If you're a lover of Colonial architecture and high-end carpentry, then you will instantly fall in love with this Queen Village home! Coming in at almost 18' x 140', the possibilities are endless. The unique architecture of this property actually consists of three trinity's that were combined over time. The middle building is believed to date back to the mid-1600's, while the adjoining buildings were built around the late 1800's. Over time, these houses were combined, with the backroom added in 1990, to create a special home. Upon purchasing it in the late 70's, the owners rehabbed most of the property with ornate and detailed design and trim throughout to give it a colonial feel. Almost every room in the house has a fireplace and unique custom built-in cabinets and shelving . It's easy to feel like a giddy kid looking through all the secret doors, nooks and crannies. The main entrance to the house opens up into a beautiful and welcoming room, with the primary stairs in front of you and sightlines up several more steps to the main part of the house. In the middle room, the original trinity, you can immediately feel the history, including a tucked away door to a second stairwell. Continuing back, you enter the warm and cozy kitchen, with thick durable cabinetry not found anymore, but freshened up with newer appliances and fixtures, along with the third set of stairs to the upper floors. The kitchen then opens up into a large family room with vaulted ceilings . Not to be missed is the massive backyard, the size of most South Philly homes, with beautiful trees, a shed for storage, and a private alleyway running along the side of the house. The second floor contains two bedrooms, each with en-suite full bathrooms, along with two separate stairwells to private rooms on the third floor. The front bedroom on the third level contains an en-suite full bathroom with a walk-in master closet. The back bedroom is accessed by a lofted sitting area, and contains its own en-suite full bathroom and access to a rear balcony. This home has been loved by the owners for 4 decades, and is looking for the perfect family to incorporate its historical charm with some fresh updates! Conveniently located within walking distance of all of the great shopping and restaurants in Queen Village, but a few blocks from the Delaware River and access to I-95 and the box stores, all of your needs are nearby. Monthly parking is available at the lot across the street.
