Description

Come see this great opportunity to own an exceptional duplex in Queen Village featuring a beautiful 3BR/2BA second and third floor unit as well as a pleasant 2BR/1BA first floor apartment. The location is extraordinary as this property is just a block away from the shops, cafes, and restaurants of Fabric Row, 4 Blocks from Italian Market, 8 Blocks from the Headhouse Square Farmers Market, 1.5 blocks from sought after Nebinger Elementary School, and within a couple of blocks of Mario Lanza Park, Wecaccoe Playground, and Tennis Courts, and a half mile from Washington Square and the Delaware Waterfront. All surrounded by one of the loveliest neighborhoods in the city. Enter the property through a front door into a common foyer, perfect for packages to be dropped. The door on the left leads to the 1st floor apartment, and straight ahead is the door to the primary unit. Up a set of stairs to the second floor, you will land in an open kitchen/dining/living space centered around a light-filled two-story atrium filtering light down through both levels of the home. This is an architectural feature that you will appreciate every day you reside here, along with the natural oak floors that run throughout. Once you take your eyes off the atrium, you will notice the well-proportioned kitchen with a substantial amount of moulded, white cabinetry, and plenty of polished natural stone counter space, including a peninsula separating the kitchen from the dining area. The dining area, centered under the atrium which brings light into the middle of this long, deep rowhouse, flows into a spacious living area, flanked by a wall of closets. Behind the kitchen is a well-placed and well-appointed bathroom, beyond which is one of the 3 bedrooms in this home. Up the open staircase to the second floor you will find a well designed bedroom level. Through a handsome sliding repurposed antique door, you will enter a suite including a walk-in cedar closet with a laundry station; a very spacious and beautifully finished full bathroom with a large, frameless glass shower, and a vanity with an exceptional amount of counter space; as well as a modest sized bedroom the current owner is using as their primary sleeping space. On the other side of the atrium is a spacious, light filled bedroom with a a substantial closet. The current owner is using this as their office, and it is currently configured with two open windows to the atrium and is without a door. Installing frosted glass panels in the open windows to maintain the additional light they bring into the room, and installing a door to the hallway, are simple modifications if privacy is desired for this spacious third bedroom. Up one more flight of stairs brings you to a fabulous roof deck with extraordinary views in every direction. This is a space you will truly use as it offers so much and is only two flights up from the living level. This also property offers a pleasant 2BR/1BA apartment on the first floor. It is currently rented month to month to a longtime tenant who is open to staying if you, the new buyer, desire, or moving out if preferred. The current rent is $1,800 per month + utilities (the primary unit is owner occupied). Entering the first floor unit you will find a small, open living/dining/kitchen area, behind which are two bedrooms separated by a vintage tiled bathroom. The rear bedroom opens to a nice-sized patio. The 1st floor accesses the basement for laundry and some storage directly from within the unit. There is also access to the basement for storage by the upper floor occupants through Bilco doors from the sidewalk. This is a great opportunity for any investment portfolio.
