About This Home

As of July 2025

This 1700 s.f., 2-story twin home in the Garden Court neighborhood of University City, West Philly, has the to-die-for 1920s details that West Philly buyers value: an original tiled vestibule, gleaming red pine flooring, pocket doors, a decorative fireplace in the living room, a handsome staircase...there’s even a bay window nook with leaded glass and a window seat! Along with these sweet architectural features, you’ll find a classic kitchen, full dining room, 4 big bedrooms and 1+1/2 up-to-date baths. The lot size is 20’ x 115’ - there’s a front garden with a fig tree, plus a great big back yard. The location is a serene small block just up the street from Malcolm X Park.
