Description

Welcome to this exceptional 5 bedroom, 2.5 bath end-of-row home, with a GARAGE, in the heart of historic East Falls; one of Northwest Philadelphia’s most walkable, bikeable, and community-forward neighborhoods. Lovingly and meticulously restored by its current owners, this home radiates warmth, character, and craftsmanship. Every room reflects their commitment to preserving original details while elevating the home for today’s modern lifestyle. Enter through the heated, window-lined front porch and step into the sun-filled living room with original cathedral glass and stained-glass windows, lofty ceilings, a stunning staircase, hardwood flooring, and a beautiful original light fixture. The generous dining room is perfect for everyday meals and memorable gatherings and features a built-in butler’s cabinet and a stylish powder room with pocket door. A fully renovated eat-in kitchen is a true showstopper: custom quarter-sawn solid oak cabinetry, leathered finish granite countertops, a wide island with seating for four, and the centerpiece - a beautifully restored Chambers stove complete with built-in warmer and broiler/griddle, vented to the exterior. Glass doors open to a private patio ideal for relaxing, grilling, or playing. An airy sunroom with underfloor heating, two skylights, and additional access to the backyard and side entrance, creates seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A handy back staircase leads directly from the kitchen to the second floor. The second floor features 3 bedrooms, including a spacious front room which was used as a family room, but is also perfect as a large second-floor primary. A pristine original hall bath with stained-glass window and a thoughtfully designed laundry room offer everyday convenience. The laundry room incorporates clever built-ins, closet space, and the home’s original porcelain sink hutch - charming and functional. On the third floor you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a newly added full bath. The rear bedroom could serve as a walk-in closet, office, or private retreat, creating an ideal third-floor primary suite. The unfinished basement provides excellent storage and includes direct access to the garage—making parking simple and secure. Notable upgrades include: updated electrical system (no knob and tube); two zone central AC, Anderson Renewal windows, fresh neutral paint, and an energy-efficient tankless water heater. Living in East Falls, you will enjoy the Saturday farmer’s market, many community events, super local restaurants, a community theater and live music at The Fallser Club. AND, this home is 4-minutes from both the train station (17 minutes to Center City) and the Schuylkill River Trail - a biker, runner or walker’s dream! AND, an amazing sledding hill - fun for kids and adults! Easy access to I-76, and minutes to Manayunk, City Line Ave. and more! All photos with furniture have been digitally staged.
