Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Built circa 1895, this elegant brick Victorian three-story twin features an open-ended slate mansard roof with shingled front gabled wall dormers. Inside, the layout includes a front foyer leading to a bright living/dining room with hardwood flooring, wood window shutters, and designer lighting. The European-style kitchen offers heated Marmoleum flooring, Silestone quartz counters, Kraftmaid cherry veneer cabinetry, a skylight, a double farm sink, and a gas cooking range. A rear vestibule provides a full bathroom with stall shower and access to a flagstone patio. The second floor has the main bedroom with hardwood flooring, a double closet, and an updated tiled bathroom with beadboard detailing. The third floor includes two additional bedrooms with hardwood floors.
The home is on a tree-lined street near Pastorius Park and close to Chestnut Hill’s commercial Avenue. Additional improvements include efficient 5-zone mini-split cooling and heating, a high-efficiency Buderus boiler, 200-amp electric service, and recently installed new sanitary and storm lateral lines to the City main. A masonry detached two-car garage includes a storage/work area. The floor plan notes a net area less than the City’s gross improved area.
