Property Description
This absolutely stunning c.1892 Victorian Queen Anne twin home was just renovated with great care and attention to detail by members of the family which has owned the property since the early 1950s. The result is 3000+ s.f. of period splendor - original woodwork, gleaming oak flooring, glittering leaded glass, period lighting, lincrusta-type wall coverings, gingerbread trim, decorative fireplaces and a grand staircase - combined with a brand-new gourmet kitchen and 2+1/2 brand-new glamorous baths. It's awe-inspiring! And gorgeous! With 5-6 bedrooms, spacious living and dining rooms, a first floor laundry & back porch, large front & back yards and a wrap-around front porch, no one will ever be short on space here. In the Cedar Park neighborhood of University City, the 47th & Springfield location is close to the community's Baltimore Avenue "main street" of small businesses and cafes from many parts of the world. Thinking of eating Ethiopian for dinner? You've got several choices. How about Lao-Thai, or Vietnamese, or Mediterranean or Indian? And there's pizza and beer at the local brewery, too, and an ice cream store. Want to venture a little farther? Hop on the Route 34 trolley on Baltimore Ave. and be in center city in about 15 minutes, with stops at the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, and the 30th St. Station transportation hub along the way. Working at UPenn? If your feet are tired at the end of the day, the evening Penn bus route for eligible riders comes right out Springfield Avenue.
