This 3-story Victorian twin, built in 1900, has been completely updated for modern living with a thoughtful appreciation for the craftsmanship of yesteryear. As you walk up the stairs to the house, consider the fully restored porch. A stained glass vestibule leads to a gorgeous living room with 10-foot ceilings, pocket doors and yes, they open and close which slide open to a large dining room with curved crown molding. The kitchen boasts of granite counters, under-cabinet lighting and a turn-of-the-century butlers pantry currently used as a bar. In the corner of the kitchen is a back staircase leading upstairs.

A full bathroom that was renovated in 2018 has marble subway walls and penny tile floors.The third floor feels like a bright nest overlooking the greenery of University City. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and a painstakingly restored cedar-lined built-in armoire with intricate wood detail, original to when the house was built.
