This porchfront rowhome in a great location at the foot of the Kingsessing Rec Center grounds is surprisingly spacious, chock-full of charm and was fully renovated just under 10 years ago. Combine a vestibule with original penny tile and wainscoting along with original doors and woodwork with an updated kitchen and baths and central air and you've got the warmth and charm of an old house with 21st-century creature comforts. The good-sized living room has Bruce oak flooring, a large front window, charming turned staircase and oversized archway to the dining room. This space was opened up to the kitchen, where the four windows and open floorplan create a bright and airy space for cooking and communing. The ceramic tiled L-shaped kitchen features white flat-front cabinets, white appliances including a dishwasher, apron sink and butcher block countertops with breakfast bar. The upstairs is flooded with light and has painted original pine floors throughout. The back bedroom has a sweet bay window and original armoire with some intact trim that's just begging to be fully restored. Along with the true middle bedroom with two windows, it shares a hall bath with historically-respectful black and white basketweave tile floor, storage vanity with large basin, and a ceramic tile tub surround. The generous front bedroom has a bay window and large en-suite bath with more basketweave tile, a double vanity with large medicine cabinet and a niche for additional storage. Speaking of storage, there's plenty of that in addition to laundry in the basement. Outdoor space includes the sweet front porch and a small-but-mighty rear porch and yard with a raised garden bed ready to go. This wide block of 50th St tees into an entrance to the nine-acre park that houses the Kingsessing Library and Rec Center, currently undergoing $25M in upgrades, and is convenient to Clark Park, Baltimore Ave, multiple trolley lines and Regional Rail-plus it's a hop and a skip to the Schuylkill Expressway and South Philly via Grays Ferry Ave.
