This University City/ West Philly townhouse IN the catchment area for the well-regarded Penn Alexander K-8 public grade school is priced to sell quickly! The house was completely rehabbed from top to bottom, including all mechanicals, in 2005 and has been beautifully cared for by its attentive owner ever since. All plumbing, HVAC & electric were brand-new: no need to worry about a single bit of knob & tube wiring or old piping here! Plus, the house is now super-insulated: even while the owner was working from home last winter, the highest gas bill was $140 (and usually it's $20-$35/month), and the electric bill averages $45/month. Carefully preserved original details like the sweet little living room mantle (with a Vermont castings gas stove) and the original Victorian staircase add personality. You'll never have to worry about parking - there's a very large garage, accessed via Moravian St. in the rear, and the garage is topped with an equally large roof deck off the second floor rear family room. The family room has a gas fireplace surrounded by built-in bookshelves, and a pair of sunny French doors that open to the deck. The main BR suite is luxurious, and there are three additional bedrooms/ office spaces, plus another bath, on the 3rd floor. This Spruce Hill location is around the corner from shops & restaurants at 45th & Walnut Sts. and close to the Blue Line subway, SEPTA buses to center city, grocery stores, parks and even a movie theater. (Catchment area location doesn’t guarantee admittance to the school.)
