Property Description

Step in under the sycamore canopy and discover this lovely porch front row home overlooking the only block of Osmond St in the city! The bluestone steps and walk lead up past a layered shade garden to an open covered porch, screened by mature Japanese maple trees. The porch offers plenty of space for outdoor seating and the elevation above the sidewalk, long season foliage, and copper rain chain contribute to high levels of enjoyment in all weather. Upon entering the house, you are greeted by an open floor plan, original hard wood floors and loads of light. One large original window looks out over the front walkway, while the dining room, kitchen and bedrooms all have newer windows. The original galley kitchen was opened to the dining room by removing a wall and adding a large island with butcher block top and wide drawers. The kitchen has a newer induction top electric stove with convection, tiled backsplash, a deep farmhouse enamel sink with tall sprayer faucet, and black Richlite countertops. There are plenty of upper and lower cabinets as well as a pegboard for hanging all your pots and pans, a dishwasher and retro refrigerator with bottom freezer. The recessed lighting and full glass door bathe the kitchen in light. The kitchen door opens to a spacious deck with built-in garden boxes as well as a beautiful pergola with native honeysuckle vine and mature concord grapevine, plus loads of room for hanging plants. The basement level includes the laundry room with washer, dryer, and utility sink. A brand new boiler is being installed the week of 10/6, and the hot water heater which is 1 year old. The original garage, accessed off the alley, has been utilized as a workshop and storage space but could be easily returned to garage use. Outside there is driveway parking for 2 cars. The second floor has 2 large bedrooms with hard wood floors and ample closet space. The bathroom has a beautiful hexagonal tiled floor in varying shades of gray/green along with an updated vanity, original built-in medicine cabinet, newer toilet, and original tub shower. The original subway tile wainscot has been accented with a new green ceramic tile surround. The whole bathroom is filled with light from the operable skylight window. East Falls is a wonderful neighborhood which offers close proximity to both center city and the Wissahickon Valley portion of Fairmount Park. From Osmond Street it is a short walk to the Nouvaux Market, Falls of the Schuylkill Library, the East Falls Farmers Market, and the Schuylkill River Trail. The Fallser Club is a growing local music venue, and the neighborhood has many popular coffee shops and restaurants including Billy Murphy’s Saloonery, Fiorino, Vault+ Vine, and Thundermug. The home has been pre-inspected. Come find your new home in the best community, on the best block in Philadelphia!
