Property Description
Buyers will love the wonderful space and incredible charm of this c 1920s Arts and Crafts twin located on leafy, quiet one-way Penn St in sought after East Falls. Step inside and notice beautiful wood floors, deep baseboards, stretches of mullioned windows letting in lots of light, a charming living room fireplace flanked by built-ins, enchanting bay windows, French doors, and staircase spindles with a period heart motif. There is definitely a romantic feel to this stately home with six bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The first floor consists of a generous entrance hall, the expansive living room opening through the French doors to an inviting open porch. Long before it was a trend, the wall was removed between the kitchen and dining room creating a roomy area for cooking, dining and entertaining. The 2nd floor consists of three bedrooms including the main bedroom with its large walk-in closet and a hall bathroom. All of the bedrooms on this level have ceiling fans. On the third floor there are three more bedrooms and a full bathroom. All the bedrooms are a good size and each is more charming than the next. While this is a home which buyers will want to continue to update and improve cosmetically, much important work has been done. The full slate roof has been refurbished, a new steam furnace installed, new kitchen appliances added, the chimney re-pointed and lined. There is a new washer and dryer and buyers will enjoy the in-wall speaker system for the kitchen/dining area. Outside fencing was added in the rear creating a charming, private back yard. Pretty gardens in the front add to the homes appeal. 3117 W Penn St is conveniently located within walking distance to the train, the Penn Charter and Jefferson University campuses. The expressway, US 1, Kelly Drive are all easily accessible and center city is just 15 minutes away. A lovely find, well priced for an "as is" sale!
