This three-bedroom, two-bathroom house spans 1,812 square feet. Small touches add up in the charming University City property. Honoring the roots of the home that was built in 1953, a 2014 restoration has left much of its craftsman-like elements intact.
“To me, the most craftsman-like aspects of the home are the front facade, mantle, and arched brick fireplace, inlaid flooring, plaster walls, archways, built-ins, and coved ceilings,” says listing agent Bruce Butler of Redkey Realty Leaders. Butler also notes the tile roof as a particularly attractive touch.
On first look, it’s hard not to miss that and the striking stonework on the front façade. Inside the home, there’s a massive fireplace anchoring the living room, which leads to other welcoming spaces on the first floor through beautiful archways. The galley kitchen has a cozy breakfast nook separate from the main dining space. The bedrooms and an office, all with coved ceilings, are on the second floor. Craftsmanship is on display at every turn as custom plaster detail and inlaid wooden floors flow throughout the entire home.
The property has a large front porch overlooking Mooney Park across the street, and a comfortable back patio with just a touch of green space. A single-space garage is tucked under the house on the lower level.
