Location, Location, Location! Welcome to one of the BEST BLOCKS IN THE HEART OF PENNSPORT! 248 Greenwich is a delightful gem of a home, radiating warmth and character at every turn, and is nestled on a peaceful, tree-lined street that is flanked by a mix of preserved historic homes and… Read More modern million-dollar properties. It is also set across the street from Donnelly Park, one of the cutest neighborhood pocket parks you've ever seen. Parking can be easier here because although its a quiet one-way street that isn't a cut through, it still offers permit parking on BOTH sides for added convenience. This 3 bedroom home (or 2.5 bedroom with loft) is one of a kind: first off, it's a DETACHED SINGLE FAMILY HOME - it is not a rowhome; its fully detached on all sides and features oodles of windows and an extra wide breezeway that leads to a charming private backyard (lot is 80' deep at its peak), perfect for those who love natural light, gardening and outdoor entertaining and fun. If you crave old world charm you will truly appreciate this beauty. The front part of the structure was believed to have been built well before 1900, which according to public records, is when the rest of the home was added on. It features a beautiful 2 story brick fae7;ade with original restored shutters and window boxes which give this home extra curb appeal. As you enter you're introduced to the light filled Living Room area where you will find solid oak hardwood floors and a functional GAS BURNING FIREPLACE with exposed brick and a gorgeous original mantle. Surrounding the fireplace is an entire wall of custom woodwork and built-in book shelving and cabinets. Past the Living Room, you'll find a very bright and spacious Dining Room complete with hardwood flooring and more windows. The EAT IN Kitchen beyond boasts a good amount of cabinets and counter space (and more east facing windows!) Last is the tiled full Bathroom with newly reglazed tub/shower combo and beyond that a large Laundry Room with space for extra storage. Upstairs on the 2nd floor you'll discover original french door to the spacious main Bedroom with hardwood floors, double closet, built- ins and a beautiful fireplace with exposed brick wall. The sun-drenched middle Bedroom also features hardwood flooring, 3 windows and a double closet. Beyond the 2nd floor you'll find steps leading to the 3rd floor dormer loft: this space could be used as a small bedroom, nursery or office and boasts cathedral ceiling, east and west facing windows and original hardwood floors. Back downstairs the unfinished basement houses the mechanicals and has decent height ceilings and great for storage. One can't say enough about this PERFECT LOCATION: there are 3 wonderful parks all within less than 4 blocks away, including Dickinson Square Park, with its playground, walking path, basketball courts, seasonal activities like Parks on Tap, and more. Despite the area's growing popularity, Pennsport still has a strong sense of community. The neighbors are friendly, there's a lot of pride in the area, and you often see people out on the streets or sitting on their stoops chatting. It feels like a place where everyone knows each other, and newcomers are welcomed with open arms. Pennsport has its share of fantastic cafes and restaurants like Hermans Coffee, Cake and Joe, Rebel & Wolf, O'Jungs, and Moonshine; plus it's a central location that's close to other great neighborhoods like Queen Village and Passyunk Square. This home is a 1/2 block from the bus on Moyamensing, so its so easy to get to Center City, Old City or Society Hill. From this location you can also take a walk to the waterfront or to stores like Giant, Target and Home Depot: and since its only blocks away from Rt 95, it takes minutes to get to the STADIUMS & AIRPORT, not to mention the short drive to the JERSEY SHORE. This home & its incredible location offer so much to love -don't miss your chance to see it in person! Read Less
