Warm and wonderful renovated home on lovely University City block in the Penn Alexander Catchment. The best of all worlds. Original character, detail and woodwork, and hardwood floors throughout, as well as a modern renovation, including a granite and stainless kitchen, 2-zone HVAC, modern baths, all replacement windows, and new roofs. 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, plus a bonus finished attic space. A front garden with blooming cherry tree, small rear patio, and a comfortable front porch that the sellers always use. Exposed brick and beams. Spacious living room with a pleasant and warming gas fireplace. Just a great home on an especially great block. This block has tons of Penn Alexander (and future Penn Alexander) students. So neighborly, with block parties, people out on porches, just really awesome friendly neighbors. And what a convenient University City location. Within 2 blocks of the Penn Alexander Catchment School, CVS, Green Line, Honest Tom's, Local 44 and the Bottle Shop, Pop Shop, supermarket, and just several blocks to Clark Park, awesome Farmers' Market, and so many coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping. Close to HUP, CHOP, Penn, Drexel, University of the Sciences. 10 minutes to Rittenhouse Square by car or bike and plenty of convenient SEPTA options. Tremendous opportunity in the Penn Alexander Catchment (Three years in a row, all Kindergarten registrants offered spots. For 2015-2016, no Lottery. All registrants have spots).
