It?s a unicorn house: A real-deal starter home?affordable and not fancy but not a fixer?one block from Clark Park. This sweet home has a spacious floorplan, new flooring throughout the main level, eat-in kitchen with wood cabinets and new appliances, main-floor laundry/mudroom with new washer and dryer, and original slate fireplace to center your living room around. There are three sunny bedrooms upstairs and a lovely updated bathroom with porcelain tile floors, large window and tub with subway tile surround and bench. The front porch with pretty wood details is classic West Philly, and the back patio offers a second option for outdoor space, container gardens and bike storage. There are large windows throughout, and additional exposures over the breezeway really make the house lovely and bright. The basement has good ceiling height and could be doable as a home workshop in addition to storage. This right-size house is just off the Woodland Ave strip, with local faves Four Worlds Bakery, Little Delicious and the Lil? Pop Test Kitchen & Bakery and the 36 and 11 trolley lines around the corner. The newly merged St. Joe?s and University of the Sciences University City campus is an easy two-block commute. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the Grays Ferry Crescent Trail Park, the Woodlands and Bartram?s Garden nearby.
