Property Description
If your dream house is a turn-of-the-last-century home, take a look at this Queen Anne Victorian twin, straight out of "This Old House," in the Cedar Park neighborhood of University City, West Philadelphia. You'll find 3600 square feet of original details - stained glass, turrets & bays, original woodwork (some natural, and some in the old-fashioned "wood grained" style), decorative fireplaces, pocket doors, hardwood floors, and even a huge butler's pantry cabinet - on a great 48th St. block. There's a landscaped front garden and a comfortable front porch, where you can sit and watch the neighborhood goings-on. Inside, there's a large living room (currently closed off as a BR - with an easily removable sheetrock wall), handsome stair hall, formal dining room, and a spacious kitchen with room for some serious cooking. There's a convenient half bath, a rear greenhouse/sun porch, and a serene fenced yard. Upstairs, in Victorian times, the 2nd floor front room would have been called a "sitting room;" today it's a family room, with a round window turret and a decorative fireplace. There are also 2 bedrooms and a contemporary bath on this floor. The 3rd floor is 3 rooms and a contemporary bath, currently including a kitchen, though the house is not zoned duplex and the entrance is not private. It's an "in-law" unit, great for a relative or an au pair. The tenants currently living in the property must vacate by July 31st, and may be leaving sooner, likely by the end of June. The tree-lined 48th St. location is a pretty setting, with lovely houses, lush front gardens, and friendly neighbors. And everybody is enthusiastic about Baltimore Avenue, the community's "Main Street," with its ever-developing eclectic collection of restaurants, cafes, little shops, and the neighborhood's closest public green space, Cedar Park.
