Overview

On one of Philly's most beautiful blocks, lined with mature trees and gorgeous 3-story 19th century porch front twin homes sits 508 S 48th. Just off the corner of Larchwood Avenue in the desirable Cedar Park neighborhood (and Lea School Catchment!), this 4-5 bedroom plus huge east-facing family room and office, 1.5 bath home is filled with so much significant original character throughout. Lovely covered porch, front yard, large rear yard, and an enclosed veranda just off the kitchen to enjoy your morning coffee, dining al fresco, or just reading a book. The incredible original character includes high ceilings, gorgeous interior grotesque corbels, intricate moldings, refinished oak and pine floors, detailed woodwork, doors, chair rail, wood trim, leaded glass, transoms, mantles, and other detail throughout. Besides the character, superb outdoor, and stellar location, this home has a renovated 2nd floor full bath, several mini-splits (that cool the 1st and 2nd floors), is clean and neat and awaiting your kitchen updates and perhaps adding another full bath. Radiator heat. Balanced all-day light throughout. Home also includes superb light from 3 exposures (east, west, and south). Beautiful tiled vestibule, large coat closet, separate dining room, back stairs to 2nd floor, This twin home with the awesome bones also offers a STELLAR location—with a 93 WalkScore and a 99 BikeScore. It is a short walk to Clark Park and its fabulous Farmers' market, Cedar Park, University City Swim Club, Mariposa Food Co-op, Bookers, Cleo Bagels, Carbon Copy, Gold Standard, Vietnam Cafe, Vientiane, Loco Pez, Doro Bet, Gojjo, ReAnimator Coffee, Knock Box Café, and all of Baltimore Avenue's Restaurant Row, as well as other restaurants, shops & cafes. Close to HUP, CHOP, Penn, Drexel, Penn Vet, and 13 minutes to Center City by car or bike and plenty of convenient SEPTA LEA SCHOOL CATCHMENT. Notes—48th Street is a wide avenue and the light is spectacular. The block was just improved with a protected bike lane, speed humps, new striping, and other quality of life/traffic improvements (while maintaining the plentiful parking along both sides).
