Property Description
This graceful,elegant 3-story stone Victorian twin was built in 1876 the year of the Philadelphia Centennial and marketed as "the home of the future." Trolley cars brought people attending the celebration in Fairmount Park to the 3500 block of Ainslie to see what the new homes were all about. Fast forward to 2017 -- The grandeur of the period remains in this impeccable well cared home with 12' ceilings in the LR (10' elsewhere),exposed original wood floors,deep dazzling moldings and mill work, 6'-7' tall windows with deep sills and many with working interior shutters, slate faux fireplace and mantel topped by an ornate mirror, original handsome columns dividing the living and dining rooms. Rooms throughout are large and well proportioned, sun filled and fresh with most of the interior having been recently painted. In addition to the LR and DR, look for an eat in kitchen, first floor laundry and full bathroom, five bedrooms upstairs and an additional full bathroom plus a bonus rooms. Almost all of the windows throughout have been replaced with high end Matus windows, the roof is new, the heating system and hot water heater are also new. The charming rear patio, pergola and gardens are a delight with the lovely landscaping extending down the side of the house. The train is a half block away and it is only 15 min to center city. This home is a "must see" for sure!
