3471 MIDVALE AVE Philadelphia, PA 19129

Think architecture in East Falls and you are bound to come up the distinctive three story c.1930 Tudor townhomes located in the 3400 block of Midvale Ave. With dazzling two story leaded glass windows, heavy arched oak doors and stone construction, these homes are often described in architecture books and define the Tudor characteristics of the block which is historically certified. 3471 Midvale is a fine example of these townhomes. Nicely maintained and carefully updated the home retains the original 1930 floor plan and the many original details which lend character and charm. There are exposed wood floors throughout and lots of original woodwork. The large living room is filled with light coming through the leaded glass windows. There is a vaulted two story ceiling, a balcony overlooking the living room from the 2nd floor and a fireplace nook which adds a sense of coziness. The formal dining room is a good size and the kitchen, with a pass through to the dining room, has recently been updated with new appliances and a new floor. The second floor includes the main bedroom with an adjoining bathroom and french doors leading to a deck. Two bedrooms (used currently as an office and a den) plus an updated bathroom comprise the third floor. Look for a new high energy furnace and a recently painted exterior. There is a one car garage. Outdoor green space abounds both in the front of the house with its deep garden and in the rear garden area across the driveway. Very conveniently located the home is close to the train, to the a growing number of East Falls bistros and eateries, to the biking and hiking trails of Fairmount Park, to Kelly Drive, the expressway and only 10 minutes to Center City. Don't miss this wonderful property!
