This apartment, available 4/1/25, is a BI-LEVEL, 4-BEDROOM, apartment situated on the corner of Eleventh and Clay Sts., between Green and Mt. Vernon Sts. It is the original upper 2 floors of a rather large house Pre-Civil War, circa 1865, 3-story brick building, still containing the original woodwork and moldings.
The windows are the new, energy-efficient, double-paned glass. The building is heated by comfortable and efficient gas, hot water radiators, giving a wonderfully even supply of heat, (rather that the all-or-nothing of modern, forced hot air).
The apartment is entered through a well-lit, private entry. There are old and original, natural, unpainted hardwood floors.
There are 4 bedrooms - 2 of them are very large and 2 small-sized.
The kitchen/dining room is usually the center of the home. This apartment has a sizeable kitchen areas with ample cabinets. The bathroom has white fixtures and a claw-foot-bathtub/shower combo.
The finished, very usable attic space, accessible through a permanent stairway, works well as a den or office. The roof skylight allows control of airflow on hot summer days and provides a wonderful view of stars and fireworks - when set off over the Philadelphia Art Museum.
The clothes washer and dryer (your exclusive use) is located in a room that also provides for storage.
