Description

Enjoy this renovated, historic townhome on a charming block. I love living in this townhome and in this neighborhood and I think you will, too! The house is cozy and comfortable (in the winter I really like the heated tile floors and deep bath tub). It’s an easy walk to Penn, CHOP, Rittenhouse Square, and the Schulykill River Trail. Groceries and coffee just a few blocks away.

House Sitting

I may need help while I am away

I may need help with mail and deliveries

I’ve tried to cancel all the mail to the house, but inevitably stuff continues to show up. It would be great if you could throw anything relevant in a box for me (I will leave the box).

I may need help with plants or garden

There are a few interior house plants. If you want them to stay alive, they’ll need some water. If you don’t feel like watering, I will not be heartbroken if they die.

Comments: If it snows, the front of the house will need to be shoveled (this happens maybe 2-3 times per winter). There is a shovel and salt in the basement.
