Description
This 1925 West Philadelphia townhouse is a masterclass in blending historic soul with a crisp, modern renovation. If you’ve been searching for that elusive mix of classic character and move-in-ready convenience, this four-bedroom, 2.5-bath home delivers in a big way.
The main level feels bright and airy, with an open layout that flows naturally from the living area into the dining space. Hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by recessed lighting and large windows that invite plenty of natural light. The kitchen is a standout, featuring sleek countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula island that’s perfect for a quick breakfast or hosting friends while you cook.
Upstairs, the layout is incredibly functional with four spacious bedrooms. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, complete with its own private full bath. Need extra space? The finished basement is a major bonus, offering the flexibility for a dedicated home office, a fitness setup, or organized storage.
The outdoor space is just as inviting. The rear patio, topped with a beautiful pergola, creates a private nook for evening drinks or weekend dining. Plus, the home is equipped with high-efficiency appliances and energy-conscious lighting, keeping things practical and cost-effective.
The location puts the best of West Philly right at your fingertips. You’re just moments from the Baltimore Avenue trolley and the 49th Street Regional Rail station, making a commute to Center City a breeze. Local favorites like the Mariposa Food Co-op are nearby for grocery runs, and the expansive trails and green spaces of Cobbs Creek Park are just around the corner.
Classic style, modern updates, and a prime location—this one checks every box. Schedule your showing today!
