3636 Miller St, Philadelphia - Kensington Area, PA 19134 - For Sale

This lovingly maintained home on a great Port Richmond block has super-solid bones and nice outdoor space complete with Japanese maple out front. The house is move-in-ready with the opportunity to personalize as you go, although you may want to keep some of the unique accents like the Lincrusta wallpaper in the living room along with the chair rail and crown molding. Over the years the current owner has taken care of the less-glamourous updates, like replacing the sewer line to the street and parging the basement walls, while leaving the fun stuff to the next owner?like uncovering the original hardwood floors upstairs. The eat-in kitchen was updated in 2004 and features honey-colored wood cabinets, recessed lighting, ceramic tile floors, a deep corner porcelain sink with gooseneck faucet and--yes!--a wine fridge. The upstairs bedrooms are similar in size; the rear bedroom has a surprisingly deep closet and the front has a closet with handy built-in shelving and another with vintage-cool accordion doors with etched glass panels. They share a nicely appointed hall bath with skylight and fun retro sea-green hex tile floors and seashell sink. The well-lit basement with good ceiling height has plenty of room for storage, laundry and, most importantly, zero creepiness factor. Commuters will appreciate the multiple bus lines nearby as well as easy access to I95. Castor and Aramingo aves are both nearby, offering all the big-box retail you'll need for any home improvement projects or family gatherings, plus plenty of the requisite mom-and-pop shops that help make up the fabric of every Philly neighborhood.
