About This Home
As of October 2016Welcome to 1120 S 51st Street in University City; a stunningly beautiful, 5 bedroom home with many Victorian details preserved and intact! This porch front home has all of the original wood detailing in the entryway, beam work, and staircases. In the main living room you'll find a gorgeous brick fireplace with ornate wood mantel, sconces, and half timbering. The large eat in kitchen has titled floors, tons of storage and space for a kitchen table. Off the kitchen is a door which leads to a fenced in backyard perfect for BBQs, gardening and entertaining. On the second floor you'll find three spacious bedrooms with original built ins for storage and large window bump outs to let plenty of light in. There's a full bath on each upper floor with original fixtures and tiling. You can also access the kitchen through a rear staircase on the second floor. On the top floor, you'll find another original fixture- a huge skylight, allowing plenty of light to flow through the entire house. Third floor has two additional bedrooms, a full bath and a laundry room with a bonus room (6th bedroom possibility!) Conveniently located right off of Chester Ave where the night owl 13 trolley runs all night and blocks from Baltimore Ave where you'll find Mariposa Co-op and Dock Street! 1120 S 51st Street should not be missed if you are looking for a home filled with original character without the typical U City price tag!
