THERE IS SO MUCH TO SHARE ABOUT THIS SMALL TOWN FEEL IN A GREAT BIG CITY NEIGHBORHOOD- One pass thru, tells the story. This remarkable find at 4221 is in a perfect position to please based on pricing with room to make your very own. Sure some areas may need a nip/tuck, but the bones are there for you. Bones with Central Air, newer windows, hardwoods likely everywhere, with additional manufactured "wood like" flooring on top in a few rooms, and ceiling fans in all 2nd and 3rd floor rooms. The 8" base molding throughout, a lot of the original doors, and stacked crown molding on the first floor will take you to it's 1899 beginnings, as will the in tact Bold Balustrades, a few mantels and built ins. The home flows as one might expect and currently accommodates a main floor Bedroom as one of the 5. The kitchen has a lot of space with a full pantry, with great access to the redesigned, spacious back patio, complete with knee wall. The second floor has what I might consider a very romantic main bedroom , a second bedroom with a walk in closet, and a 3rd with double door sliders and an additional smaller closet. A full bath just a few steps from all 3. The 3rd floor has a similar floor plan as the second, however-one of the rooms has no closet, and has not been counted as a bedroom. The 3rd floor full bath has that expected and wonderful skylight. The full basement is complete with washer and dryer, walls of storage areas, some daylight, and the mechanicals which includes 2 Air Handlers. One is for the Gas heat, and one is for the Air Conditioning. Clark Park is RIGHT there! Other nearby features include all the eateries of University City , the Trolley, Farmers Market,bike rentals and on and on. 4221 is WITHIN the Alexander Penn Catchment boundaries-with a Lottery driven enrollment...Oh and the sad tree right in front...city will be removing within next 6 months.
