Diamond in the rough! The opportunity to purchase a 2260 sqft twin of this size in Somerton situated on an unusually large .38 acre lot rarely presents itself. Endless possibilities exist for Buyers who appreciate the timeless charm of the hardwood flooring and woodworking details and have the vision to breathe new life into this very special home. A large window graces the living room, where you will also find the staircase leading to the upper floors. A quaint butler’s pantry with wide cabinets is conveniently positioned between the formal dining room and the spacious kitchen space. A mudroom with a powder room leads to a small back porch overlooking a huge backyard. Not to be overlooked is the detached 2-car oversized garage with overhead storage and newer garage doors and a driveway which can support at least four additional cars; parking for family and friend get-togethers is simply not a concern. Sure to become the ultimate gathering place is the sizable 22’X17’ front porch with arched transom windows. There are four bedrooms, a study, and a full bath with tub on the 2nd and 3rd floors, so there is a room for EVERY need: overnight guests, quiet home office, craft, or toy room. Storage is not a problem as the 3rd floor has a two-door hall closet AND a storage room with shelving for holiday decorations, board games, collectibles, old paperwork etc. It’s easy to imagine renovating the entire 3rd floor to become a huge primary bedroom suite. The possibility of subdivision of this large lot may exist; please check with the Philadelphia Zoning Office for more details on this process. Recently converted to gas, an important special feature is a newer heater. This established neighborhood is in a fabulous location as it is a quick walk to train and bus stations. Room measurements are approximate.Offered in as-is condition and priced accordingly. Please do not pull into the driveway or walk around the home without a scheduled showing.
