Back on the market because of buyers' difficulties which had nothing to do with this house! Here's a rare opportunity to live on one of the very "best blocks" in the Garden Court section of University City. This sun-filled, 6 BR, 3+1/2 bath, 3-story twin house was built in 1920 in the "English Cottage Style" as part of developer Clarence Siegel's Garden Court plan. Siegel was the first developer in the area to include garages to accommodate rising auto ownership in West Philadelphia; this property has both a garage and a driveway/parking space, accessed from a wide back alley. (The alley is also popular as a play space for small residents who live on both sides.) In addition to a back yard and deck, there's a wide front yard and a front patio. The current owners, only the third to own the house, have cared for it very well and made many improvements, including a recent kitchen, 2 recent full baths plus upgrades to an original bath, and a finished walk-out basement with a new half bath. One special feature on the 2nd floor is that both the front and rear bedrooms can be used "en suite" with their adjoining baths, providing an unusual level of privacy. The location is within the catchment area for the high-achieving Penn Alexander K-8 public grade school (admittance not guaranteed, but there has been space for all kindergarten applicants for the past few years). And it's just a few blocks from the area's Baltimore Avenue "main street," with locally-owned restaurants, some humble and some grand, providing food for every taste - Vientiane Cafe (Lao/Thai); Vietnam Cafe (Vietnamese); Gojjo & Dahlak (Ethiopian/Eritrean); Aksum & Renata's Kitchen (Mediterranean); The Gold Standard (comfort food) and others. PLEASE NOTE: property tax information is from the Phila(dot)gov city website and TREND MLS public records. Taxes vary based on use.
