**Home first became available for in-person showings on May 23rd. No showings, virtual or otherwise, had previously occurred. The home will be available for showings on Saturdays and Sundays only.**Just a bit off Main Street, this impeccably maintained Manayunk home, on a charming block, features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a fenced-in yard. Classic details abound but not at the expense of modern conveniences! This move-in ready Manayunk row offers central air, replacement windows, a finished basement, and a first floor powder room! You are greeted by a covered front porch which invites you to have an evening beverage while visiting with neighbors on crisp Spring nights. Through the (energy-saving!) vestibule with transom window is a large, but intimate, living room that boasts two considerably sized windows that provide plenty of natural light, wide-plank, hardwood floors, and a fireplace surround topped by a period appropriate mirror. It is impossible to miss the tremendous architectural details highlighted throughout the home. Original doors, hardware, hinges, baseboards, railings, arched doorways, and 9 foot ceilings envelop this home with endless character. Step directly into the dining room and you ll immediately notice the gracious proportions, decorative ceiling rose, mosaic tiled fireplace surround with period mirror atop, and convenient access to the kitchen as well as the off-set staircase to the second floor. The ample, eat-in kitchen offers recently installed appliances, including a coveted Bosch gas range and dishwasher, original parquet wood floors, loads of natural light, and plenty of storage for the home chef. Beyond the kitchen sits an over-sized powder room with yet more storage and the rear vestibule with access to a surprisingly well-sized, fenced-in backyard. The fence is also conveniently gated for easy access to the side street. Partial hardscaping allows for hours upon hours of summer fun and barbecues with friends and family. The second floor offers a huge master bedroom that was recently renovated to maximize closet space and storage. This light-filled room also has a pass through door to the center bedroom. The two slightly smaller bedrooms are incredibly functional, and downright charming. The full bath on this floor offers loads of storage! The partially-finished basement is a rare added bonus for this neighborhood. Currently used as a bar / hangout space, this basement is large and dry and open to endless possibilities. The utility room and laundry room with new washer and dryer are also in the basement. Other touches that add value to the home include new front and rear doors, Pottery Barn light fixtures, curtain rods, and shelves. A walker s paradise, Manayunk is known for its vibrant nightlife, biking, dog-walking, and jogging along the Towpath, as well as its award-winning restaurants and renowned street festivals. 140 Vassar Street is just blocks away from Main Street and steps from public transportation so you won t miss a thing.
