4615 Hazel Ave Philadelphia, PA 19143

Located in a Philadelphia Local Register Historic District, this beautifully preserved and upgraded University City post-Victorian twin c.1910 is drop-dead gorgeous! All of the most beloved West Philly features are here: gleaming original flooring, leaded glass, striking fireplace mantles, original woodwork & mouldings, built-in window & stair seats, the handsome original staircase, French doors, pocket doors, and even a “sleeping porch” off the main bedroom. Stunning antique light fixtures have been added, and hand-crafted details are everywhere. There’s a timeless custom kitchen, and the house has also been modernized to include two-zone Unico central air-conditioning. Out back, a deck overlooks the private patio & garden. The glamorous main bath has its original subway tile walls with ribbon tile trim, a marble-topped sink, and a claw-footed soaking tub plus a contemporary spa shower. Up top, there’s a roof deck with an auxiliary kitchenette. The house is located at the end of its row, with windows on three sides that let in abundant natural light. The location is one of the prettiest blocks in Garden Court, and it’s just one block north of Baltimore Ave, the area’s “main street.” Catch the #34 trolley there and arrive in center city in 15 minutes, with stops at UPenn, Drexel, and the 30th St. train station along the way. Or stay local and dine at one of the little restaurants along the Avenue, or visit Clark Park or Cedar Park, each only a few blocks away. This location is also within the catchment area of the high-performing Penn Alexander K-8 public grade school, although catchment area location doesn’t guarantee admittance.
