Overview
This Victorian duplex is set across three floors with 19th-century character and substantial original features. The home opens through a traditional Philadelphia vestibule into a main entry hall, with mixed-width hardwood floors throughout (with the first floor refinished). Ceiling heights range from 9 to 12 feet, and original details appear throughout, including slate fireplace mantels, original woodwork, and partially preserved plaster crown molding. Pocket shutters are featured in the parlor and several other rooms. The first floor flows from vestibule and hall to dining room, then kitchen, and out to a back patio that connects to the landscaped garden. The second floor provides three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a second kitchen. The third floor is a self-contained studio with its own full bathroom, kitchen, and an open main room.
The property sits on a double lot and includes a professionally designed garden anchored by a massive oak tree. A full basement with high ceilings adds additional flexibility. While the home is currently configured as three separate living units, it has a rental license for two units.
For tenants, buyers, or operators, the layout offers practical flexibility for residential income or multi-generational living. With two licensed rental units and additional interior space that can support alternative configurations, the property can be used to offset occupancy needs. The basement and multiple kitchens broaden day-to-day functionality, while the outdoor patio and garden provide usable private space.
