Hidden in the coveted and historical neighborhood of Queen Village, awaits a gorgeous and secluded garden oasis! Enter through the wrought iron gate into this private and tranquil micro-neighborhood. The courtyard leads to this stunning double-wide brick Trinity home. The front patio covers the expanse of the house and has space for a grill, table, chairs, and plants. You'll notice the gorgeous window boxes that are done each season by Enliven Planters. Both doors from the brick patio lead into the first floor, which offers an abundance of natural light. Charm exudes throughout the house including gleaming hardwood floors on each level, and a stunning exposed brick wall between the kitchen and living room. The first floor features a nice-sized living room as well as an updated kitchen. The larger eat-in kitchen has granite countertops, beautiful cabinetry and new appliances (refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher all replaced in 2018). Heading down into the finished basement space there is a large family room with a beautiful brick mantle, wood burning stove and a half bath, perfect for hosting Eagles games. The laundry is located in the unfinished portion of the basement with ample storage and shelving. Upstairs on the second floor is a full bathroom and a closet/dressing room with large closets that leads into the primary bedroom. The spacious primary bedroom has a custom built-in bed, shelves, and storage with sconces perfect for nighttime reading. On the third floor there are two additional bedrooms with plenty of windows that flood the rooms with natural light. This home has all the character in line with a historic Philadelphia home, but with the modern upgrades and amenities that suit today's lifestyle. Some of the upgrades include a new roof in 2017, replaced entire HVAC and hot water heater in 2019 and all new appliances in 2018. As if this home couldn't get any better, it is one of seven properties that bought into the shared community courtyard (owner paid $5,000 to buy into the co-op). The entrance to the community courtyard is right across the brick lane and includes gardening space, a large area for dining with a table, access to a shared grill, use of deck and the community shed. The cost of the courtyard ownership is approximately $200/year (for taxes and insurance) and is set up as an LLC and ownership is by share.
