Elegant Brick Townhouse with handsome original woodwork and hardwood floors and lots of space for entertaining, including a large formal dining room, three porches and a spacious and newly designed and beautifully landscaped brick and stone backyard. In addition to three bedrooms on the 2nd floor, there is a fourth bedroom on the ground floor. The gorgeous plantings in the front yard give the house great curb appeal and beckon you to come sit on the cozy and inviting front porch. Once inside, you will be surrounded by the richness of the wood craftsmanship of an earlier era, including the original hardwood floors throughout the house. The dining room has the original chandelier and the 2nd floor bathroom has the original claw foot tub. Both the full basement and the attic provide an incredible abundance of storage space. Although there is ample street parking in the front of the house, the property also has its own private gated parking spot in the rear of the house. This is the type of house that does not come on to the market very frequently. In addition, the house is located in the heart of Eckington, one of the most popular and fastest growing neighborhoods in the city. It is just a few blocks from the New York Avenue Metro Station, one block from an entrance to the Metropolitan Branch Bike Trail, and one block from the brand new Alethia Tanner Park. Plus, it has easy access to Route 50, Route 395, and all downtown locations. Grab it quickly. It is a rare jewel of a house.
