On charming Regent Square, just east of Clark Park in the Spruce Hill neighborhood of University City, this handsome 1710 s.f. townhouse c.1886 was converted to a contemporary style by a previous architect-owner many years ago - and the result is amazing! No longer a series of small, separate Victorian rooms, the first floor has been redesigned as an open, sweeping succession of related spaces, somewhat similar to the University Mews houses built at about the same time. The eat-in kitchen, now at the front of the house, overlooks a full dining room. That, in turn, overlooks an awesome living room/great room a few steps lower, allowing for a dramatic high ceiling. A spectacular wall of windows almost brings the rear patio & garden indoors. The second floor has three bedrooms and a hall bath. The third floor is a main bedroom suite with a dressing area and large bath. Skylights light up the third floor, and there's a door leading to the back roof, providing the possibility for a future roof deck. The seller has updated appliances and mechanicals, and taken care of the systems of the house well, but a new owner will likely want to do some sprucing up, including replacing some windows, refinishing the floors and repainting. This location is in the popular Penn Alexander grade school's catchment area: at the foot of the Regent Square, Clark Park's 2 playground areas beckon. The University of the Sciences is a dependable neighbor just to the south, and Baltimore Avenue, the neighborhood's "main street," is one block north, with coffee shops, small restaurants, and interesting stores.
