A rare find on one of the best blocks in Old Kensington, this home has been owned by one family since the 1950s and lovingly maintained over the decades. Once a home to a family of 8, and host to many holidays and celebrations, this home was filled with an abundance of warmth and love and is now ready for its next chapter. With over 1300 square feet on a 16x66 lot, this exceptional home features spacious rooms, soaring ceilings, large windows, and a beautiful facade. The facade is a mix of brick and brownstone, and an original cornice is still in place. Enter the home into a tiled vestibule, the perfect space for coats and shoes. The oversized living room features high ceilings, two west-facing windows, and a powder room. There is a separate formal dining room with two windows just off the kitchen. Exit the kitchen into a backyard, which is perfect for a summer BBQ or for gardening. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms plus a shared hall bathroom. This home has amazing bones and is ready for a new owner to update and restore it to its original greatness. Located just steps from the Berks street el stop, which is only 7 stops away from 15th & Market.
