6820 Clover Ln, Upper Darby, PA 19082

Old house lovers, here’s all the charm you could ever want, situated on a lovely Walnut Park block lined with townhomes with nicely landscaped front yards and a bucolic cemetery at the rear. This 18-foot-wide rowhome with a carefully curated color palette has been lovingly updated over the years where it matters most, while picture-perfect original details like hardwood floors; staircase millwork, banister and newel post; and doors with beautiful brass knobs and backplates are left to shine. Through the lovely arched front doorway, the main floor features original parquet floors, two sets of double windows with extra-deep sills and wood blinds, and an oversize plaster archway that connects the nicely sized living room to the dining room, with an extra-long black walnut breakfast bar to the kitchen. Here you’ll find a super-stylish workhorse of a space: great storage in fresh white lower cabinets and an entire wall of black walnut floating shelves (plus super-smart pantry racks along the basement stairs), a stainless steel Kenmore slide-in range and white Big Chill vintage-style fridge, and an undermount sink in cement-look countertops (shhh, we won’t tell they’re laminate if you don’t). Past a coat closet and up the stairs, the second floor has beautiful narrow-strip oak floors throughout the three sunny bedrooms, a hall linen closet and an awesome vintage-updated bath. The front bedroom is large enough for a king-sized bed and has two closets; one ample rear bedroom has peaceful views overlooking the cemetery and the third bedroom could fit a twin bed but would make an even better home office or reading den. The skylit hall bath’s new patterned cement tile floor, black vanity and rain showerhead nicely complement the to-die-for vintage details: yellow and black tile walls and tub surround complete with built-in toothbrush holder and soap dish, cast iron tub, medicine cabinet and light fixture. The basement isn’t finished, but with painted cement walls and floors and a sweet built-in bar nook it could totally be used an extra hang space on your way to the attached garage. The Upper Darby location offers a rare trifecta: easy access to the city, suburban conveniences, and nature. Just outside city limits, it’s super convenient to SEPTA’s 69th St terminal, suburban shopping centers you’d expect in Delco, and Cobbs Creek green spaces.
