding to the sense of spaciousness. The kitchen has ceramic tile flooring, gas cooking, and natural wood cabinets, ready for the next homeowners individual touches. In the rear, a laundry center and powder room precedes the very large rear yard, a perfect place to garden, enjoy, or let the pups out to play. Upstairs notice the decorative curved details in the hallway. Plaster can be an art. Three bedrooms and a large simple bath are on the second floor. The third floor has two more bedrooms and another large bathroom. Each room has ample closet space. With 2300 SF above grade, this home has room to grow in. Below grade, the basement is unfinished with plentiful storage space.
