Welcome to this rare end-of-row, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom sunny Victorian with a HEATED garage. A very special opportunity to live in Spruce Hill, one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods, and in the coveted Penn Alexander School catchment. It's loaded with original 1900s details, including original Oak hardwood parquet and yellow Pine floors, leaded glass, doors and woodwork, a back staircase, and more details. But, updates have been made, including high-velocity central air conditioning with two zones, a newer heating unit, and a tankless water heater.

The multiple outdoor spaces include the classic West Philadelphia front porch, a side garden, a private backyard with a deck and garden, and a second-floor sunroom with a balcony. Plus, the house is raised above street level with unobstructed west-facing windows, affording true privacy while still allowing the afternoon sunshine in every room. “Home” at a whole new level. Get ready, this one is special.

Entering the first floor from the front porch, you'll find a large bright living room with built-in shelving and storage, high ceilings, a fireplace, and a beautiful staircase. You'll seamlessly transition into the formal dining room through the original leaded glass French doors. You'll notice the second large bay window and the custom radiator covers throughout the first and second floors. Next, head into the “breakfast room,” where you'll be in awe of the early, cast stove that makes quite a statement! This room gives access to the basement and back stairs.

The kitchen, with oak cabinets and lots of storage space, including a full walk-in pantry, has its own outside entrance. Fitted with Kitchen Aid refrigerator, Bosch stove, dishwasher and microwave.

Directly off the kitchen, you'll find the private backyard with a pressure-treated deck and red brick patio. Mature trees and shrubs provide shade and comfort in this serene backyard oasis. This area has already had its spring cleaning—freshly trimmed, mulched, weeded, and power washed—and is ready for the season with its new owners.

Up the grand staircase through the original pocket door with leaded glass windows, into the library, you'll find the third bay window and second fireplace. This library comes with custom-made, floor-to-ceiling oak bookcases that wrap-around the room and doorway.

The rest of the second floor includes two bedrooms and one full bathroom. Off of the back bedroom, there is a light-filled sunroom with a rooftop terrace.

The remaining two bedrooms and one bathroom are on the third floor. The back bedroom is the largest room in the house. Use your imagination and create something spectacular there!

The lower full basement level with half bath and laundry area is unfinished and can be converted to more living space. It provides access to the heated one-car garage.

While located in the catchment of the Penn Alexander School, living in the catchment area doesn't guarantee admittance. ***OFFER DEADLINE: Monday June 10, 5pm.***
