Description

This 3-½ story townhouse in the Walnut Hill neighborhood of University City, West Philly, sits on a small, tree-lined street just west of 46th St. and north of Spruce. It’s chock-full of handsome c.1911 Post-Victorian details that old-house enthusiasts crave - classic oak flooring with border accents, three decorative fireplaces, leaded glass windows and a charming built-in bench at the foot of the original staircase. The newer kitchen retains its original butler’s pantry cabinet, and a handy set...This 3-½ story townhouse in the Walnut Hill neighborhood of University City, West Philly, sits on a small, tree-lined street just west of 46th St. and north of Spruce. It’s chock-full of handsome c.1911 Post-Victorian details that old-house enthusiasts crave - classic oak flooring with border accents, three decorative fireplaces, leaded glass windows and a charming built-in bench at the foot of the original staircase. The newer kitchen retains its original butler’s pantry cabinet, and a handy set of back stairs. Five rooms on the second & third floors AND a fourth floor under-the-eaves room provide loads of at-home space for work and school. An open front porch, a rear deck and a fenced yard add outdoor space. The owners have made many improvements, including Unico central a/c on the second and third floors - a real plus as summer approaches. The location is close to quirky little West Philly restaurants and shops that the area is noted for, and in the Lea School catchment area. There are several bus routes within a couple of blocks, and the Baltimore Ave. trolley line is only 5 blocks south.
