Welcome to The Birkmire House, erected in 1911. Built by Elmer L Cuthbertdon. Brick exterior, wrap around front porch, lovely stone wall, with front , side, and rear yard spaces. Windows all around affording wonderful light and privacy as this house does not face other homes on the East Side. Enter into a quiet foyer which separates the living room from the spacious dining room. There are 9' ceilings and beautiful wood floors. The sunny rear kitchen opens to a private yard. Rear door also acts as a separate entrance with a few steps to the street, convenient for bringing in the groceries. The second and third floors of this home encompass three bedrooms and full bath on the second floor, and two large rooms on the 3 rd floor which were used as bedrooms. All interior doors are original 5 panel. Woodwork is original and in beautiful condition. This home has a lovely staircase facing the foyer, and a back staircase as well. Basement is large, good ceiling height, clean and dry, with laundry and bilco doors to the rear yard. So handy for bringing in bikes, lawn equipment, and general storage. The home has been well maintained by the current owners for 33 years. It has radiator heat and a one year old central air conditioning system. Convenient to Septa bus routes 9,32,27 and R6 train to center city. A short walk down to Main St for dining, shopping, walking and biking trails, yoga, rowing studio, barre and various gyms. Many pocket parks popping up ! Neighbors helping neighbors, garden, plant swaps, get togethers, all in a sense of building community involvement. This is a special house.
