About This Home
Welcome to 5014 Chestnut Street, a spacious and lovingly cared-for home in the charming Walnut Hill neighborhood of University City, Philadelphia, where historic charm and modern updates come together seamlessly. The covered front porch invites you to pause and take in the streetscape, offering the perfect spot for morning coffee or an afternoon reset. Step inside and you’re greeted by timeless character — rich hardwood floors, detailed wood features, and a beautifully restored staircase that serves as the heart of the home, setting a tone that feels warm, soulful, and authentic from the moment you arrive. The main level offers a generous, open layout that flows naturally and effortlessly, designed for real living, real gathering, and real connection. A convenient first-floor half bath adds everyday comfort in all the right ways. The kitchen has been completely updated for modern style and function, featuring bright cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and an open layout that makes the space feel airy and social, whether you’re cooking, hosting, or winding down after a long day. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms filled with natural light including one that adapts perfectly to your lifestyle — an ideal place for a home office, cozy den, library nook, or creative retreat. The fenced-in backyard offers privacy and possibility, ready to become anything from a peaceful garden to a space for pets, play, or evening hangouts under string lights. Here, city living feels personal. Local cafés, coffee shops, and neighborhood restaurants are a short stroll away, adding to the community energy this area is known for. Commuting and travel beyond the neighborhood are simple, with quick access to major highways including Interstate 76 and Interstate 476, supporting smooth daily routines, regional commutes, and weekend adventures alike. Buyers may independently explore possible homeownership support programs through University of Pennsylvania Penn Home Ownership Services. Eligibility and program requirements must be determined by Buyer, and any inquiries or applications should be made directly through the program provider. This home pairs the kind of original craftsmanship you admire with the kind of space you actually use — a place that feels welcoming, versatile, and beautifully prepared for its next owner to make their own story
