This gorgeous Victorian twin c.1900 is loaded with the original details that make West Philly, West Philly: leaded glass, decorative fireplaces, natural woodwork, hardwood & pine flooring, pocket doors, the original staircase, Lincrusta-style wall coverings, and even a tower! There’s a classic kitchen which includes the original butler's pantry and has plenty of room for friends to gather around the cook. The living room and dining room are large and there’s a private back yard and a convenient 1st floor half bath, so the house works well for entertaining. Upstairs are 6 large rooms and 2 baths. The seller has made many upgrades, including the removal of all old electrical wiring. Located in University City’s popular Cedar Park neighborhood, this house is just north of Baltimore Avenue, the community’s “main street” with eclectic dining & shopping. Baltimore Ave.’s #34 trolley will whisk you to center city in just 15 minutes, stopping at UPenn & Drexel U along the way. This pretty, tree-lined block is in the catchment area for the K-8 HC Lea public school, which receives support from UPenn.
