4929 Warrington Ave Philadelphia, PA 19143

This bright, right-size twin has thoughtful owner upgrades alongside the original charming details that make West Philly homes so special. The front porch, the first of two uber-usable outdoor spaces, welcomes you in with a wall of lush flowering vines. A beveled glass entry door opens into a vestibule with original wainscoting and tile floor, and through to the living room, which has an arched window overlooking the porch as well as two side windows and a built-in bookshelf. The spacious dining room with two oversize windows has a convenient coat closet and a large passthrough window to the kitchen. Division of labor for meal prep is a breeze in this functional and stylishly updated space, where a bank of cabinets, floating shelves and quartz countertops run along one wall, and crisp white appliances, a full-size pantry and mix of solid and glass-front cabinets are on the other. Out back the yard has been outfitted as the ultimate hang zone--the wood fence has integrated lighting and surrounds a maintenance-free gravel area to gather around the brick firepit. Up on the sun-soaked second floor there are three bedrooms and a hall bath with window, half wall tile accent and linen closet. The current owners use the room at the rear, which has two exposures from three windows, as their main bedroom. The largest bedroom at the front, with a pretty bay and total window count of five, currently serves double duty as a TV room and home office, but traditionally would be used as a main bedroom with a designated sitting area. The middle bedroom has plenty of room for a queen-sized bed. The full-length basement, with its good ceiling height, three windows and recently parged and painted walls, offers more than just storage--a workshop, full laundry room and workout equipment could all find a home here. This home is on a pretty block in an ideal location with the best of Baltimore Ave at your fingertips.
