We have a lovely, garden-style, bi-level apartment on Elfreths Alley with a private entrance & a shared rear courtyard. This is a surprisingly spacious, bright, and cheerful home with an eat-in kitchen, two large bedrooms, and 1.5 baths. There are many original architectural details throughout, which include: three beautiful marble mantles, heart pine floors, wood moldings, and multiple unique built-ins reflecting the historical aspects of the home. There are also brand-new: windows, mechanical systems, appliances, and many other new upgrades and amenities throughout the apartment, including a luxurious bathroom. The washer and dryer, which is exclusive to the lower unit is located in the basement which is unfinished. This property is pet-friendly on a case-by-case basis. To note, 125 Elfreths Alley is the newest property on the block, which dates the building to 1836 and is the only duplex property (two units) on the block. Both units are beautiful and spacious and have separate entrances, mailboxes, and utilities. Each unit also has its own washer and dryer. The rear yard, which is naturally more accessible to the lower unit, is a shared, sunny space with plenty of room for comfortable leisure to BBQ, lounge about, read, and modestly entertain. There is also an enclosed storage area for trash and recycling for both apartments. Tenants from the upper and lower units can enjoy the use of this shared outdoor space while being mindful of loud music and the privacy of their upper or lower unit neighbors. Cars are permitted on Elfreths Alley for loading and unloading, but long-term parking on the alley is not permitted. There are however numerous parking options nearby. There is weekly trash and recycling pickup at the curb. In case you didn't know, Elfreths Alley is one of the oldest residential streets in the nation, showcasing a beautiful collection of 32 homes built between 1703 and 1836. The Alley was added to the National Historic Register in 1956 and is considered a prime example of the early colonial era in Philadelphia. The alley maintains a high level of interest from history buffs and tourists alike, hoping to get a glimpse of the well-kept homes, which are a fantastic display of 18th-century Federal and Georgian architecture. There is also an active block association that organizes a few annual fundraising events that help maintain the beauty of the alley. The Alley Association also manages the Elfreths Alley Museum dedicated to sharing the history of the Alley. Please contact Jill Fratto for more information or to schedule an appointment. Tenants pay all utilities and are responsible for snow removal.
