One-of-a-kind beautiful expanded Pennsylvania stone farmhouse set on a double lot in the highly desirable Wissahickon/Manayunk neighborhood. Originally built in 1835, this property was once owned by Ezekiel Shur, a farmer and veteran of the War of 1812. This porch front house presents a spacious vestibule entry featuring a stately decorative arch, handsome newel post, banister, and balustrades. The large formal living room features original architectural details such as handsome wide plank wood floors, crown moldings, and tall windows that present a sense of grandeur and afford abundant natural light. Handsome pocket doors lead into a large formal dining room (chandelier is excluded from the sale) which accesses the mudroom complete with a convenient powder room and the egress to the side garden. Beyond the dining room, is the spacious kitchen featuring generous wood cabinets, stone countertops, top-quality stainless steel appliances, and a door leading out to a beautiful flat rear garden that wraps around to the side garden. The kitchen also provides access to the large finished basement which is a great flexible space that could be used as a recreation room, or an in-home gym, and there’s still a large unfinished work-shop/crafts area. The second floor has a lovely rear bedroom, currently used as an office, a sparkling hall bathroom, a spacious middle bedroom, and a large front bedroom, currently used as a family television room. The top floor features the primary en-suite bedroom with a beautiful bathroom adorned with a luxe walk-in shower. Covered parking is rented across the street for $50.00/month which can be transferred to the new owners.
