Property Description
Craftsmanship and history blend with modern updates in this one-of-a-kind architect-renovated 1865 cliff-house (featured in Inquirer Magazine "Interiors" 2002). This sophisticated and spacious 20' wide home offers gracious living on 4 levels, 2 Decks with SPECTACULAR SUNSET VIEWS, central air, a fenced backyard, and sits on a quiet one-way street with ample permit parking. The first floor features a large, bright Living Room with original heart pine floors and a Deck overlooking Manayunk across to Bala, and another room which could be a Den, Office or Studio space. Down a level is the cooks' Kitchen with a suite of new stainless appliances, cherry counters, hand-made cabinets, terra cotta tile floor, and clever light-diffusing sconces made from metal colanders. The kitchen is open to the Great Room/Dining/Family Room with brick floor, fireplace (not in use), and built-in bookcases and cabinets. There is a Half Bath with "Cape May Diamonds" stone/pebble floor. This level offers another Deck with the same great views, steps to the yard, and a large enclosed storage space under the deck. Up on the second floor are two Bedrooms, a hall Full Bath, Laundry Room, and large built-in cedar closet. The third floor is a large loft Bedroom with skylight, dormer, and painted wood floor. Freshly painted through-out, new windows (except for lower kitchen level), new 200 amp electric service, roof recoated, and newer hot water heater are some of the recent improvements. And then there is the history: the house once belonged to James A. Jefferys, a famous artist who lived his entire life here from 1889 to 1969 and painted streetscapes of Manayunk. All this and only a short walk to shops and restaurants on Main Street, close to transportation, Fairmount Park, easy access to Rte. 76, City Avenue, Kelly Drive and Center City, Philadelphia University and Drexel Medical School. One Year 2-10 Home Warranty included for peace of mind!
