119 N Farson St

A house with room for days that's handsomely renovated and has a large, low-maintenance outdoor space--what more could you ask for? This West Philly home on an extra-deep lot leaves no box unchecked. Oak floors and high ceilings with recessed lighting span the open first-floor layout with an electric fireplace in the living area, a deep bay window and cage chandelier in the dining space, and a kitchen that is every bit as functional as it is stylish. There's more than ample storage in fresh white cabinetry (including a pantry), which is topped with granite counters with undermount stainless sink with prep basin. Stainless steel appliances including a Whirlpool French door fridge and a glass tile backsplash complete the package. Out back there's a large deck and lower patio that provide more than enough room for a grill and table and to create your ideal oasis, whether that's an outdoor lounge, an urban garden or a playspace. Five bedrooms with plush, neutral carpet are spread across the upper two floors. The second floor has large front and rear bedrooms. Each has enough space for a king bed, and the rear has a super-convenient laundry closet with Whirlpool frontloaders tucked behind a barn door. The middle bedroom has been transformed into a dreamy walk-in closet/dressing room that, combined with hall storage cabinets, provides an amount of storage unheard of in a rowhome. The large bathroom has two windows and ceramic tile flooring and half-wall/tub surround. The third floor offers two more nicely sized bedrooms, and the basement with high ceilings is mostly finished with drywall, recessed lighting and a nice powder room. And since it runs the full length of the home, it can still have seasonal storage and workshop space even with a large media room/den/bonus room. Tucked between Market St and Haverford Ave, this quiet residential block is in a great West Philly location convenient to the commercial strips, the El and Cobbs Creek green space.
