Property Description
This is the one! Set back from Midvale Avenue in the very heart and soul of historic East Falls, this impeccably maintained Tudor revival home is the perfect blend of old world elegance with modern amenities and conveniences. Nestled within a park-like landscape of towering sycamore trees, lush ivy and meandering flagstone walkways, the setting is reminiscent of a quaint English village. Follow the front walkway up to the picture perfect covered porch. Framing the front entryway, you'll find an intimate flagstone patio and sitting area, only one of three well-planned outdoor living spaces. The sky blue doorway welcomes you into the home where you are greeted by a warm and spacious living area with original, inlaid hardwood flooring. Two steps up through the graceful archways is the semi-formal dining room, perfectly suited for either a grand holiday dinner, or a lazy weekend breakfast. Here you'll notice historical craftsmanship like curving plaster work, mirrored, divided light built-ins and interior shutters, details that are evident throughout. From there, head into the inviting heart of the home, an enormous, updated kitchen with SS appliances, expansive counter space, abundant cabinetry, tile backsplash and beautiful natural light. The kitchen leads outside to a shared courtyard with grill area, garden and charming landscaped arbor. Beyond the courtyard is the one car, attached garage, shared driveway with 2nd parking space and another large, flagstone patio for alfresco dining. Situated on an extra deep wooded lot with mature trees, this property immerses you in the sights and sounds of nature, even while living in the City. Back inside, head down to the very functional finished basement, the perfect office/play room, featuring a full bathroom, laundry room, and three large storage areas. Upstairs, the second floor provides three spacious bedrooms, a full, updated bath with tub, a second full bath with shower, and best of all, a roof deck! The roof deck has recently been redone with weatherproof composite decking, vinyl railing system and a custom, motorized, retractable awning. Here, you can enjoy cool summer evenings with views out over the wooded, sylvan setting which makes this community so unique. High velocity central air conditioning rounds out the complete package of features. Located within walking distance to public transportation, Kelly Drive, shopping, restaurants and more. Only a 10-15 min commute to Center City. You won't want to miss this gem in sought-after East Falls!
