Overview

Just north of Springfield Ave. and west of the Cedar Park neighborhood of University City, this 1470 s.f. 2-story twin home c.1910 in Kingsessing has retained the original details which make West Philly, West Philly: period mantles and woodwork, a handsome staircase with wooden banisters & spindles, and beautifully refinished oak & pine flooring. Over the past five years its loving owners have updated the first floor layout, totally rewired the house, rehabbed the bath and replaced the kitchen so that all is move-in ready for the next owners. Nearby: the Kingsessing Library & Rec Center, the Chester Ave. trolley line which can whisk you to center city in about 15 minutes (passing UPenn & Drexel U on the way), and lots of eclectic restaurants and shops along Baltimore, Chester & Woodland Aves.
