Own a piece of history. This semi was one of the first 4 homes built in Pennside by the city industrialists who lived in the city and wanted a summer retreat in the "country" close to the popular Carsonia park, a recreational park in the early 1900's. The tax records say it was built in 1920 but, it was probably built as a single home before 1911 and later converted to 2 separate semi-det. dwellings. This home has lots of charm and the current owners did an awful lot to make the home show better by refinishing the hardwood floors in the LR & DR. They replaced the window overlooking the back yard with a brand new huge picture window which lets in abundant light as does the front casement window with leaded glass transom over top. You can look in the front window and see into and through the DR to the back yard. The kitchen is a galley type with a breakfast nook surrounded by windows almost like a sunroom. The new stove, refrigerator, washer and gas dryer remain. Off street parking.
