5135 Walton Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19143

Utterly adorable, this sunny West Philly porchfront row will capture your heart at every turn. Modestly renovated as a rental property in 2005, it’s far from fancy–but it’s loaded with irreplaceable details including all original pine flooring and woodwork. The vestibule with original doors, tile and wainscoting opens into the living room with a large leaded glass front window framed by a plaster arch with decorative corbels, a decorative brick fireplace and wood floors that run throughout the home. The large separate dining room provides a first-floor closet and leads to the industrial-inspired ceramic tiled kitchen with original butler’s pantry. There’s a main-floor laundry room that opens to a covered deck and large back yard. Up the original turned staircase are three bedrooms, a cute hall bath and a small hallway closet. The front bedroom with bay window, two closets and an architectural niche is behind a set of original glass-paned French doors. The rear bedroom has a window seat flanked by original mirrored armoires and connects to the middle bedroom, which is a decent size–not a mere afterthought. The bathroom has a skylight and vintage cast iron corner tub with ceramic tile surround and a bonus storage closet. The sweet Cedar Park block with houses set behind front yards puts the best of Baltimore Ave at your fingertips, and Cedar, Clark and Malcolm X parks are all super close. The sellers just installed a new roof, which comes with a transferable warranty.
