Center City Team Spotlight: 342 E. Upsal St.
Let’s give some love to East Mt. Airy! I’m digging this cute-as-a-button 2-bedroom, 1-bath home. A bit north of our normal hangouts, it’s a sweet deal on a sweet suburban street for a commuter or anyone working in North Philly.
Built 100 years ago, this home has been remodeled down to the studs! You get all that 1914 charm with plenty of updates. For instance, the handsome red brick fireplace has been left alone, along with the quirky, curving staircase and dormer roof in the second bedroom.
Right from the curb, this townhome screams “home.” Inviting details start with the exterior: your front yard is a few steps up from the sidewalk, and a covered porch will shield you while you gather your things! Step through the front door and savor the view of a contemporary, wide-open floor plan that allows you to look straight to the back of the home.
It’s plenty roomy at 960 square feet, especially in the bedrooms. The master bedroom sports a sizable, three-door closet with space for all your things… yes, even my fellow shopaholics and shoe addicts.
At the same time, the kitchen boasts stately cherry cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Not only are the hardwood floors shining and gorgeous, but there’s central air as well. All systems and electrical components are spanking new as well.
You are pretty much getting all the benefits of fresh construction in an established neighborhood and with the character of an old house!
All this is to say nothing, by the way, of the enormous back yard where kids or pets will get a kick out of running around, and the deck where you’ll adore entertaining guests in balmy weather.
And get this, city dwellers… there are no fewer than THREE parking spaces. Take a moment and process that.
342 E. Upsal St. recently saw a modest price cut, bringing the sticker down to $134,900. If you’ve peeked at Center City real estate listings recently, you know that’s a hell of a deal. Give Frank a call today to schedule a showing!
