The best of West Philly! This 2970 s.f. three-story townhouse is on a wide, tree-lined street in University City's Garden Court neighborhood. Built c.1921 by community developer Clarence Siegel, it features original French doors, hardwood flooring, leaded glass, a living room fireplace and a grand staircase. And parking! There's a garage off the rear alley, plus an additional parking space in front of the garage. The first floor has a year-round sun porch, large living room, formal dining room, wide-open kitchen/ breakfast room, and a rear deck. Upstairs, there are 5 bedrooms, a sunny second floor family room/ office, and two baths. There's an additional half bath in the unfinished basement. You can live in the house as-is and/or make the changes you want, rather than being stuck with a flipper's insensitive changes!The 46th & Osage-Larchwood location is one of the most popular in West, within the catchment area for the well-regarded Penn Alexander K-8 public grade school*. The house is just a couple of blocks north of Baltimore Avenue - University City's "Main Street" - an eclectic mix of restaurants and shops. Clark Park is only a few blocks away. Catch the trolley on Baltimore Ave. for a fast 15- minute ride to center city Philadelphia, with stops along the way at UPenn, Drexel U, and the 30th St. transportation hub. (*Catchment area address doesn't guarantee admittance.)
