About This Home
As of June 2024At 48th & Springfield in the Cedar Park neighborhood of University City, here's a stunning Queen Anne Victorian twin with 5/6 BRs and 3 full plus 2 half baths. Lovely old-house details include leaded glass, gleaming oak floors with inlaid borders, sunny bay windows with window seats, pocket doors, and original brass chandeliers (once lit by gas as well as electricity). The house is light-filled and open, really great for entertaining. Much has been renovated/ upgraded in recent years; don't miss the high velocity central a/c (and heat pump heat as a cozy back-up for the radiators)on the 2nd & 3rd floors (not on the 1st). The first floor includes a roomy front porch, an entry vestibule and a wide hallway, a spacious living room with a decorative fireplace, a big dining room, a recent half bath and a cook's eat-in kitchen. There's an old-fashioned back porch overlooking the large, fenced, rear yard. Upstairs, the second floor has a huge family room with a decorative fireplace, main bedroom and adjacent dressing room with spacious modern closets, and a recent bath. The third floor has 3 more bedrooms and 2 baths (one recent; one vintage) plus a laundry room and more large closets. The basement has several finished rooms and a half bath. The location, a wide street of similar twins with street trees and gardens, is beautiful, and the restaurants and shops of Baltimore Ave., the area's "main street," are just a few blocks away. On Baltimore or Chester Ave., you can catch a trolley for a 15-minute ride to center city, with stops at the Penn & Drexel campuses along the way. Also, the free Penn bus (for affiliates) stops at the corner.
