Property Description
This is a wood shaker and stone Victorian twin sitting on a true double lot, just shy of half an acre, which is basically unheard of in this part of Philadelphia. You've got a large covered front porch, yard space on all sides, and a fenced backyard that stretches even beyond the fence line into the gully behind. It feels quiet, wooded, and a little bit like you forgot you're still in the city.
You enter through the original wood and leaded glass door into a vestibule that sets the tone right away. This home has been cared for, and it shows. Only three owners have had the privilege of living here. From the main hallway with a large coat closet, the layout just makes sense. To the right is a sunny living room. To the left is a bright, oversized dining room with deep windows and hardwood floors that continue throughout the home.
The dining room leads into an eat-in kitchen with a double sink, tall gooseneck faucet, double oven, cooktop, and stainless appliances. Off the kitchen is a butler's pantry with original built ins, a convenient half bath, and access to the covered back porch. Step out back and you'll see just how much land you actually get here.
Upstairs, the hardwood continues. The second floor has laundry where you actually want it, along with a large bedroom and a full hall bath with a glass door tub shower, granite sink, ceramic tile floor, and a walk in closet. There are two more generously sized bedrooms on this level, both bright, both with walk in closets. There is no shortage of storage in this house, which is not something you say often in a Victorian.
The third floor gives you even more flexibility. Another bedroom, a finished attic space, and a primary suite that feels tucked away in the best way. The ensuite bathroom has been recently renovated with a wall of windows, double sinks, and a glass enclosed shower. It's a great balance of original character and updates where you want them.
Outside, the property is full of life with mature plantings and fruit trees including pear, cherry, serviceberry, plum, paw paw, native mulberry, and blueberry bushes. It's the kind of yard you can actually use, not just look at.
The basement was waterproofed in 2018. There are two AC zones with mini splits on the first floor and central air serving the second and third.
If you've been trying to find something with real space, real character, and a setting that feels a little different from the typical Roxborough twin, this might be it.
