Spacious and abundance of character in this 3459 square feet home. That's only the 1st, 2nd & 3rd floor. 6 generous size bedrooms and 3 full baths will accommodate a multi-generation family or a lot of overnight guests :) Welcome to 2185 Franklin Avenue, a truly must see-for-yourself property! This… Read More exquisite Queen Ann Victorian is impressive with original historical characteristics and beautiful modern updates. The stately front stone triple wide staircase invites you onto a classic wrap-around porch overlooking the colorful flower bed that blooms every spring. Enter into the vestibule where you can hang your coat and leave your shoes. Continue into the bright and enchanting center hall foyer. Notice the wood flooring that will follow you throughout the 1st floor. To the right of the foyer you have the parlor, a room for conversation or quiet down time. It was once used as a first floor bedroom, and can be again if one is desired. To the left of the foyer are the dining room and family room. Both of these rooms are spacious and have versatility to meet your needs. The room that is currently used as the dining room, and the parlor, both have the historical bay windows and the Victorian ceiling medallion. The dining room bay window offers a charming bay window bench seat. In the family room, there is a feature most of us have never seen before, a radiator shelf also known as a glove warmer. It is fascinating. Before reaching the kitchen you come upon the back stairs, also known as the 'midnight snack stairs' since it is a convenient shortcut from the 2nd floor hallway to the kitchen. The kitchen has an open concept featuring a U shape countertop exposing mega food prep area, granite material including the breakfast bar that can seat 4. The kitchen has an abundance of cabinets, an inlayed sink, and the built-in microwave, dishwasher and the 5 burner stove is stainless steel. Another bay window in the kitchen where the window bench seat was renovated as a built in nook to display some of your treasures. The eat in area of the kitchen is super nice for quick meals and easy clean up. Brand new sliding door just installed brings you out onto an expanded deck, overlooking the driveway and rear yard. A 1st floor powder room completes the 1st floor. Onto the 2nd floor. A master bedroom suite with master bathroom, dual sinks, a closet and then yet another window bench seat in the private dressing area/ a sitting room attache9;d to the master suite. 2 more bedrooms with ceiling fans and classic woodwork accenting the space and a modern Hall bathroom. What a convenience! The laundry facilities were brought to the 2nd floor and in a room the size of a small bedroom so it holds a table to fold clothes on and the ironing board. There is also a fire escape from the laundry room. This is a piece of the property's history. One more level to go where the 3 more bedrooms. All the BRs have high ceilings on the 3rd floor too, with some slanted Victorian style ceilings but still leaving you with 3 descent size BRs. One bedroom has a private entrance to the 3rd full bath with the luxurious soaking claw foot tub. All this house, 3459 sq feet of living space sits in the heart of Morton, Ridley Township. SEPTA regional rail is around the corner, public bus stops nearby, Philadelphia International Airport 12 +/- minute drive, shopping and dining only minutes away on Baltimore Pike. There is a community swimming pool nearby that you can join for a summer fee, and many parks are close by too, some are even dog friendly. This is a rare and once in a lifetime opportunity for 1 fortunate buyer! Read Less
