709 S MARVINE ST

Philadelphia, PA 19147

This 4 bedroom/1 bath home is located on one of the prettiest and quietest blocks in the Hawthorne neighborhood. 709 S Marvine with its E, W & partial S exposures glows in warm light. Maybe it’s the original oak floors pretty much throughout the home or the oak stair & bannister bordering the wide hallway’s above. Possibly the original interior single panel oak doors throughout that lead to rooms with great proportions, plaster walls and ceilings that seem to emphasize this soft glow. Circa 1940’s second floor classic spacious full hall bath and its' vintage black and white basketweave tiled floor, stall shower as well as the palest of powder blue cast iron corner bathtubs. Completing the second floor is a primary suite with a walk in closet and dressing room. The third floor has three additional generous bedrooms. Full unfinished basement with mechanicals, washer & dryer, laundry tub and the home's original (circa 1910) cooking fireplace with its period cast iron doors flanked by two wooden pantry cupboards. Larger cemented South and East facing rear yard with plenty of room for barbecue and container gardening. Integrity, great bones and amazing upside.
