A tiny little house appears in that address that looks completely out of place.
Hopefully, this will blend into the existing fabric of the neighborhood to complete the block.
There is a small park one block to the north.
This block is approximately a half-mile walk from the Huntingdon station of the Market-Frankford Line above Kensington Avenue.
Septa serves the neighborhood with Bus routes 39 and 5.
Always appreciate the added detail Smilin Brian.
I always look forward to reading your thoughts. 👍🏼
The elevation, zoning section, and site plans show no evidence of “two accessory off-street parking spaces”, which is good news indeed.
It’s unusual that a home this large at 3,014 square feet has only two bedrooms. However, there are multiple “recreation” spaces, two dens, two roof decks, and a side yard. Perfect for a couple with or without one child who often entertain.
I was under the impression that the off-street parking garage was in the back.
