Description
This classic porchfront rowhome on a great Cobbs Creek block puts homeownership within reach. Even better, it puts making a home in a sweet house that’s full of charm–starting right off with the porch with beadboard ceiling and original front door–within reach. The living room has an oversized front window and decorative mantel, followed by a spacious open dining room and kitchen. An original corner closet with glass door remains, while the rest of the space has been fully updated with recessed lighting, white Shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances including a Samsung five-burner gas range and a stainless steel sink with pulldown faucet. There are ample windows with extra-deep sills including one above the sink that opens to the rear mudroom with laundry hookups, allowing light to pour in from the skylight and window in that space. Up the staircase with original banister are three beds and a hall bath. The spacious primary bedroom has a bay window and absolutely gorgeous light. The rear bedroom is spacious enough for a queen bed and the middle is also a true bedroom, but would make a great home office or dressing room. The bathroom has handsome, subtly veined oversized ceramic flooring and tub surround, a functional skylight and a vintage medicine cabinet. This quiet one-way block is not a through street–it starts at Christy Rec Center, which has a pool and is currently undergoing major renovations and upgrades, and T’s at Baltimore Ave for easy access to shopping, dining and the trolley into Center City.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
