This home has been thoughtfully restored over the past several years returning it to its original single family layout. Located in the Walnut Hill section of University City just 2 blocks from the 46th and Market El stop, and bus stops which provide easy access to Center City Philadelphia.

The welcoming front porch leads to a vestibule area that is adorned with new casement windows and a fully insulated picture window. The LR has been freshly painted and has an open floor-plan featuring the original coffered ceiling and restored baseboards, complete with a ceiling fan and refinished h/w flooring. The kitchen was remodeled with retro cabinets and a farmhouse sink reminiscent of the time period that the home was built while modernized with high hat lighting, and a tile backsplash. Continue past the large pantry into a BONUS room, complete with a half bath! This room can be used as another bedroom, office, or playroom!

Upstairs the former kitchen was turned into a library. Custom built-in bookshelves tastefully conceal the existing mechanicals.
