This historic, yet fully renovated 4 bedroom home offers over 2300 sq ft of living space, original hardwood floors, spacious bedrooms and living space. Though the interior features are sure to impress, its the backyard that may steal the show! This house sits on a 99 foot deep lot with a 40+ deep back yard that was recently renovated with a new flagstone patio and grass. As you enter this home through the vestibule, you are immediately greeted with original pine hardwood floors, high ceilings and an open floor plan. The sun filled living room is warmed in the cooler months by a gas fireplace and extends into the spacious dining area. Continue through to the kitchen, with oak cabinetry, new stainless steel appliances, tile flooring, kitchen island and terrific storage. The kitchen leads out to the spacious backyard with a flagstone patio, great for grilling and entertaining, as well as a large grassy area with raised side beds great for gardening, play equipment and warm western sun. The side alley provides direct access to the yard. The basement has high ceilings and is primed for additional living space and/or storage. The second and third floors host 4 large bedrooms with abundant closet space and newly installed designer shades. Both of the full bathrooms are outfitted with jacuzzi tubs, stall showers, double sink vanities and separate commode closet. The city is in your backyard at 858 N. Taney Street, with the Schuylkill River Trail, Fairmount Park, the tasty restaurants and coffee shops of Fairmount Ave, the Philadelphia Zoo, Public Library, and countless museums within walking distance!
