Property Description
4-6 bedroom, spacious, light-filled mid-1800's home with tons of potential, on one of Bella Vista's most beautiful blocks. Located just footsteps away from both Cianfrani Park and Palumbo Park, extending street-to-street from Fitzwater to Pemberton, this one-of-a-kind handyman's special includes three exposures, parking potential and loads of original features. This home is in the Meredith catchment, and sits between two newly-renovated family-owned properties. The elegant vestibule and entry hallway boasts original millwork and unique features such as original anaglypta wallcovering and archway detailing to the grand staircase. The staircase's original architectural features include raised frame paneled wainstcoting and a continuous curving handrail all the way from the first to third floors. The entire first floor has new hardwood floors, with the exception of new tiled flooring in the eat-in kitchen. The high-ceiling living room and dining room connect via a unique set of arched, glass-paneled doors and feature original crown molding. An eat-in kitchen with three large windows overlooks a breezeway and charming walled garden of flowering trees, which opens onto Darien and Pemberton streets, with parking potential. The first floor also includes a convenient powder room. The second floor includes a very spacious, airy master bedroom with large sunny windows and an original fireplace mantle of Pennsylvania marble. Built-in bookshelves and window seating overlooks Fitzwater Street. An adjacent second bedroom features a unique, curved wall, a closet and overlooks the walled garden and Darien Street. The second floor also features a very large full bath with laundry, as well as a powder room. On the third floor, another spacious, bright bedroom with his-and-hers closets and two windows overlooks Fitzwater Street. An adjacent bedroom, with closet, boasts large windows overlooking Darien Street and with an unobstructed view of the Philadelphia skyline. The third floor also features a large under-stair closet storage space. A separate staircase leads to the fourth floor, a former servant's quarters consisting of two bedrooms in the dormers with great views of the surrounding Bella Vista neighborhood and Philadelphia skyline. In addition, the Lower Level has a full cement basement runs the length of the home, has excellent headroom and can be accessed from Fitzwater Street.
