Historic hardwood floors and high ceilings throughout these upper levels add a sense of grandeur, and the alternating living levels provide privacy and flexibility. The sewer and water lines running from the home to the street are just a few years old, and all new electrical has been run for both of the newly renovated upstairs bathrooms. Ideally located just blocks from the shops and restaurants of Fairmount Avenue, Spring Garden community plots, Roberto Clemente Park, and Julia R.
