Spacious Victorian close to UPenn, CHOP,University of Sciences
My family and I own this 3 bedroom home and we would like to share or exchange it with you.
The first floor is fully-furnished (living room, dining room, kitchen, half bath) plus washer and dryer in the basement. on 2nd floor there is a full bath and 3 bedrooms. The house also has a front porch and a backyard.
SHARE- the largest bedroom (with a double bed and a daybed).
Technically you will be sharing the house with one of the owners and a very considerate dog, however there may be periods when you will be the sole occupant of the house. This is a great option for graduate students, international students and visiting academics.
EXCHANGE option - full house
