A lovely six-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home originally built in 1890 with Mercer tiles on the front porch recently hit the market in Jenkintown, writes Paul Jablow for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The owners, Sophia Koropeckyj and her husband, Bohdan Pazuniak, wanted a home that had not been ruined by remodeling when they were looking to buy a house 27 years ago. Now that they are semi-retired and their kids are out of the house, they have decided to downsize.

Some of their favorite features include the front porch tiles, the wood-floored basement, and the tree-lined streets. The large kitchen they added to the home is also among their highlights.

The main level features a living room, an elegant dining room, and a library with built-in bookshelves, among other amenities. The second floor is home to four bedrooms, a dressing room, and a sunroom, while the third floor has two more bedrooms and a full bath.

There is also a large deck, a sizable yard, and a paved driveway with a two-car garage.

As a bonus, the home is near a SEPTA Regional Rail station, which provides easy access to Center City and Philadelphia International Airport. The home is available for sale for $749,900.
