This spacious, classically charming South Philly home near Marconi Plaza has been nicely updated and is in a great location close to the stadiums. Highlights are the gleaming original oak floors with mahogany inlay, the newly renovated bathroom, the fully finished basement with additional full bath, and the potential for off-street parking. A bright and airy (and heated!) sunroom welcomes you in and doubles as a great work-from-home space. The large living room with decorative stone fireplace and formal dining room with two closets and basement access are separated by a wide archway, making for designated spaces while having a nice open feel. At the rear is the spacious kitchen with access to a handy outdoor space to grill or to start a container herb garden. The kitchen features ceramic tile floors, crown molding and an efficient L-shaped layout with wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a five-burner range, two windows and plenty of floor space to add a bistro set for morning coffee. There are three nicely sized bedrooms upstairs, all with good closet space, along with the tastefully renovated bathroom with original skylight, ceramic tile flooring and tub surround, marble-topped vanity and linen closet. The walkout basement offers plush carpet and is a great option for a media room or guest room. It has its own large storage closet plus a bathroom with stall shower, linen storage and full-size stackable washer and dryer. There’s direct access to the rear from this level; remove the fence to create off-street parking or leave as is for outdoor hangs and a convenient spot to pull up and unload groceries. Community greenspace is nearby at Marconi Park and there’s easy access to I-95, I-76 and the Broad Street Line to get you pretty much anywhere else.
