Property Description
Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street in the heart of the desirable Girard Estates neighborhood, this spacious 5-bedroom, 1 full bath, and 2 half bath twin home is full of potential, offering a blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Located just one block from the park and the public library, this property provides both comfort and a strong sense of community.
The first floor invites you in with a shaded front porch, leading into a bright, spacious living area. The formal dining room, adorned with original pocket doors, allows for a private, intimate dining space—perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. At the rear of the home, you'll find an updated eat-in kitchen, renovated six years ago, with plenty of space for cooking and casual dining, along with a convenient powder room. Step out to the back porch and enjoy a peaceful yard with street access—perfect for outdoor gatherings or relaxation.
Upstairs, the second floor features three generously sized bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, and a full bathroom. The third floor offers even more living space with two additional bedrooms and a half bathroom, ideal for guest rooms, a home office, or hobby spaces.
While the home retains much of its original character—from the elegant staircase to the detailed wood trim and hardwood floors—it does need renovations to restore its full potential. Recent updates include a newer boiler (2015); a replaced sewer line within the last twenty years and all windows were replaced approximately eight years ago according to the Girard Estate Historic Society guidelines providing a strong foundation for future improvements. Please note the window on the staircase was not replaced.
With its prime location, historic features, and opportunities for personalized renovations, this Girard Estates gem is ready to be transformed into your dream home.
