The street-facing facade will be adorned in an attractive manner with context-friendly brick laid in running and herringbone courses. Dormer windows will project from mansard-styled third floor. The attractive, historicist design will be more deferential to the predominantly prewar rowhouse than most of the recently constructed buildings in the immediate vicinity prewar rowhouse neighborhood.
Ceilings will rise ten feet at the first and third floors, and nine feet at the second story and in the basement. A ten-foot-deep deck will cantilever from the ground floor at the rear, with another rear-facing balcony situated at the third floor.
Route 9, 441, 442, and 448 buses run along Ridge Avenue within an eight-minute walk to the northeast of the proposal site. The Ivy Ridge Station on the SEPTA Regional Rail, as well as the route 62 bus, may be reached via an approximately 15-minute walk to the southwest.
