Beautifully restored and rich with original character, 115 N 53rd St is a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home where historic craftsmanship meets modern comfort. Thoughtful updates throughout preserve the soul of the home while making day-to-day living easy. Inside, 100-year-old heart pine floors have been lovingly restored. The original front door and fireplaces have been retiled and brought back to life as striking focal points. These preserved details speak to the home’s historic charm and enduring quality. The kitchen embraces vintage style with classic checkered floors, paired with modern updates for everyday functionality. All major systems have been fully modernized, including new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, along with all-new windows and siding. The result is comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind while maintaining the home’s architectural integrity. Out back, enjoy a finished patio that extends your living space for hosting, grilling, or quiet mornings. Downstairs, the unfinished basement is clean and highly usable, ideal for storage, a home gym, workshop space, or a future project. Ideally located a short distance from the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and all that West Philadelphia has to offer.
