Classic porch-front Victorian twin on one of Cedar Park’s favorite blocks. Lined with mature trees and festooned with string lights between the houses, this friendly, intimate street is just one block long and sees little through traffic. From the generous front porch, enter through the double-door vestibule—featuring wood paneling and original tiled flooring—into a wide staircase hallway. A pair of oak doors leads into the front parlor, where high ceilings and an exposed brick wall with a gas fireplace create a welcoming focal point. Original oak pocket doors connect to the formal dining room, which features a bay window, hardwood floors, and a leaded glass door to the hallway. Just beyond, the spacious eat-in kitchen offers an island counter, an exposed brick wall, and direct access to a deep backyard—perfect for gardening, barbecues, and outdoor gatherings. Upstairs on the second floor, the large primary suite (currently used as a sitting room) includes bay windows, excellent closet space, and a pass-through to a second room ideal as a dressing room or nursery. A standard three-piece ensuite tiled bath completes the suite. At the end of the hall, a third bedroom offers another ensuite bathroom with a stall shower and backyard views. The third floor features two additional bedrooms (one currently used as another sitting room), a full bathroom, a skylight, and a second kitchen—providing flexibility for a guest or in-law suite. A large attic space offers potential to be finished as a playroom or serves as endless storage. The full basement houses the home’s mechanical systems and includes Bilco doors leading to the backyard. Throughout the home, original wood details are beautifully preserved, and all bedrooms offer excellent closet space. Located just steps from Clark Park and the Baltimore Avenue corridor—with international cuisine at beloved local favorites like Doro Bet, Gold Standard, Loco Pez, Vietnam Café, and Dahlak—and offering easy access to UPenn, CHOP, HUP, St. Joe’s, University of the Sciences, and Drexel, this location is a walker’s and biker’s paradise with excellent transit options including the trolley and SEPTA. This is a home that blends timeless charm with everyday convenience in one of West Philadelphia’s most welcoming communities—come see it today!
