Beautiful turn-of-the century late-period Queen Anne Victorian twin on one of University City's nicest, widest residential blocks. Exquisite original features include unusual ceramic work on fireplaces, English tiles in vestibule, and original antique mirror in gracious, wide entrance hall. The living room is large enough for a grand piano. Adjoining is a nice sized formal dining room . Lovely original detail and crown molding grace both the living and dining rooms.The extra large kitchen has a pantry closet as well as a large island for casual dining and a wet bar. To the side of the main kitchen is the laundry area. The kitchen leads out to a lovely deck with a fenced and landscaped back yard.Rooms throughout are spacious and comfortable.The wide, paneled oak center hall staircase leads to second floor rooms. These are: a large sitting room with fireplace which has exquisitely detailed ceramic figurines (the sitting room was previously used as a bedroom); a center study/office with a wall of built in shelves; to the rear of the second floor is a nice-sized bedroom adjacent to a large bathroom with walk-in shower, and original stained glass window. Of the third floor rooms, two are currently used as studios, and can easily become bedrooms again or adapted to accommodate a live in nanny or in-laws.There is updated dual zone central air.
