This sunny, southwest-facing end-of-row townhouse at the corner of 50th & Pine Sts. is move-in ready and unusually large 1856 sf on the 1st & 2nd floors, PLUS a finished basement with a built-in garage. Located in the historic 1920s Garden Court neighborhood of University City in West Philly, the house is within the catchment area for the grades K-8 H.C. Lea Public School, which receives support from the University of Pennsylvania. Enter through the front sun room, into a large living room with a gas fireplace. Next, theres a spacious dining room - or you might want to use it as a second living room because the oversized eat-in kitchen has room for a dining table plus countertop dining space for four. The remodeled kitchen has bamboo flooring, tall wooden cabinets, Corian countertops, and a pantry. From the living room, the handsome original staircase leads up to four good-sized bedrooms and a tile bath on the second floor. The woodwork is all original, and there are beautiful oak floors outlined with walnut borders throughout the house. On the lower level, the approximately 500 sf of above-grade finished space includes a family room, office, half bath and a ground level exit on the 50th St. side of the house - great extra space which could be a perfect spot for a home office with its own separate entrance. Theres also storage space and interior access to the garage on this level. The location is 5 blocks from the Lea School, 1 block from Malcolm X Park, and around the corner from Barkan Park.
