OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED!!! Absolutely Extraordinary Townhome w/ private parking situated in the heart of Philadelphia's most exclusive residential neighborhoods and literally steps from beautiful Schyukull River Park. This exceptional 5 bedroom Fitler Square Residence is a true rarity due to its original architectural details that have been preserved both inside and out; only the most discerning buyer will appreciate its spaciousness and elegance, making themselves a proud owner & continuing a tradition of those who have lived here since the early 1800s beginning with members of the distinguished Bower Family, some of the country's first chemists and U of Penn Graduates. Some of the fabulous architectural elements include three huge gorgeous FPs featuring intricate wood carved mantles, original stain and lead glassed windows, a stunning carved oak 3-story staircase and Grand-scale formal rooms with soaring ceilings, massive windows and rich original wood flooring throughout. First floor offers wood paneled vestibule with double doors leading to massive Living Room w/ elegant powder room towards the back, a spacious Formal Dining Room which leads to an lovely updated sun-soaked kitchen. In back you'll find a large area with just enough room for a quaint brick patio and beyond that plenty of space for at least one car (private parking can be accessed from small street behind Spruce complete with new metal garage door w/keypad & automatic garage door opener). Second Floor boasts 2 amazing spaces: Master Suite: its own bath featuring whirlpool tub, separate shower and double sinks, and more than ample closets; and across the hall a stunning room currently being used as the residence's Family Room boasting gorgeous Fireplace, tons of windows and double doors leading out to what could be a wonderful 2nd floor patio. Third floor offers 3 more generous sized bedrooms with good storage and a stylish full hall bath. There is just so much to love about this home - truly a rare gem in one of the city's most celebrated neighborhoods!
