Property Description

Looking for that perfect home with more space, home office, amazing backyard within 2 blocks of Septa's Overbrook Station for easy transit to Center City or shopping in Ardmore, etc? Well this may be it! Handsomely updated Colonial "Flemish Bond" Brick, 3,150 sf, 5-6 Bedrooms, 2.1 Bath Twin, designed by Keen & Mead c 1899 in the heart of the Nationally Registered Historic Overbrook Farms section of Philadelphia! A Grand Front Porch with fluted columns leads to a handsome Foyer entry with Pompeian brick fireplace and beautiful Bay window. Classic Arts & Crafts interior woodwork and rich hardwood floors can be found throughout along with crafted architectural detailing. The spacious Living Room leads into the elegant Dining Room with large Bay window via French doors. Behind the Dining Room there is ample cabinetry for a pantry, mudroom with laundry, work desk, half bath and access to the back-yard deck. Architect-designed Kitchen featuring beautiful custom cabinetry, granite counters, exposed brick wall, tile backsplash, double sink, gas stove, Island bar with stool seating and opening to Dining area. The 2nd Floor spacious Master Bedroom is bathed in natural light from its ample windows and features a corner Fireplace. Two more large Bedrooms complete this floor along with the updated Bath, which features creative and aesthetic built-ins. The Third floor has three additional rooms, one with built-ins presently used as an office, and a second updated Full Bath. There is attic level storage accessed by a drop-down stair. The home has 200 amp electrical, high-efficiency furnace w central air, hard-wired alarm system and large basement for storage. The home is situated graciously next to a spacious neighboring property. The present owners have turned the backyard into an Urban gardener s paradise with garden shed, raised beds, hardscaping, and structural planting elements. Ideal if you re looking for more space, a home office and/or piece of the country in your back yard while still in the City! Convenient to Center City & the Main-line, local Regional Rail Line (Center City/Paoli/Thorndale) (just a block away), trolley stops & major routes 1, 3, 30 & 76. Coming investment in this historic neighborhood includes a new midrise apartment building, The Elm, planned for 2079 North 63rd Street. It will include 4 Retail spaces on 63rd Street. In 1893, Drexel & Co. purchased the 168-acre John M. George farm & hired Herman Wendell & Walter Bassett Smith to develop a prestigious planned community known as "Overbrook Farms". The best architects of the day (i.e. Horace Trumbauer, William & Walter Price, Charles Barton Keen, Chester Kirk, Westray Ladd et al.) built a variety of styles such as Colonial, Gothic & French Revivals, Arts and Crafts & Queen Anne. It was the first stop on the prestigious Main Line (R5) and it remains a prime example of turn-of-the century railroad suburbs being entered on the National Register of Historic Places in March of 1985. Its charm & beauty endure to this day & make it one of Philadelphia s best places to live!
