This 3-story, 1710 s.f. townhouse is in the middle of one of the very best West Philly blocks: tiny one-way, one block long, Regent Square in the Spruce Hill neighborhood of University City.

Looking west from the front porch, you can see 9-acre Clark Park at the corner with play areas for young children just across 43rd Street. There's also a super-long yard out back - the lot size is 16' x 90'. The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms with original wide-pine flooring plus a modern tiled bath. The 3rd floor has two more bedrooms with pine floors and a similar tiled bath. There's a 96% efficient HVAC system. The next owner will likely want to design a new kitchen, perhaps opening up the back of the house more directly to the yard. There are so many possibilities. Check out the neighbors' houses for ideas. Regent Square is in the catchment area for the highly-regarded Penn Alexander public grade school, although location does not guarantee admittance. Trolley lines one block away on both Chester and Woodland Aves. provide excellent public transportation; it's about a 13-minute trip to center city, with stops at the campuses of UPenn & Drexel and the 30th St. transportation hub along the way. Local restaurants and shops are on Baltimore Avenue, just two blocks north. Read Less
