Property Description
Before you even step inside, the setting makes an impression. Sitting on an exceptionally rare 15' x 117' lot, the home is framed by a beautifully landscaped front yard that feels worlds away from the typical Philadelphia streetscape. A charming covered front porch welcomes you inside, where restored original hardwood floors immediately ground the home in its history. The living room is warm and refined, centered around a custom-built fireplace with thoughtfully integrated accent shelving that creates a natural focal point. Beyond, a spacious dining area flows effortlessly into the stunning kitchen, designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring oversized shaker cabinetry, brand-new stainless steel appliances, and an expansive island with bar seating.
One of the renovation's most thoughtful details is tucked just beyond the kitchen. The pantry is finished with repurposed original doors salvaged during construction, preserving a tangible piece of the home's past within an otherwise completely transformed interior. A first-floor powder room, an amenity every city homeowner appreciates, adds convenience without sacrificing space.
Out back, a brand-new rear deck overlooks what is truly one of the property's defining features. The backyard is enormous by Philadelphia standards, freshly sodded and complemented by thoughtfully designed garden space, creating endless possibilities for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying a quiet evening outside.
The restored original staircase leads to a second floor that feels remarkably grand thanks to soaring 10-foot ceilings throughout. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom featuring a custom-fabricated dual vanity and striking two-toned European tile. The hall bathroom continues the same elevated design language with carefully selected finishes and a soaking tub, while two additional bedrooms offer generous proportions and abundant natural light.
Below the home, a feature that is rarely this well executed in a Philadelphia rowhome: a massive basement spanning the full footprint of the property. Fully restored and professionally waterproofed, the space offers outstanding flexibility for storage, hobbies, a home gym, workshop, or future finishing potential. A dedicated walkout door to the front yard makes moving bikes, seasonal furniture, tools, and larger items in and out remarkably easy without ever passing through the main living space.
Life here extends well beyond the property lines. Cedar Park has become one of Philadelphia's most beloved neighborhoods, celebrated for its tree-lined streets, historic architecture, neighborhood cafés, restaurants, and strong sense of community. You're just minutes from the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, making this an exceptional location for professionals, faculty, and students alike. Spend your weekends walking to neighborhood favorites for coffee, dinner, or the local farmers market, then come home to a property that offers something remarkably difficult to find in the city: exceptional craftsmanship, an oversized lot with incredible outdoor living, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing virtually every inch has already been rebuilt.
