Beautiful Victorian Gem in University City!
This stunning 3,142 sq. ft. Victorian offers 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, blending timeless character with modern comfort. Original details include a grand vestibule, wraparound porch, pocket doors, hardwood floors, carved wood mantels, and decorative fireplaces, complemented by central air and heat throughout.
The beautifully renovated kitchen features quartz countertops and new stainless steel appliances, flowing into a light-filled glass sunroom—the perfect space for morning coffee, dining, or year-round relaxation. Step outside to a newly built, oversized rear deck overlooking a spacious backyard, creating an exceptional setting for entertaining and outdoor living.
The upper floors offer six generously sized bedrooms and three full baths. The fourth-floor retreat is truly one of a kind, featuring soaring beam ceilings, exposed brick, a working sauna, and access to two private rooftop decks—one overlooking Clark Park and the other offering sweeping Center City skyline views.
Perfectly located in the heart of University City, just steps from Clark Park, the University of Pennsylvania, public transportation, restaurants, cafés, and shopping.
From the sunroom to the expansive rear deck and spectacular rooftop terraces, this exceptional Victorian offers some of the finest indoor-outdoor living in West Philadelphia.
