A Philadelphia house built in 1728 on Elfreth’s Aly, America’s oldest residential street, with three bedrooms and one bathroom, has hit the market for $500,000, writes Mary K. Jacob for the New York Post.

The home last sold three decades ago for $119,000.

Constructed when the nation was still a colony, this residence is considered to be one of Philadelphia’s oldest homes.

The home is a 2.5-story structure that still has many of the original details preserved throughout. Highlights include a landscaped garden space, historic windows, original plank wood floors, and the original Dutch entry door.

The living room on the first floor flows into the den with its exposed beams. On the second level is an expansive bedroom with a brick fireplace. Meanwhile, the bathroom boasts a soaking tub and a large window.

The other bedroom features a cathedral-style ceiling, skylights, and an original wooden shellac wall and the space could easily be made into an office.

The largest bedroom is on the third floor. It also comes with cathedral-style ceilings, wood flooring, and two walk-in closets. Attic and storage space can be found above this room.
