Here?s your chance to own a meticulously restored historic home in the heart of Roxborough. This detached house has been thoughtfully updated over the last 11 years, and the result is an architectural gem that you have to see for yourself! The interior and exterior are full of original carpentry, stained glass, and hardwood floors, along with many recently added modern comforts. Enter the home after parking in the two car driveway through a vestibule adorned with intricate stained glass and wood paneling, and continue into the sprawling living room, complete with decorative fireplace, coat closet, and custom window treatments. Beyond the living room is another set of wooden doors with beautiful stained glass, and a cozy den with decorative fireplace and built-in shutters. This room can be enclosed with the existing pocket doors to be used as a fifth bedroom for?those looking to live on one level. Past the den is a large formal dining room, and beyond that is a full bathroom, mud room, and kitchen, all added in 2014. An enormous, fully fenced yard with a wood deck that was also added in 2014, sprawling grassy yard, trees, and storage shed are located at the home's rear. Back inside the house are two staircases to lead you upstairs, the first is in the living room and features impressive woodwork, and the second is off of the dining room. On the second floor you will find three large bedrooms, all receiving ample natural light and with plenty of storage, including in the primary bedroom with built-in California Closets. A full bathroom with a clawfoot tub is at the end of the hall. The entire third floor is one room, featuring dramatic vaulted ceilings, an en suite bathroom, and a wet bar. This room receives incredible natural light and a sweeping view of the area and is currently used as an art studio. Among some of the many updates to the home are replaced central air conditioning in 2018, complete knob and tube removal in 2011, and partial roof replacement and extensive maintenance in 2019 and 2021. This home is situated in an ideal location, and with the Wissahickon just a few blocks away, you can be in?nature in minutes. It is also within quick and easy walking distance to the neighborhood shops along Ridge Avenue, and Manayunk and all that it has to offer is a walk or short drive away. Well-loved, restored homes like this one don't come on the market everyday. Come see it for yourself!
