Overview

Row/Townhouse, AirLite - PHILADELPHIA, PA

Walk from Honey's or Cafe La Maude to your so spacious 20-foot wide home with a rear patio that opens up to Myrtle street, leading you to the secluded oasis of Orkney Park: a playground, basketball hoop, and small nature oasis all in your backyard! The strikingly beautiful, thin dark stained wood greets you as you enter the first floor. The open span shows you the living, dining and into the kitchen area. The completely renovated kitchen has 11' ceilings and a huge pantry closet. Continue down the hall to a massive bedroom with two side windows and two nicely sized closets. The next room in the long hallway is a rarely seen dedicated 7' x 7' laundry room with top loading washer and dryer. The renovated bathroom has a nice wide shower. Keep walking back to your so so quiet rear master bedroom with closets and bright bathroom with south facing window. The french doors in this bedroom open to the most unique feature of this house. The rear outdoor space opens to the tiny quiet cobblestone Myrtle Street. The current owners love to use this contemporary wood stained fenced in 11' x 19' patio for bbq/entertaining and to park a car! There are 3 huge planters where you can grow your own vegetables or fun plants and there is plenty of outdoor storage space for trash to take out on the weekly pick up day. Take a step away from cookie cutter 14'-16' wide new construction houses to own a unique 20' wide house with creative opportunities. This 2,300 square foot home spans across only two floors, no need to walk up and down four flights of stairs! This property is large as-is, but there's potential to build out the 2nd floor to make the home over 3,000 SF, or add additional outdoor space! The basement has extremely high ceilings and is great storage space. Schedule an appointment today and enjoy lunch at a local caf~ or make it dinner at Dmitri's or Silk City Diner. Yards just opened up a huge beer hall and soon there will be a mini Target attached to that building at 5th and Spring Garden so the location is amazing. You can walk to Old City in about 6 minutes or take public transportation in even faster
