A modernized full bathroom retains historic charm. The top floor hosts a versatile great room with pinewood floors, recessed lighting, and dormer windows showcasing views of the block's new architecture, perfect as a bedroom, hobby space, or retreat. The hardscaped back porch, framed by an ivy wall and 6-foot fence, creates a private oasis. Central AC and modern amenities ensure comfort while preserving historic allure. New roof in 2025! Just steps from Cafe La Maude, Bardot, and eclectic shops, with easy access to the Market-Frankford El and Girard Ave Trolley, this home offers an unmatched lifestyle in a thriving neighborhood.
