Property Description
Welcome to the beautiful Tulpehocken Historic District! This historic gem, built in 1885 retains many of the ornate original period details, including chestnut pocket window shutters, Wissahickon schist construction, original wood and plaster molding and wood floors, stained and leaded glass, solid wood doors, and unique English Aesthetic Movement tiles on each of the six fireplaces. Enter the stately double front doors through the vestibule into the foyer. Gaze up the three flights of original pine stairs with detailed carvings that are bathed in light from the stained glass window on the landing. On the main floor you will find a grand living room, a formal dining room, a powder room, laundry, and the sun filled kitchen, completely renovated in 2018. The coziest room in the house is the library with its franklin wood stove. The second floor features two enormous bedrooms and a third bedroom that could also be an office, each with their own fireplace. The master bedroom features a pass through that opens to the closet of your dreams! The master bath is also on this floor and was fully renovated in 2019 to include a custom tile walk-in shower and double vanity. The third floor includes four additional bedrooms and a recently updated full bath with tub and shower. The grounds, a one-third acre fully-fenced and gated corner-lot, completely surround the house with lush gardens, tended lovingly by generations of past owners, retaining its natural, Wissahickon-park like atmosphere. The home features off street parking for two cars as well as ample on-street parking. Access to the Wissahickon is a mere few minutes walk. The Chestnut Hill West line is 2 minutes from your back door at Tulpehocken Station which will have you in Center City in 20 minutes. A friendly, diverse neighborhood full of historic homes makes the Tulpehocken Historic District an incredible place to call home! Check out our write up in Curbed Philadelphia!
