Description

Welcome to this one of a kind home! The story was told that the home was originally the office and boarding house for the immigrants who came to America and worked in the culinary/cooking industry for Ms. Paul's (fish sticks/pierogies/ frozen dinners). This home features 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 enclosed porches. The hardwood floors have been refinished throughout most of the home . The dining room has Exotic Blood Wood hardwood floors and the kitchen has heated tile floors. All 3 bathrooms are newly renovated, while keeping the original characteristics of the home. The home's historical characteristics were cared for over the years and speaks for itself!! The first floor main rooms are adorned with amazing crown moldings, some wainscoting, and hardwood floors. There are 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor, and 2 bed rooms on the 3rd floor and a full bathroom on each level (3 total)! The home is situated on a double lot, one of the largest lots in the Borough...The home has plenty of parking, 2 car parking in front of the home and 2 car parking behind the main gates. You cannot find that anywhere in Roxborough or Manayunk!!!The backyard is fenced in with vinyl fencing and speaks for itself, you are "in the city" but not and only a few blocks from Wissahickon Park! You can walk to many well known eateries in the area such as Henry James, Chubbys, Dalesandro's, Hilltown, and ALL OF MANAYUNK!! There are bus terminals at Henry Avenue and Ridge Avenue, which run into center city and far out of the city. The Wissahickon Train Station is a walking distance and a 12-15 minute ride into Jefferson Station (Center City)! If you want the taste of historical Philadelphia and all the people who came here to make America what it is, but enjoy the green luxuries of living in the suburbs, this is the home for you!
