Property Description
Phenomenal opportunity to own a stunning and spacious four bedroom historic home in the booming Cedar Park/Squirrel Hill neighborhood before prices skyrocket out of reach. This exceptional home exudes character and boasts countless original details, including original hardwood flooring throughout, high ceilings, original bay windows with leaded glass detailing, elegant original wainscoting, original artisan fireplace mantel, and original millwork (chair railings, door and window trim). Enjoy an absolute prime West Philadelphia location along a sunny tree-lined avenue, within walking distance to the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Saint Joseph’s University, and all the top-rated hospitals in Philadelphia, including HUP, CHOP, the VA Hospital and Presbyterian Medical Center.

Private developers are building condominiums at 47th & Kingsessing Avenue and 76 apartments and condominiums at 48th & Chester Avenue. New construction of a $700,000 (+/-) home is currently going up directly behind this home on Regent Street and The Young Child Learning Center is only one block away at 47th & Kingsessing Avenue. Stroll the tree-lined streets of this vibrant historic neighborhood and enjoy Clark Park with its renowned Farmer’s Market and myriad of multi-cultural activities, Kingsessing Park, local artisan restaurants, art galleries, markets and shops. Bike to the University District, center city, 30th Street Station, and the local bus, subway, elevated and train lines. Enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle in the best and friendliest neighborhood in Philadelphia.
