Set on a tree-lined street in the heart of Somerton in Philadelphia, this beautifully maintained American Foursquare offers timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and a flexible layout ideal for modern living. With Craftsman influences throughout, you’ll appreciate the home’s architectural character the moment you step onto the full-width covered front porch—perfect for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. <br><br> Inside, the welcoming living room showcases hardwood floors with a walnut inlay, a wood-burning fireplace with a classic brick surround, and custom built-in bookcases that frame the hearth.
