2034 N Hancock Street

Description

One of a kind home - 3 story, 6 bedroom, 3.5 bath, with rear yard, and 2 car garage parking. Welcome to 2034 N Hancock St, one of the most desired blocks in 19122. This home sits on a 16'x109' street to street parcel, has 2,300 square feet of above ground level living space, plus a partially finished full size 800 square foot basement (about 3,100 sf all together). This is "the one" for those looking for a home with plenty of original and unique details, endless space and endearing Philadelphia history (built around 1900). Characteristics we love: Vintage hardwood paneled vestibule entrance with beveled glass interior door paired with a matching transom window visible from the living room, decorative inlaid original refinished hardwoods throughout most rooms, oversized millwork with 9" baseboards throughout and novel floor to sill window casings in several rooms. There is an embellished solid wood mantle for the ventless gas fireplace that includes a very valuable antique wrought iron insert, and radiators are gorgeous ornamental cast-iron works of art. The 1st floor includes a huge warm and welcoming living room, a formal dining room with more than enough open space for furnishings and serious entertaining. The dining room has a Victorian era glass window and door to the side yard, as well as a spacious kitchen with an original solid wood floor to ceiling cupboard, new base cabinets and a vintage pull string vented exhaust fan with new engine. The hall behind the kitchen leads to a private entrance/exit from the side yard. This is where you'll find the 1st floor guest suite, a full 3 piece bath, and a large private bedroom with plenty of closet space. The 2nd floor includes 3 very generous sized bedrooms, a full bath. The 3rd floor includes 2 sun filled oversized bedrooms and a linen closet in the hall. The basement level is divided into 3 sections: A roomy utility space, a large open main room, and the laundry room with 1/2 bath. The yard is no maintenance, completely private, includes a hose bib for urban gardening and access to the 2 car garage with a barn-door style entrance from N Palethorp St. Other notes: all new exterior stucco over brick, gas heat with oil back-up/supplement for saving on energy costs, 2 heaters (1 zone), newer rubber roof with drainage system maintained yearly, new high end insulated windows, and a water filtration system. Extra: This home can be sold with the adjoining separately deeded 32'x38' warehouse at 2031-33 N Palethorp St at an additional cost. An amazing opportunity in the city. Located steps from Norris Square Park, Fishtown, the El Stop at Berks St, walkable to local shopping, and nestled amongst prolific development and new construction on every side. Appliances included in as-is condition. Showings by appointment.
