Half-acre plus organic hobby farm and single family house in the heart of Northeast Philadelphia. All flower, veggie and herb gardens will be prepped and planted for this year before closing. This 3BR/2.5 BA house sits on .56 acres with low Philadelphia property taxes. As you pull into a deep driveway that goes about 100 feet down to the double sized detached garage, you are welcomed by a large front patio ideal for that newspaper and morning coffee! Inside, you are met by a sprawling living room with some exquisite woodwork floor to ceiling. Notice the beautiful oak hardwood floors with walnut inlays leading into perfectly divided space where there is a wood stove installed that heats a lion's share of the house when used. The second half of the living room is ideal for a little relaxation nook/sitting area. Pass under the archway into an amply-appointed dining room with a continuation of the stunning hardwood floors and wainscoting on the walls. At the back of the first floor, sits a humongous kitchen space with ample counter-top space and cabinets, stainless steel appliances and wonderful view of the backyard from the sink. A full bathroom rounds out the first floor out back. Heading upstairs, notice the intricate woodwork of the banister and landing area. Upstairs as you walk towards the front of the house, there is a large master bedroom with three different closet areas, sterling floors and a great deal of natural sunlight. The middle bedroom is currently being used a walk-in closet but plenty big to be a bedroom space. A hall bath with wall-to-wall tiles, pedestal sink and tub adorns the hallway before entering a free-standing sitting room that is bedroom sized adjoining the back bedroom complete with walk-in closet and back-stairs access to the downstairs. Out back you will find a large refinished, covered wood deck overlooking various different living areas of the over-sized yard. A patio just down the stairs and two car garage finish out the material items but the yard holds so much more! Large, organic, veggie, herb and flower(over 1000 bulbs planted!) gardens, rose garden with fountain in front of the home, dwarf fruit orchard, small vineyard, multiple berry patches and some huge trees! Grounds have been kept as best-effort organic since 2009, except for a small contained rose garden in front. Potable water coatings applied over roof top, re-coated in November 2018, and a 600 gallon rainwater collection system for watering the yard installed. Cedar fence installed. Detached 18x18 garage with new door and opener. Extensive work done to the grounds, numerous large dead trees cleared, a few hundred Canadian thistles manually cleared and root systems dug out without the use of pesticides, dwarf fruit orchard planted and producing fruit(4 apple trees, 2 cherry trees, peach tree, pear tree and plum tree). A full-sized apple tree and blueberry bush. Small vineyard producing enough grapes for a couple gallons of wine a year. Massive shady oak with nearly 60' diameter of shade. Large flower, vegetable and herb gardens, numerous perennial flowering border plantings. Great animal views with a few squirrels, sparrows, jays and cardinals and a block past the train station you can find many deer just wandering the jogging trails of nearby parks. Close to many modes of transportation/commuting options, short walk to the train with a quick, quiet ride to downtown, 2 buses nearby that connect to the El and Subway. Situated in a lovely residential neighborhood with nearby commercial businesses within 4 block walk, restaurants, shopping galore....this is really a unique property with so much to offer!
