4939 Walnut Street

Available now: a third-floor one bedroom, one bathroom apartment at 4939 Walnut Street in Walnut Hill, on the eastern edge of West Philadelphia. The building dates to 1925 and it shows in the good ways tall windows, deep sills, original door casings and plaster detail, and cast-iron radiators that put out real heat in January. Floors are wide-plank hardwood-style throughout the living space. The kitchen is updated with shaker cabinets, a gas range, and a full-size refrigerator, and it opens to the living room through a pass-through framed in exposed brick. The bathroom is finished in classic white tile with a new vanity and mirror. Rear windows look out over the block's brickwork, so the bedroom stays quiet at night. The apartment sits on the third floor, at the back of the building. Walnut Hill puts you minutes from University City, with the Market-Frankford Line at 52nd Street and the Baltimore Avenue trolley lines both close by. Clark Park, the Baltimore Ave restaurant corridor, and the 52nd Street shopping district are all nearby. Rent $999/month. Security deposit $999. Application fee $50 per adult. Heat included. Resident pays electric. Cats and dogs welcome. To schedule a showing, reply to this listing and we'll send you the next available times.
