Stillman Street, providing convenient access for trash removal and bike storage without having to go through the house. A convenient powder room is discreetly tucked away off the hallway on this floor. Upstairs, the charm continues with a rounded doorway and matching rounded door with two glazed panels that lead to the spacious back bedroom. A full bathroom, complete with its original tub, is located between the back and middle bedrooms. The front bedroom features a grand niche above an antique wash basin base. The large, unfinished BASEMENT HAS HIGH CEILINGS and presents an excellent opportunity for future finishing. The home also includes air conditioning and recessed lighting, thoughtfully integrated throughout. Nestled on a picturesque tree-lined street in a vibrant neighborhood, this home offers an abundance of green spaces and easy access to some of Philadelphia's finest attractions.
