Property Description
Stunning & Secluded 3‑Bedroom, 2‑Bathroom in Historic East Falls! Welcome to this fairytale-like, bi‑level apartment tucked away in the rear of a beautifully preserved Tudor/Colonial triplex. Lovingly cared for, in an Owner‑occupied building, this unique residence combines old‑world charm with modern comforts, including central air and in-unit laundry. This serene space offers a rural feel right in the heart of a bustling location. A gated path along the side of the building leads to your own private entrance and porch, an ideal spot for a table and grill. Upon entering, you'll discover a spacious layout bathed in natural light. The open kitchen features plenty of wooden cabinets, great counter space, a gas range with vent, and a dishwasher, making cooking a joy. A cozy dining area rests in the corner, adjacent to the charming living room with its beautiful windows, wooden floors, ornate staircase, and room for a comfortable entertainment or relaxation space. A door separates the living and dining areas, and there's a closet under the stairs for coats and extra storage. Upstairs, you'll find three sizable bedrooms, each with its own unique character, original wood flooring, and large windows that fill the spaces with natural light. The primary suite offers ample closet space, a ceiling fan for added comfort, and a screened door that leads to a serene, covered porch — a bird's‑eye view of the backyard affectionately called the “tree house” by long‑term tenants. This room also includes a primary, en‑suite bathroom with period tile, a bathtub, vanity, and window. The hall bathroom also showcases original tile details and a window, with a stall shower and a convenient stackable laundry area. The additional bedrooms offer comfort and charm, including a carpeted rear room with a roomy closet, perfect for roommates, a guest room, home office, or cozy hideaway. Outside, the common area is a private oasis — an enclosed garden with mature plants and trees, a hammock, fire pit, seating area, and plenty of space for gathering with friends or relaxing. Despite its tranquil setting, this one‑of‑a‑kind property is steps from the Queen Lane Regional Rail Station, making commutes to Chestnut Hill or Center City and the Philadelphia Airport a breeze. It's also walkable or a quick bus ride to the East Falls Station for easy access to nearby Manayunk and surrounding suburbs. Faculty and students will appreciate proximity to Jefferson University, Drexel Medical School, and other local colleges, as well as schools and major hospitals close by. Enjoy nearby attractions like McMichael Park, the Wissahickon and Kelly Drive trails, plus the restaurants, cafés, and shops of East Falls, Manayunk, Germantown, and Chestnut Hill. With its blend of comfort, character, and convenience, this beautiful residence is ideal for anyone seeking the best of both worlds, a peaceful retreat close to the city!
