About This Home
As of June 2024Welcome to 922 S. 48th Street! This beautiful 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath Victorian porch-front twin with excellent outdoor space sits on an extra wide and extra deep 28 x 100 lot, and has all of the historic charm, modern upgrades, extra space and light you've been looking for! As you pass through the front garden and spacious porch—perfect for this summer's West Philly Porchfest—you'll be greeted by a grand vestibule featuring decorative tiling and a stained cut glass double door. To your left is a double-entry living room with sliding pocket doors where you'll enjoy high ceilings and an expansive area to relax or entertain, with a view of the first decorative fireplace to make you feel right at home. The original hardwood floors with walnut inlay flow into the dining room that will easily accommodate family and friends. The designer Lincrusta wall trim is a delight to see and a reminder that original charm abounds throughout this home. Moving toward the back of the house is easy access to the powder room, and an eat-in kitchen featuring recessed lighting, island, gas stovetop, dishwasher, double oven, microwave, plus generous counter and cabinet space, followed by a covered porch with views into the lush and tranquil backyard. A handy coat closet keeps things tidy. On the 2nd level you'll find the coveted main bedroom with great closet space, and direct access to an adjoining room for even more space and closets—perfect for a home office or infant nursery. Down the hall awaits a full-sized bedroom or 2nd living room, embellished by a 2nd decorative fireplace and a dreamy bay window alcove. A spacious bathroom with a dual vanity sink, stall shower, and two convenient hall closets complete this level. On the 3rd floor you'll find 3 more good-sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, 2 additional hallway closets, and an upper floor laundry room. Bonus storage space awaits in the attic. The full and deep basement offers more room to stretch out, plus another half bathroom. Lovingly maintained, the home has many upgrades including all updated electric, high velocity air conditioning, solar panels, newer roofs and slate tiling. Additional highlights include new ceiling fans, a skylight with florentine glass, built-in book cases, exposed brick wall, permeable backyard pavers, multiple stained glass windows, deep clawfoot tub with shower hookup, and whole house water filtering and softening system. Located in Cedar Park, this home achieved a University City Historical Society's Gift to The Street Award thanks to the beautiful restoration of the exterior facade. This West Philly winner sits close to universities, Baltimore Avenue's amenities, public transportation, multiple playgrounds, hospitals, grocers, University Swim Club, Mariposa CoOp, Cobbs Creek Nature Center, and Clark Park. You'll love being in an area that has significant architectural and historical significance, exciting development activity, and great walkability. Plus you’ll enjoy an easy commute to Center City by car or bike, with plenty of convenient bus, and trolley (less than 5-minute walk to #13 and #34 lines) and regional rail options. Welcome home!
