Property Description
Do not miss this chance to live in the hip and bustling Cedar Park area of West Philadelphia. This unique home is one of the finest remaining pre-1895 Victorian twin townhome mansions in the area! This home offers six beds and two full baths across 2,750 finished sq ft. The home has a classic front porch, with plenty of shaded space for outdoor relaxation, and moving inside through the original ornate main entry foyer, the main floor of the home is a wonderful bright space. Craftsman wainscoting is in the main hallway, and the whole home is covered in real hardwood and fine original woodwork. There are ornate solid wood pocket doors located on the first floor separating the main dining room, living room and main foyer, as well as in the master bedroom. The living room features a charming tiled fireplace, and the dining room has large, rounded windows covered in craftsman molding and a built-in china cabinet. The rear kitchen has granite countertops (including a central island with sink), stainless steel appliances (including gas range), and plenty of space for a lovely breakfast area. This home features an original ornate complete grand staircase running from the first through the 3rd floor which leads up to the upper two levels and combined six bedrooms of the home. Each floor has three bedrooms and a full bath, and each bedroom gets plenty of good natural light and closet space. The third floor features a center hall skylight and there is also a full attic with roof access on the 4th floor. Craftsman touches in various rooms, like bay windows with molding, contribute to the overall charm of this classic, full-of-potential home. One amazing touch is the tower balcony accessible from the front third floor bedroom, which is a unique architectural feature with a lovely payoff: enjoy shaded territorial views from the privacy of your home. Rounding out this amazing home is the basement which houses a laundry room, hot water heater (just installed in 2019) and furnace/heater (installed in 2015). Living right on Baltimore Ave means that you will be across the street from some of the areas best food and shopping, including the Mariposa Food Co-op, The Gold Standard Cafe, and Dock Street Brewery West. Trolley lines take you to center city and greater Philadelphia with ease, and the University of Pennsylvania is blocks away!
