Property Description

West Philly's best! This historic 2718 sf, 3-story home c.1921 in the 100+ year old Garden Court neighborhood of University City still has all of its handsome original details – leaded glass, hardwood flooring with decorative borders, beamed ceilings, original woodwork and staircases – and in an unusual window above the brick living room fireplace, a stained glass depiction of a vine or tree which appears to be growing large purple grapes! Up-to-date amenities have been added in recent years, including a cook's kitchen, newer baths, a/c, plenty of subtle lighting, and modern wiring. The 4600 block of Larchwood Ave. is one of the very best blocks in the neighborhood, and in the catchment area for the high- rated K-8 Penn Alexander public school.* The front garden begins to come to life in March, and the front porch has space for sitting and admiring the block, maybe waving to the owner-occupant neighbors walking by. A vestibule leads to the living room with its wood- burning fireplace. The full dining room is bright and airy, with a 3- window bay. The sleek, efficient kitchen has eat-in space at the island and a pantry for additional storage. Out back is a covered porch with steps leading down to a brick patio and garden beds. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms (originally designed as 2 plus a family room), a “sleeping porch” and a luxurious bath on the second floor; and on the third floor, 2 more bedrooms, an exercise room/family room and another bath. The semi-finished basement with a half bath is a great space for storage and a workshop, game room or play room, and laundry. The location is just 2 blocks north of Baltimore Avenue, West Philly's "main street," known for its eclectic restaurants, bars & shops. Two parks - Cedar Park and Clark Park - are close by. If you want to venture farther, hop on the trolley - the ride to center city takes only 15 minutes, stopping at UPenn, Drexel U and the 30th St. transportation hub along the way. (*Catchment address doesn't guarantee admittance.)
