This wonderful, historic home located just 1/2 block from Rockford Park has not been offered to the public in over twenty years. Designed by Frank Miles Day, a prominent Philadelphia architect in 1902, this is the second home to be built in the Rockford Park Historic disctrict. In 1903 the home was sold to Mr. Daniel Bates as a wedding gift to his wife. From the time you enter the home you will truly feel the old world charm with its turned staircase and flanking fireplaces that look to one another in the living room and dining room through the large open foyer concept. There is also a wonderful family room sunroom located off the living room with beautiful vistas of the quaint street known as Willard St. As you head up to the second floor you will find a fully renovated full bath and three bedrooms, the master having it's own fireplace. The third floor offers two more bedrooms and another fully renovated bathroom. The original windows have the old rippled, wavy glass which is no longer found in many older homes today. They have been glazed and maintained and are in very good condition. Situated on a corner lot, there are two generous sized side yards. Additional features include first floor powder room, central air, architectural shingle slate style roof, updated systems, and security system. This home is perfect for the buyer that is looking for a quaint, single family home while still being able to add their own touches.
